Hoopz U

I am a coach first and foremost so for the most part i know what coaches on different levels are looking for in tryouts and scouting. I take your childs flaws and make them into strengths make the well rounded players that can play anywhere. Plus a portion of the training session is based on learning common knowledge of the game of basketball.

I love working with the various kids i recieve. Being a coach at Langham Creek YMCA i get to alter a lot of kids futures with basketball. I love to hear from parents that after being under my tutelage their child made their first basketball team or was able to play aau basketball or just became better players with hopes of going to college. I love everything about this game good and bad. Hoops is more than a sport its a lifestyle and possibly a life changing event waiting to happen.

I coached 11 seasons at ymca where i went from little known to the most highly requested coach.

I have gotten 29 boys and 3 girls onto their schools team for the first time in their lives that i can verify.

I have gotten 22 boys and 2 girls into AAU Basketball that i can verify.

I have coached and trained over 200 kids within the parameters of ymca rules which only gives a 1 hour practice once a week for 8-9 weeks.

Within those 11 seasons i have had 13 undeafeted seasons coaching a team for high schoolers and a mainly middle school squads.

I have had girls come and play on my boys teams and were better when we were done with the season. Played and trained just as hard as the boys and in return all girls i have ever had plays for a school.

I help these kids out by breaking them down to the most primitive aspect of themselves...i.e. If they are shy i will try to get them to open up or simple corrections such as form and foot placement.

I can teach anything in the sport but i specialze in defense because i know as long as a player can play elite defense they have a spot for them on somebodys court.

The 2 hours you pay for will cover parts of what the player wants to change and parts of what i see in the player and common knowledge of the game in total...

The player will learn how to create space on-off ball, how to defend in a team capacity and individual capacity, improve ball handling, and any other techniques that are needed.

I want my trainings to feel like a school so i would love to retain as many kids as possible to train every week and proudly showcase the development from beginning to end.

At the time i would rather meet at gym or basketball court need the players im training with the hopes of having enough kids to keep them playing om hardwood courts as much as possible.

Of course if you need more information please feel free to contact me anytime...

Thank you for your time.
