Structurally, the one hour session consists of breaking down 4 major fundamentals in 15min increments (ball-handling, layups, shooting and passing):
15min - Ball-Handling
15min - Ball-Handling & Finishing
15min - Ball-Handling & Passing
15min - Shooting or a combination of all (BH, Passing, Finishing)

This includes some variation of game like looks where I will shadow guard (shadow box) to make them react/choose carefully based on my defense.

My 4 year old granddaughter was having confidence issues at her group training at a different place, because she wasn't comfortable and was completely lost of what was going on in the court, as she has never touched a basketball before. Since her first private class with Coach Brown, she felt very comfortable and for the first time, she enjoyed learning playing. She didn't know how to dribble nor pass the ball and after the first class, she had great improvements and is now excited to go to Coach Brown sessions every time and also feeling more confident at her group classes she attends . She loves Coach Brown and we totally recommend him for your toddlers as well.

Coach Brown has been amazing with my 12 year old daughter who is just getting started with the game of basketball. He knows how to work with kids and connect with them. She is always eager to practice the drills that she has learned so she can show up better at the next session. Thanks, Coach!

Coach Carlon is awesome, best trainer my daughter has worked with. She looks forward to every training session.

Coach Brown is awesome! Just three trainings in and our son's confidence and game has improved. We will be continuing with trainings as it's making a significant difference in his performance, and my son loves it! Coach knows just what skills our son needs work on and he makes it fun at the same time! Thank you Coach Brown!

Coach Brown is awesome. My son loved training with him.

I’m a 14 year old basketball player who plays in London and I don’t think I’ve ever had a coach as influential and helpful as Coach Carlon. Coach Carlon pushed me hard but also constantly gave me small advice while carrying out these drills, we worked on my footwork, my defensive stance, my midrange shooting all the way to playing him 1 on 1( where I lost 4-1). I really enjoyed working out with him and I’ll definitely be back.

Coach Brown was fantastic. We were travelling from Australia for a week and saw Coach Brown had the best reviews so we made the trek out to Peoria.
He immediately worked on the areas my son needed to and gave positive feedback while constantly pushing him. We’ve been to dozens of one on one sessions with different coaches, but my son and I both said after that Coach Brown was the best Coach we’d been to. Highly recommended!

Coach Brown has been working with my son for the past month helping him develop fundamental skills to play basketball. He has been very effective and has had a positive impact on my son’s capabilities and mindset. We continue to work with Coach Brown, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a coach for their child. Thank you!

Would highly recommend Coach Brown.

Today was our first session with Coach Brown! My 11 year old son, Jaymes, already learned a ton! He is so excited to keep going back to learn more, and my husband and I are also both so grateful we found Coach Brown!! Our son hasn’t played basketball in years, so having someone who can so easily recognize his areas of weakness and strengths and really facilitate improvement in just one session is so impressive! Coach Brown is kind, helpful, patient, talented, and very professional! I’m so excited to watch our son grow as a basketball player with the help of Coach Brown! Thank you so much, Coach!!

For the past six months, I've been lucky enough to see Coach Carlon in action, and I'm seriously impressed. This guy brings a whole new vibe to coaching, especially with how he's helped my son, Jake. Here's the lowdown on why Coach Carlon rocks:

First off, Coach Carlon is all about the good vibes. Seriously, his positivity is off the charts. But what's even cooler is that he treats each player like an individual superstar. No cookie-cutter advice here – he knows exactly what each player needs to step up their game.

My jaw dropped when I saw what he did for Jake. In just two months, Coach Carlon helped Jake fine-tune his shooting form. And let me tell you, the change was epic. Jake's not just hitting shots better; he's walking taller and feeling more confident overall. It's like Coach Carlon has some kind of magic touch.

But here's the genius part: Coach Carlon doesn't just hand out compliments like candy. He makes players like Jake earn that praise. And you know what? It works like a charm. Watching Jake work hard for that recognition has been inspiring. Coach Carlon knows how to light a fire under these players in the best way possible.

Here's the kicker – Coach Carlon mixes things up with training. He gets players together who are on the same level, and they play all kinds of drills and minigames and like it's a real game situations. It's like practice with a side of pressure, and it's awesome. This kind of training hones their skills and teaches them to think on their feet.

As a parent, I've got major respect for what Coach Carlon has done for Jake. It's not just about basketball; it's about life skills too. His coaching style has boosted Jake's confidence and attitude both on and off the court. I can't thank Coach Carlon enough for that.

Bottom line: Coach Carlon is a basketball guru who's tailored his coaching, praise that's truly earned, and game-like trainings are a game-changer. My son's growth is proof that Coach Carlon is the real deal.

Great first session, coach Brown was friendly and ready to go. After a quick assessment it was right to work. Already saw improvement and areas to improve. We received homework and look forward to the next.

My son Alex had a great first session, the feedback Coach Brown provided was detailed and specific to my son’s goals of improvement. Alex is looking forward to his next training session.

Our son has been training with Carlon now several weeks at least twice a week, and it has been a great experience for our son. Our son has head a couple of trainers prior to Carlon, and I can say that Carlon’s training program is really great! He takes the time to ask questions to get to know what type of athlete your child is, what motivates them and their learning style prior to training. He has shown that this is not just small talk, he takes that information seriously and applies it when training our son. Not only does he provide personable training and motivation according to your child, he provides a detailed account of each session to the parents. So if you have to drop your athlete off that day , you can rest assured knowing you will still get a detailed explanation of what was taught , and how your athlete performed during training. He is honest in his approach and pushes a little harder and motivates our son to get better. He takes the time to show our son mistakes he has made and how he overcame them as an athlete.Our son respects his training style and looks forward to his training sessions. The training has shifted our son’s perspective and approach to the game, he is constantly working to get better so that he can do well not only during games(rec ball) but during training sessions as well.
My husband knows that, I ( mom) am not an easy sell, and impressed that I am liking this training for our son. He also agrees that training with Carlon has been great for our son’s basketball growth and development thus far!

Coach Brown is the best! In just two months our son has grown and developed so much both on and off the court. I don’t think we could have found a better coach for our son. He is patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and works so well with him. His communication with us is also excellent. He gives verbal and written feedback with each session. He is a great coach and more importantly a great person. Our son loves him. We love him. We are so appreciative for all that he has done and look forward to many, many more coaching sessions with him.

Coach Brown is amazing! He demonstrates a great command of the game but also understands the kids from a personal level. He has connected with my son keeping him humble, but pushing him to be better. Much respect for his approach. Not all coaches demonstrate that type of poise and respect.

Coach Brown has trained both my high school and middle school boys for the last 6 months. We have also taken advantage of his elementary camps for our twin boy and girl. They love all his programs. We are no strangers to trainers and lessons and have had our fair share of a variety of experiences. From coaches who just go thru the motions to coaches to take advantage of your time and money. We have seen it all. We’ve never had such a genuine, skilled trainer as we have found in Coach Brown. He’s an excellent communicator, exceptional athlete, and an intelligent and experienced educator. The attention to detail and follow thru is incomparable. We’d like to consider ourselves experienced sports parents watching our daughter play ball all thru high school. Hands down, Brown is the BEST! Both of my boys credit their growth and development over the last 6 months to Coach Brown and as parents we credit him with a better understanding of the process of both club and school ball and how to get the most out of the journey. Brown for sure has elevated all of our basketball lives.

Coach Brown is great with all levels

I highly recommend Coach Brown if you are seeking a positive, encouraging, and knowledgeable coach. I found Coach Brown as I was looking for a coach to help take my son’s basketball game to the next level. I was looking to find a coach who would be able to teach my son some advance basketball concepts and also improve on some of the basics. Coach Brown exceeded my expectations as he was able to accomplish both in a short period of time. Although my son is still learning from the sessions with Coach Brown, I have already seen the progress. My son has displayed more confidence in his overall basketball game. One of things that I like the most about Coach Brown is his ability to teach. His positive reinforcement coaching style has been great for my son. My son and I look forward to continuing the coaching sessions with Coach Brown as my son is enjoying them and they providing a positive impact on his growth.

Coach Brown's professionalism and keen evaluation is why I felt confident that my son would receive sufficient training to take him to the next level!

Our 12 year old daughter started playing basketball about a year ago and fell in love. I wanted a coach to help her learn the fundamentals and the game the right way, with correct form.

I sent an inquiry to Coach Brown and he immediately responded with questions aimed at learning more about our athlete, what she wanted to accomplish, etc. I booked a session for the next week. Coach arrived on time and put my daughter at ease right away. He didn’t put her on the spot about basketball, but instead asked about school, pets, family, etc. It helped pull her out of her shell. Practice was great, very positive and insightful feedback in the moment.

Almost immediately after the session, Coach sent extremely thorough notes and homework. My daughter was super excited and knocked it all out in one day. She now has drills that she can work on at home, custom for her needs. Love that!

First game after the practice with Coach Brown and already seeing a huge leap in ball handling and layups. We’ve already booked three more sessions!

I highly recommend Coach Brown for anyone looking to help improve their young athlete’s confidence and basketball skills.

Coach Brown was very positive and provided my son great detail on the moves that he was teaching. My son had a blast, made improvements and will be back for more. Thank you

Thank you Coach for all your guidance in the last year! I know G would not be at this skill level if it wasn’t for your exceptional training, helpful advice, and support! We truly appreciate you!

Coach Carlon give an excellent feedback when it comes to your immediate goals for your basketball player. We hope to continue our journey with his support.

We are so impressed after Coach Brown's first training session with our son. His communication, professionalism and true care and concern for what we were hoping for in addition to what our son needed was much appreciated. We watched our son use several of the "tools" he learned from Coach Brown after one session in his very next game which was absolutely awesome! Coach Brown brings experience and has the education to teach both the physical and mental training for success. We look forward to our next session!

Our son loves training with a Coach Brown. He is definitely growing and learning great skills. Coach Brown has a wonderful way with kids and is such a valuable resource!

We booked a training session while on spring break to keep the boys skills active. We had an excellent 1st training session and decided to book two more for the same week! It was great for the boys and great for us as parents to learn some key points we don't normally get a chance to hear. I would recommend Coach Brown to anyone. Thanks coach and wishing you all the best. Hope to see you again next time we are in Phoenix!

My Son said he absolutely loves Coach Brown Cannot wait to do it again

Coach Brown was really amazing. Honestly EXACTLY what our son needs. He walked away from our first session with a great attitude and really excited to continue. Coach is positive, incredibly intelligent- at basketball and with kids, knows how to bring out the best in skill and attitude. We are very impressed as parents. We all want the best for our kids and Coach Brown is it!

First session was a hit! Looking forward to continuing on as my son learned so much in just a short time!

(no details provided)

We highly recommend Coach Brown. We have seen major growth since working with him in every area of the game. He meets the kids where they are at and builds them up from there. He’s organized, professional, talented, and has a gift working with kids. Highly highly recommend Coach Brown.

Coach Carlton is great with my 14 year old daughter. She has fun and she's getting a wealth of knowledge. I can tell from speaking to him and to my daughter that coach Carlton not only knows how to teach the game, but that he also has a great handle on how to teach and motivate young people. My daughter and I are very pleased with him.

great help, patient, and very fun to work with.

Such an awesome experience! Coach Carlon did a fantastic job keeping our son engaged and encouraged. 100% worth it from the first session, we can't wait to continue with more!

Coach Brown is incredible! My 12yo son developed a sudden love for the game and needs work on fundamentals and lots of other skills too. Coach works with our son through his frustrations, and still keeps the lessons engaging and fun! Coach effortlessly applies life skills to the game too, which have really resonated with our son. After just a few lessons, our son was invited to play on a team! The world needs more coaches like him, his guidance has made a remarkable impact on our son! We look forward to working with Coach Brown as our son works his way up through the game.

Coach Carlon is a fantastic coach & incredibly nice guy! From the very first session we saw the value in training one on one with an experienced coach. Coach Carlon continues to improve our sons basketball skills and confidence.

My sons confidence is through the roof. Like any professional coach school and attitude also play a part in his instruction. Our family is going to value the long term mentorship he offers in this sport for my boys . Thanks coach

I was nothing but impressed with Coach Brown. He did an amazing job training my son yesterday. It was our first training session with him and my first impression was that I thought he had a good way of communicating and demonstrating skills which is very important to me. He was very respectful and kind and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great basketball coach! I will definitely be booking more sessions for sure!

Coach Carlon is amazing! He sees right away the strengths and weaknesses of a player and knows exactly how push and encourage my son to be better physically and mentally.
His drills focus on real game scenarios.
And he works on even the very small details that make all the difference.
Overall Coach Carlon helps with confidence - shooting (everywhere) dribbling, finishing (with/without contact) & passing.

We would recommend Coach Carlon to everyone!

Overall our experience has been outstanding. Coach Brown is personable, has deep knowledge of the game and communicates well with teenagers. After only a view training sessions, he’s made an impact on both my son’s game and his way of thinking. Highly recommend his training to anyone willing to put in the effort.

What I love about Coach Brown is the fact that he adds that mental health component in his training. Giving guys confidence and belief but meeting where they are at in life while finding ways to hold them accountable.
Coach Brown is really good at what he does. I trust him whole heartedly with his approach to the game and how he teaches.
Coach Brown is consistent in his approach. Meaning he won’t let you move on from a certain drill/concept until he’s absolutely sure you understand and can do it. That translates to repetition, in basketball and in life, the more reps you get the better you become. He’s also great at understanding what you want as an individual while respecting the coach you’re playing for at the moment, providing great balance where everyone can benefit from working with him.
Coach Brown helped me a lot transitioning from college to pro. Not just with basketball drills like P&R and finishing around the rim, but my mindset and having no expectations. Just focusing on putting in quality work.
Coach Brown is very helpful with different moves, techniques and positioning in the post. He cares about the details when it comes to footwork and making sure all of his guys can finish with both hands on either side of the basket.
Coach Brown is great with bigs, during our time together at GCU he was very helpful in slowing me down while also giving confidence that I have the tools to be successful against anyone. He believed in me from the very start and always encouraged positive behaviors like positive self-talk, self-awareness, and being present.
Coach Brown has helped me grow my game tremendously over the last two years. He’s honest and tells the truth about where you are at, while helping you’d develop the skills to get where you want to be.
Coach Brown pushes you to be your best by focusing on the details. This has allowed me to have one of my best seasons ever.
Coach Brown’s drills aware super game-like, he guards you a lot during the session, making it that much more challenging. I have noticed a big difference in my game readiness from working with him.
Coach Brown is the best because not only has he played the game at a high level, but he gives you confidence during the workout and is always encouraging.
