More About Coach Dale

Throughout the basketball season I consult with teams and professionals player to either help prepare them for the upcoming NBA draft, pre season preparation or skill building. Over the years I have worked for a local player developmental companies in the past, where I trained athletes of all ages and genders on all aspects of the game. At times I assist the coaching staff at Northwestern High School in Hyattsville, MD on different aspects of the game and relaying information to the players as needed. I have also coached middle school boys and girls in the Washington DC Metro area for several years. While at Community Public Charter School in DC, my elementary girls won the charter league championship in 2004. I also assist youth recreational team's throughout the year.

I played at Woodland Hills High School in Pittsburgh, PA from 1992-1994 where I received several MVP awards along with all tournament teams. My senior year I was selected to play in the Kenny Durette all star game where I scored 25 points against the top talent in Pennsylvania.

After high school, I attended CCAC 1995-1996 where I continued to develop my game and eventually I was able to workout for the Indiana Pacers of the NBA. I was not picked up by the team but I learned a lot from the experience.

Clients can expect to be pushed to reach their full potential. Each session will start with warming up and stretching. We will then transition into ten ball handling drills I focus on each session. Handling the ball may be one of the most important areas. The third aspect we will work on is the focus of the day, for example, step backs, euro steps, creating space, one dribble shot, passing off the dribble, defense of slides etc. In conclusion, each session we will finish with shooting from various spots on the floor. After each session I will reiterate the importance of practicing what we just worked on and areas of improvement.
Due to the covid pandemic, many gyms are closed which makes it is difficult to find space. If you have a facility to use near you, I am will to travel to your facility if the distance is within reason.

Coach Dale is an awesome coach! He listened to my concerns with my son, and he picked up on his weaknesses. The workout started right in on drills that would improve my son's skill sets, and I saw an improvement day one!!! We plan to continue with Coach Dale!

I am a junior forward at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio. I have worked with coach D for the past two summers. Because I am a under sized big man, he helped me add more guard skills to my game. My shooting range and ball handling has increased along with my confidence. Already this season I have been names to player of the week twice. I also average a double double at 15 points 10 rebounds per game. Coach D has helped my game tremendously and I would refer him to anyone looking to grow as a player.
HI I'm Ryan Tillery, a senior point guard at Northwestern High in Hyattsville Md. I've been working with coach Dale for two years and my game has grown tremendously. My understanding of the game has matured along with my physical capabilities. I am now the leading scorer, and assist guy on my team. I would refer coach to anyone who wants to develop their game and reach their full potential.
