Facility being used was once the practice facility for the Boston Celtics. The main court is named after legendary Celtics coach Red Auerbach. Your child will have the opportunity to improve their skills on the same court that hall of famers Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parrish played on! In addition, I also have equipment such as jump ropes, agility ladders, cones, and the Doctor Dish Shooting Machine. The Dr. Dish allows athletes to take hundreds of shots in very little time.

Session Plan:
-Warm up
1 and 2 Hand Dribbling Drills

Stressing the use of proper mechanics and consistency

-Getting open:

Close Outs, Box Out Before Rebounding, Pick and Roll defense, Defending on and off the ball

Client Reviews

Very patience with my son. He tried to put effort to communicate and teach some new basketball skills. Such as dribbling off and shoot the baskets. Use different agility, moves and quick release for a shot. Nice techniques to help my son improving on his shot selection and moves. Thanks Brandon!

Coach Brandon is a great teacher. He takes time to access an athletes skill sets and then develops an effective practice plan to make the athlete better. He has high levels of enthusiasm and is passionate about improving players.
