My son went to Air Kev for two years and got the best training that he had in all of his sports (basketball, baseball and soccer). He has moved on to play soccer at Ohio State but we still tell him to "practice like Air Kev's training" to push yourself to increase your skills and speed to execute them without thinking and being able to use them in the game. Kevin's upbeat style and high energy training is very very unique. We can't thank him enough for putting his thumbprint on our son. Dan, Lisa and Parker Grinstead

Not only is Air Kev Duncan one of the best and knowledgeable basketball trainers in the area, he really cares about the participants. He goes above and beyond to share basketball skills to improve your child's basketball play, even meeting with them off-hours or via facetime to help improve their game. Our children have definitely benefited from his trainings as we see their ball handling and shooting techniques get better and better. However, we also see our children becoming more outgoing, confident, and assertive in communicating with others on and off the court. Other parents have said the same. Kev's life lessons for the players are something you do not get from other trainers. Thank you Air Kev!

Air Kev is a knowledgeable, motivational top notch trainer. Because of Kev’s training, I have elevated my game. I am more confident with the ball, technically sound and have superb footwork. Best basketball trainer around!

AIR KEV is an amazing trainer/motivator! He breaks down the how, why, and even when to use the skills players learn during his sessions. He’ll go above and beyond in every session and truly pushes the players to work harder for themselves. Can not recommend him enough!

Air Kev has an absolute wealth of knowledge and coaching experience, which was very apparent from Day 1. His ability to quickly earn the respect of his players allows him to have complete command of his training session from start to finish. Every session is always well planned, smoothly executed, and just a joy to watch. His commitment to the art of coaching, his players, and the game of basketball has been a blessing to my son. Personally, I am thankful that he has become a part of my son’s life.

If you are serious about getting better at basketball, then you definitely need to train with Air Kev! He is by far one of the best trainers in the tri-state! He takes the time to give the instruction that the player is needing improvement in, and will push you to get to the next level. If your soft he will make you tough! He is not afraid to tell you to not come back till you have mastered what he wants you to do to get better. He is not in it for the money, he is in it to develop players! If you come back and haven't mastered what you have been instructed to master, he will tell the parent to bring him back when he has so he isn't taking the parents money. You dont find those kind of people anymore. He gives specific instructions to the parent to let them know what to work on. That to me meant so much. If a trainer doesn't inform you on what your player needs to work on, then you ask when you leave and say, (so how did it go, (kid says) good. And you say, what did he say,(kid says) nothing really. Never have I been there with Kev. It's been, what did you think, kids says, it was good. That's when you know, you found a good trainer. It's all about how good do you want to be.

Air Kev is knowledgeable, driven, and pushes his players to get better in their time with him AND away from him.

Our son has trained with Air Kev for the past five years. During that time, he has grown both as a player and as an individual. Air Kev challenges all players to achieve their highest levels through the use of skill enhancement training. Players become students’ of the game, learning how to apply these skills within a game setting. Air Kev is also an excellent motivator, encouraging students to improve their game by working through and using errors to make improvements. He helps them to develop confidence in themselves to use not only on the basketball floor, but in their daily lives.

My son has been training with Air Kev for almost a year now. The difference in his skill level and confidence from a year ago is amazing. He is pushed outside of his comfort zone and that has enabled him to do things he didn’t have the confidence to do before. My son can’t get enough training with Kev and would be there everyday if he could. We are so happy we made the decision to have him train with Air Kev. Best decision!

There are not enough stars for how I feel about air kev and what he does! My Girls (9,11) have been training with him since January and joined his app soon after. What he teaches, breakdown, HOW he teaches with motivational words ...I can’t share enough! As a parent watching I have enjoyed learning with my girls. My 9 year old came to him NEVER playing And with weekly Trainings tried out for her first AAU team and is playing UP! She also came in timid and shy and he has brought out a confidence in her we feared may Never Come. He’s very interactive with my kids via the app and his style has them WANT to learn and keep pushing for more! He challenges my Girls and they embrace it! I really can’t recommend working with air kev enough!

Kev is the absolute best when it comes to footwork, speed, agility and poise in the game of basketball. My son has severe anxiety, and Kev has been able to work with him and improve his game immensely. My younger son also has been training with him for about 4 months now, and Kev has turned him from average to an elite player. He can now compete with some high school age boys. Kev is hands down THE BEST trainer in the tristate area. #DetailsMatter

My son started training with AirKev when he was in second or third grade. He may have been his first client. He is now out of school and no longer plays organized basketball. However, that tells you AirKev has been around & can show experience and knowledge to what each individual kid needs to work on. AirKev’s training took my son’s skills to a whole new level. He played some Varsity as a freshman & started varsity his sophomore year through his senior year. AirKev training always challenged my son with new drills once he mastered a skill. I highly recommend AirKev!
