Evaluations are key when it comes to my individual sessions. Breakdowns of drills and techniques to a level in which young players (or advanced) will understand will improve their game today and in the future. I hope to not teach at kids but engage them in their development and all around game by explaining and demonstrating how and why we are doing what we are doing.

Although I personally do not know much about basketball, I know that Alli has helped my little brother in more ways than one. I've worked as an SAT prep instructor for a decade. I know my craft and can tell when another knows his/hers. Alli knows basketball! My brother has been meeting with her on a biweekly basis for 4 - 5 months. He has expressed that he definitely finds the lessons to be beneficial.
With Alli's direct assistance, I was able to get my brother onto an AAU basketball team just before the season's end. Alli even came out to his tryout as a show of support. When the team resumes playing in the Spring, he will have a place. Thank you for everything Alli! You've gone above and beyond what I expected when I initially contacted you. For that, I will be forever grateful!

Jeff (CoachUp client)
Alli is a top notch coach! She easily moves from a strategic to tactical level and allows the player to not only get inside the mind of a coach but teaches also teaches a a level of detail I’ve not seen before. Willian is soaking all this information up like a spurge and I’ve already seen improvement in his game in only a few sessions.

Being a former athlete myself, I was very impressed with Coach Alli. Her knowledge of the court and attention to body language was on point. My daughter is a beginner basketball player and left handed. After her fist practice with Coach Alli she was able make a determination that she may actually be a right hand shooter and I concur.
We are definitely scheduling more practices with Coach Alli. Couldn’t ask for a better teacher for my daughter and developing her skills.
Thank you
Matthew (CoachUp client)
Coach Alli did a great job working with my Sophomore Daughter. What I liked best was that she was instructing her, pushing her, and supporting her all at the same time. We were happy to work with Coach Alli and look forward to more lessons.
Pascale (CoachUp client)
Coach Alli really is an awesome Coach! My daughter loves her. I love that she teaches my daughter how to utilize her strengths to be a better player.
Luby (CoachUp client)
Coach Alli is very knowledgeable, she breaks it down very well and explains the game of basketball in way that beginners can understand it without taking anything away from the game. The training schedule was well prepared, my daughter stayed active through out the training, and gained a lot in her first training, with that being said we have finally found a great knowledgeable basketball trainer and I will definitely be booking another session 🏀
Lenita (CoachUp client)
Coach Alli is amazing. She thoroughly makes sure my son understand basketball terms and the importance of each position. I saw improvement in my son almost instantaneous, from his shooting posture and the use of his legs. Coach Alli is passionate about basketball and it is seen throughout every session. I highly recommend her and I’d course, will book more sessions!

Kevin (CoachUp client)
Coach Alli prepares a plan for the session and covered a lot of material. She helped my daughter instantly with instruction on shooting posture and using her legs more. She created drills to practice dribbling and shooting. She also covered defensive principles and ran drills to help my daughter understand the different defensive strategies. I plan to use coach Alli more. She also has a great personality and made the session fun.
Kewan (CoachUp client)
Coach Alli is fantastic! I found her to be excellent in what she does, how she softly connects and explains every drill in detail. She is extremely professional, punctual, responsive and someone that takes pride in what she does. I highly recommend her and look forward to work with her in coaching all of my children.
Jason (CoachUp client)
What can one say when she has over 59 reviews all 5 stars! Alli is such a pleasure to work with it. We would be sticking with her if we weren’t moving to Miami. We did the 10 package deal and worth every dollar. She is very easy to work with for scheduling. I love the fact that she gave my son (cayden) homework for drills and has opened his eyes on Basketball IQ. She made him work up a sweat every session! You truly are the best and will be missed! Like I mentioned earlier, what can one truly say about Alli who has over 59 reviews all 5 stars! It only says one thing.. she knows what she is doing and does it great! Highly recommended

Coach Alli made my daughter feel comfortable and eager to learn more about the game of basketball. Looking forward to more sessions. Thank you Coach Alli!!
Michelle (CoachUp client)
This was our first session with Coach Alli, and I have nothing but positive things to say about her. She is very thorough, and is sure to explain the “hows” and “whys” to everything she teaches. She took the time to assess the level at which my daughter plays and gave her pointers to work on outside of the sessions. We can’t wait to work with Coach Alli, again.

Scott (CoachUp client)
On our recent spring vacation we were looking for something that we could do to give our daughter some training while away from her regular practices. We got exactly that and more. It was our first experience with one on one training and coach Allie was perfect, working on things that is not always available during a regular team practice. Coach Allie’s knowledge of the sport and personal training is first rate. Our daughter loved coach Allie and we are looking forward to more sessions on our next visit to the Tampa Bay area.
Amanda (CoachUp client)
Coach Alli is a huge advantage for my son. She offers a great perspective and I can see improvement in my son’s basketball knowledge for sure. Working with her is a good investment!

Great trainer! Very knowledgeable and really cares about improving your child's skill set. Coach Alli made our daughter feel comfortable where she could ask questions and communicate what is happening in game situations so she could learn the proper techniques to improve and be successful. We would definitely recommend Coach Alli to anyone with children who play basketball and want to get better as well as learn the game.
Paul (CoachUp client)
Coach Alli is great with my son. She explains everything in a way that he understands. He has really shown a desire to work hard and learn as much as possible from her.
Chris (CoachUp client)
Coach Alli is fantastic. There were a couple of things that really impressed me about Coach Alli at my 13 year old son's first training session with her.
First, she has a great knowledge of the game. She would teach him the physical fundamentals of a technique and then explain the basketball strategy behind the technique. I could see the light bulb going on in my son's head.
The other thing that really impressed me was her honest and positive critique of my son's skills. She instantly identified some of his weaknesses and went to work correcting them.
My son couldn't quit talking about the training session on the way home. Hearing him talk about it, I can tell working with Coach Alli is going to motivate him to become the best player he can be. I couldn't be happier with our decision to hire her!
Vicki (CoachUp client)

Julia (CoachUp client)
I loved how honest you were! It actually helps a lot when you tell me directly what I am doing wrong so I can fix it. It might take me a couple but it's so helpful. Also, I loved how you could tell what my weaknesses and strengths were without asking!
Jay (CoachUp client)
Great coach
Leonard (CoachUp client)
Coach Alli is great! She took the time to meet me & my daughter (age 11) before we signed up for a single session. She was welcoming and listened to what we were looking for and created a customized plan for my daughter. She makes good use of the time we spend together and my daughter looks forward to her lessons & time with Coach Alli. Highly recommend.

We are truly impressed with Coach Alli. She is coaching my 10 year old beginner player and she loves her.

My son learned a lot from coach Alli Dynes observations and variety of drills. He feels that she is the one that can help him take his game to the next level. He is very eager to continue his training and wants to make sure that she remains his coach. He says she really knows how to break down the mechanics of the game and he now knows what he needs to work on between sessions in order to improve his game.

We would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants to take their game to the next level. Thank you Coach Alli and when we visit again we will be in touch
Sharron (CoachUp client)
Coach Allie provided my daughter with an assessment of her skills where she is as an athlete amongst her peers. Working on expanding her skills in her natural athlete positions. I am looking forward to continue training and see her growth in the upcoming HS season.
Joseph (CoachUp client)
Megan has been training with Coach Alli for a month now and both Megan and I couldn't be happier. Coach Alli has worked directly and flexibly with Megan (a senior in HS) to schedule sessions.
During the workouts, Alli is quick to identify areas of potential improvement and can jump in as necessary to demonstrate what she wants and provide defensive or offensive pressure to give the "live game" feel to the workouts.
Every workout has been prepared ahead of time with speed, strength and agility components integrated directly into the skill workouts to keep the entire session free from repetitiveness.
We recommend coach Allison without hesitation!
Madison (CoachUp client)
Coach Alli was so much fun and I learned a lot of new things from her. After only 2 sessions, I could already tell that I could shoot better with what she taught me. I can't wait to keep on improving with her help!
Hugo (CoachUp client)
Very professional. Wonderful rapport with my 8 yo daughter. My daughter was really motivated to try hard and had lots of fun. We're really looking forward to more sessions.
Milton (CoachUp client)
Great trainer that can accommodate all skill levels. My daughter had a couple of lessons with Coach Alli and was challenged in multiple ways. Loved the way she combines agility/strength training with general basketball skills training. Definitely recommend Coach Alli. My daughter will start training with her again immediately after High School session.
Rhonda (CoachUp client)
Coach Alli was wonderful and very patient.
Quinton (CoachUp client)

Missy (CoachUp client)
Coach Alli is AMAZING. My daughter learned so much in just one session. She can't wait for her next lesson this week! Coach Alli is very patient and uses the hour wisely. There is no standing around doing nothing. WELL worth it!!!
Kaelee (CoachUp client)
If you're looking for a trainer that will actually get you better, Coach Alli is your girl. After only 3 sessions, I feel more prepared for college basketball then I ever thought I could be. Unlike most trainers who just make up their sessions as they go, Coach Alli comes with a plan that will best help you achieve your goals. I have and will continue to recommend Coach Alli to everyone looking for a trainer. I wish I found her earlier!!

Coach Alli is a great coach! She is very professional, knowledgeable & fun to work with. She helped my girls become better athletes immediately! I highly recommend Alli to anyone wanting to improve any facet of their training!
Kelley Jones, Head Girls Basketball Coach, Dixie Hollins High School (Testimonial)
Any basketball player that is in need of individual training should definitely contact Coach Allison Dynes! She came out to work with my varsity team and did a fantastic job. The players loved the workout and immediately asked if she could come back for more sessions. Coach Alli had great rapport with the girls, and had them working on important fundamental skills that led into bigger sequences. I highly recommend Coach Alli for individual and team workouts! You won’t be disappointed.
Missy West, former Duke University Women's Basketball Player, professional player in Germany and college basketball coach at D3/D2 levels. (Testimonial)
If you're looking for someone who is going to connect with you but also push you to become your best on an individual level, Allison is the coach for you. Her purpose, energy, and obsession with developing fundamental skills is what is lacking in our youth today. With her help, she will assist in developing these skills that will push you beyond your competition.
Carly Kehn, Assistant Director of Basketball Operations at University of Houston (Testimonial)
I have had the pleasure of working with Allison at the Duke Basketball Camp and have come to know her as a coach and a person. Her work ethic and dedication to helping youth grow on and off the court is parallel to none. She is motivating, inspiring, and uses her positive energy to help others achieve their goals. With a high moral compass and a great desire to impact young athletes there is no denying the many successes to come.
Izabell Skoogh, Sophomore Basketball Player at Saint Leo University from Sweden (Testimonial)
Coach Dynes is a very organized and motivating coach. Furthermore, she coaches with passion. The passion is shown by how much knowledge she possesses about the game. This passion makes coach Dynes a very positive person and the 1-1 sessions I had with coach during my freshmen season were inspiring and with her eyes for details, she helped me improve moves I needed in order to improve myself on the court.
Carla Hubert, Middle School Language Arts Instructor (Moville, IA) (Testimonial)
Alli creates a positive learning atmosphere that allows players to develop the fundamentals and mindset necessary to advance to the next level. As a parent of one of her former players, I appreciate her rapport with her players and admire her knowledge of the game. Alli inspired my daugher, now a college basketball player, and her team to improve both individually as players and as teammates. She not only has a love for the game but also the ability to teach and motivate young players.
Brandon Hayes, former student and WIU Men's Club Basketball Player (Testimonial)
Coach Dynes was one of the most inspirational coaches I've ever had the pleasure of playing for. It wasn't the fact that I am a man and she is a woman, but rather the way she was able to organize, lead and inspire a group of men to play for a common goal. Her tenacity as a player and coach was only overshadowed by her love for the game. Forever my coach but also be a friend for life.
Halle Still, former Sioux City CHAOS player, current freshman pitcher for Johnson County Community College Softball (Testimonial)
Coach Alli is such an inspiring coach that always gave me motivation to be better not only as a basketball player but as a person as well. She always pushed us to be better and play at the next level. I'd do anything to go back and play for her again!
Vince Alexander, Head Men's Basketball Coach, Saint Leo University (Testimonial)
Allison is a very relentless and tireless teacher. Her enthusiasm and desire to see young people grow through the game of basketball is contagious!
