the training I have received from Stephen smalley has helped me become a much better player than before. I have learned alot of great things from him which helped me out a bunch. Hes taught me many new skills like proper footwork, proper way to slide your feet on defense, ball handling, the right way to shoot, and many other great things. He has been a great skills trainer which is why I continue to do skills with him.

Frequently asked questions

I start off requesting film in hopes of evaluating what level the student currently is as to not have them doing drills below their level of play.

I am a Certified Impact Trainer, a course taught by Joe Abunassar. I am also certified with USAB for youth basketball development. I have coached/trained the same core of girls and for the most part as 8th graders they are all projected to play Varsity basketball their freshman, no later than, their sophomore year.

I started off merely as a girls rec basketball coach. I then recognized that the Denton County area was sorely lacking good training for kids looking to prepare for middle and high school and then eventually college.

I have mostly worked with girls from the 4th-8th grade range. They come in anywhere from being novices to minimum basketball experience.

The Prime Time National Tournament was held the last weekend of July here in the DFW area. I took some of my players from the select team I coach and combined them with some players from another coach's team and with only a couple of days of practice, we were able to go win 4 out of 7 games, making us good enough to win 2nd place in the Challenger's Bracket.

The best advice I could give is to make sure that you choose someone that can develop a training curriculum based on your current basketball level of play.
