    I am so thankful that we found Singleton basketball for my son. To say that he has grown as a player is an absolute understatement. James and his team of coaches have the technical knowledge and the basketball IQ that have allowed my sons skills to grow by leaps and bounds. They have worked with him whenever he has struggled to pick up a skill or a concept and they have taught him that with focus and dedication he can really achieve what he wants. James and his team don’t just care about my son’s basketball skills but care about him as a young man and have become more than a coach but also a role model and a mentor. My sons’ self-esteem and confidence have grown just as much as his basketball prowess maybe even more because they treat him like one of their own family members. They are so helpful when I have any questions or concerns and really go above and beyond to communicate with parents and be accessible to everyone. I have looked at and even tried other programs in the area, but Singleton Basketball really has the basketball pedigree that is unmatched anywhere in the DFW area. I’m so excited to watch my son grow and achieve his goals with James and his team.

    Coach Singleton is a fantastic coach. He challenges players and holds them accountable to a very high standard all while making it enjoyable. He teaches the details that many other coaches rush through. Our son has improved greatly with his footwork, shooting and and ball handling.

    Coach Singletons attention to detail on each players game is awesome. He pinpoints strengths and weaknesses and then addresses them individually. I love the attention to footwork and detail. He has an incredible balance with challenging his players and encouraging them.

    My son, Davis, has been working with Coach Singleton for 3 years and has Improved like no other. He’s worked with a lot of trainers but Coach Singleton stuck because he is a great trainer, mentor, and person. It wasn’t only about basketball when working with my son. He takes his time out of his day to help Davis, not only with basketball but with school and life in general. I would recommend Coach Singleton to anyone looking for someone who pushes their kids to their greatest potential but in a healthy, positive, and caring way. He has only wanted what is the best for Davis.

    My son has been taking lessons from Coach Singleton for a year now & he is a totally different player. Coach Singleton is able to teach skills in a couple of sessions that my son had previously been working on all season. James is extremely passionate & has a unique approach to each kid.
    He is teaching our kids much more than being a great basketball player-he is teaching them work ethic & to set their goals high.
    Coach Singleton is the ONE coach that has had the greatest impact on my child & changed his path, I will forever be grateful.

    Frequently asked questions

    My approach with each player is different since no two players are the same.  The first few minutes of the 1st session will always start with a few basic drills to observe and accurately evaluate their skillset. This allows me to customize the rest of that session and future sessions to get the most improvement out of every minute spent working with this player.  With an open mind, Each player/parent is GUARANTEED to see improvement within the first 10mins of the session.   

    I've played 14 years professionally, 6 years in the NBA, and 8 years overseas. With the addition of high school professional-level coaching to my resume. I am able to not only offer the skills I have acquired from playing at every level possible of basketball but also the knowledge of what the coaching side expects from each player.

    During the off-season, I train and improve the skill set of both amateurs and professional players as well as my own personal growth. I also lead several skills camps during the summer at PSA in Plano.  Coaching and educating players is my passion....... 

    My Standard pricing system is given to the client upon our first contact.  

    Over the course of my career, I've always been a student of the game.  Foreseeing the court's actions unfold before they are fully developed has always been a unique skill I've had from day one.  As my basketball career progressed, I found myself more and more interested in coaches and their players' mindset.  I began studying each team I played against.  It wasn't long before my teammates would come to me and the coaches to ask my opinion on the game plan before and during the match.  

    I've worked with a wide variety of athletes. I've worked with and mentored beginners to professionals. Since I myself have played at every level (middle school and everything in between all the way to the highest level - NBA), adding my experience as a Nba coach allows me to not only know the game from experience but also help players understand what coaches want.... therefore I know I can relate to every player, no matter their starting point.  

    I'm fond of the experience I've had this basketball season (20-21) with Marcus High School.  Seeing the improvement and mental growth these young men have gained has been the greatest reward I can ask for.  Over the course of my career, a most recent event was when one of my players from a previous coaching season (an NBA vet of 10 years) was really struggling with finishing when up against guys bigger and or strong than him. We worked every day for a week, and each workout, he would be amazed at the things I taught him. He would say that no one in all his career had broken down things for him the way I did and had him doing and trying new things... then to see in the following game he was able to apply what he learned and was not only successful but scored. The look on his face and his pure appreciation for me working with him reminded me of why I love developing players. 

    My advice would be to research that trainer. Asking if you can visit the trainer during one of his/her sessions and watch them workout another player. Afterward, if you and your parent like what you've seen, then try one session and see if the trainer is more than just a great storyteller or showman.  Word of mouth is one thing; action is another.  Being a great trainer/coach is the ability to make the player in front of you better, not just physical talent but also mentally ingraining and increasing self-confidence.   James Singleton

    Honestly, there is no such thing as an unrealistic or crazy question.  A good teacher/trainer/coach will be able to address any question asked TRUTHFULLY.
