Specializing in full well rounded development of players from guards to post players. Weekly plans as well as monthly plans for training. Group or individual training available.

If you are looking for a team please let me know. Current grade teams 6th, 7th/8th grade boys.

I mostly enjoy the joy the kids get when they accomplish something never done before. Becoming better. Their peers recognizing them for their hard work. Learning that they can achieve if they believe and apply themselves.

Coach Marcus, without a doubt, is the best coach my son had. With a dedication and patience that sets him apart, he excels at teaching the right techniques. Punctuality and knowledge are also noteworthy traits, as he consistently imparts valuable knowledge and expertise. He conducts extensive drills to ensure mastery of the fundamentals and is always ready to answer any questions. Overall, my son couldnt have asked for a more accommodating and effective coach.

Thanks Vinod. Your son can now workout with the big boys. I think he's ready for group training. Appreciate the review. See you soon.

Coach Marcus is one of those coaches that are rare and hard to find in that not only did he play the game at a high level, but also knows the game and trains with a genuine desire to make you better.

Fine tuning the details of your form, shot release, defensive stance, and hustle are just a few key areas Coach Marcus will focus on and hold you accountable for. At the end of each training session, you will leave feeling more accomplished than how you arrived.

If you are serious and your child in making a school team, college team, or getting to the next level then make no mistake, Coach Marcus is the right coach to put your trust in and invest.

How did you get started teaching?

I got started in 2012 when I lost my corporate job. A friend of mine had football teams and he wanted to have them play basketball during the offseason. Knowing me and my background he calls me to help out as an assistant. From then on I just reverted back to all the training and skills that I had gone through myself and started developing those players which most went on to go to college play basketball on scholarship. The rest is history

What types of students have you worked with?

I work with Boys and girls at all levels. All ages starting from age three all the way up to 20s. From A B and C players to elite players and even professionals. Beginners to intermediate to advance.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.

From a parent July 2023. "Truth be told, she came because of you. She said I don't want to go to this game. I am scared, and I don't want to go. But, if I don't, I feel like I will let Coach Marcus down. And, when she got in the game, and he did start her, she just went for it! I really can't thank you enough!!! It's just really nice to see her happy while she's playing!!! For me, that's really all that matters! And, she gained mad respect from the girls who didn't give her the time of day before."
