My son expressed his interest in basketball and had some kids in his school make fun of his basketball skills. I found coach Barkley online and he was the first one to reply to me right away. My son was so nervous the first two sessions he didn’t want to even remove his hood on his hoodie he wore. After the third session he did, and coach Barkley started to unlock a confidence I had never seen before. Coach always went the extra mile to explain things to him that other coaches wouldn’t. The fundamentals of basketball were the focus. My son went from knowing nothing to increasing his speed, agility, understanding of drills, rules, positions, and how to make a proper shot. My son’s grandparents started coming to watch and after watching all of their grandkids they expressed how amazing coach Barkley was. They had never seen a coach go so in depth to make sure kids of all abilities could understand what he was teaching. Every Saturday he would do practice and a lot of times it would go over the hour. He is an incredible person and coach. He brought out confidence in my son no one else has ever been able to. If you are looking for a coach he is the absolute best and I highly recommend him. I can’t thank him enough for all he did in the five months my son worked with him.

My son has autism and adhd and has a hard time making new friends or just feeling comfortable enough to try new things. After expressing his interest in basketball he had some kids in his school make fun of his basketball skills. I searched the internet and found a place in solon that has basketball machines and coaching but after checking the place out they basically just set the machine up and left him to figure it out. He was so upset and had even less confidence after that experience. I found coach Barkley online and he was the first one to reply to me right away. My son was so nervous the first two sessions he didn’t want to even remove his hood on his hoodie. After the third session he did, and coach Barkley started to unlock a confidence I had never seen before. Coach always went the extra mile to explain things to him that other coaches wouldn’t.
