Meeting the player where they are! Years of playing, coaching, training and building basketball businesses are a direct result of delivering for each child, pro, family, and team. Workouts have to challenge the player, but they also have to build their confidence. My job is to maximize their abilities, motivate them to leave the gym and work on their game because they know more about their strengths, weaknesses and how to improve in their time away from me!

Great first class, looking forward to more

Coach Christopher is top notch! Really gets my son motivated to try harder during his sessions! Would highly recommend him for personal basketball training for anyone looking to separate their child's training from the typical large group sessions where kids are not looked at individually enough. Will continue to use him through my sons basketball journey.

Coach Christopher left an excellent impression on me after observing his first workout session with my son. He is a true professional and knows how to help each individual to reach their targets.
Can’t think of a better training coach.

My son absolutely loved his training. His shooting improved so much in just a weeks time. Super positive experience. This is the best training you will get!

Christopher Spartz has changed the game of basketball for our family. He has taken Tyler’s game to the next level not just in terms of skills, but also mentality. He is a constant guide to Tyler both on and off the court. Christopher really focused on how to improve specific aspects of Tyler’s play, which has made him much more impactful on the court. Initially, we thought we were hiring someone to give Tyler a few shooting lessons. What we got was an incredible mentor that cares deeply about the athlete and the whole family.
Coach Spartz's passion, knowledge of the game and care of the the kids he works with is evident right when you enter the gym.The confidence he instilled in our son's game translated into him believing in himself. He put his best interests first and put him in a position to achieve. Coach Spartz always makes himself available and looks for opportunities to help our son challenge himself to improve his game through practice, skill work and game opportunities. The training, dedication and attention to individual strength and deficiencies have made the difference. His emphasis on individual feedback has been invaluable in helping our son develop and achieve his goal of making the Varsity basketball team. His encouragement and positivity while building skills is what every aspiring basketball player should experience. Coach Spartz is someone that is not only developing basketball players but fostering skills that will last a lifetime beyond the basketball court.
Between the on-court workouts and the time spent watching film, Coach Spartz has played an instrumental part in my development as a basketball player. The emphasis he puts on mental toughness can help build the confidence of any aspiring young athlete.
