Ive received many awards in my college career, to name a few.... Academic All-American, Who's Who, Honor student, among others. Teaching basketball is a real big part of my life, as I have coached from elementary to pro. Academics and discipline is a real big key to success. What I teach athletes to do is use basketball as a cornerstone to their life. My sessions will consist of fundamental drills, ball handling, shooting, defense, explosion drills, footwork and more. There is no replacing hard work and that is what we are going to do. Athletes, come ready to work.

Really nice guys and very good training!

My daughter is 14 and was looking to improve her shooting and ball handling. We met with Coach J today and from the time the session started until the last second, he was working her hard. It was very intense and exactly what she needed. My daughter loved every minute of it, and can't wait to use what she learned today on the court. Coach J has giving my daughter a confidence boost and tweaked some areas she needed help in. He is such a wonder person and amazing coach. I would highly recommend the Johnson Twins to anyone. Thank you for a great session!

Heading into 8th grade next year, our daughter wanted to gain an edge and win back her point guard position. After just one work out, she is eager and confident that she can do so. She was so proud of herself when she hit a few outer perimeter shots that she assured me earlier in the day that she couldn't make. The workout was intense and exciting. She already is looking forward to her next session.

Our first session with the Johnson Twins was amazing. They pushed my son to his limits and then beyond. He worked hard and loved his experience. We are already booking more sessions. Thank you, coaches!!!

I have 2 boys, 12 and 10 years old, and they absolutely LOVED their first session and can't wait to return. They did more in one hour than I could even believe. Quality instruction, very positive interaction, and true excitement for the game.

The Johnson Twins were amazing. My 10 year old daughter had her first session with them today and it was amazing! She was pumped and smiling ear to ear when we left. As a parent I knew I got my money was well spent and my child not only learned things that I will see her using in the game tomorrow but also learned things to practice daily! These drills will help her long term. Thank you coaches for a great session!

Great coach and this is my second time booking him. Will train with him again in the future

Coach Daniel simply awesome!! His attitude and expertise helped my son immensely. Very professional and personable. My son felt at ease working with him. Coach Daniel really helped with building confidence in my son. Coach Daniel is truly an asset to this program.
Thank you Coach!

Tate Had great training...Did things he hasn't done before.. Was a great 1st session. Tate feels this will be a success!

Got a great work out and was able to notice improvements after one session. Great coach pushes you hard.

I am very happy we chose Coach Daniel to coach our son. Coach Daniel engages at the right level and really connected with our son. Coach is very positive and makes each session hard and fun, both very important! We can already see our son's confidence and skill level grow even after just a few sessions. We definitely would recommend Coach Daniel to anyone looking to increase their basketball skills.

Coach Daniel has had a positive effect on my daughter's attitude toward basketball. He is very positive and works through her frustrations. He is always positive and he has improved her performance in basketball. He concentrates on specific weaknesses but also touches on all aspects of basketball. He has built her confidence to a new level. Thanks!

Coach j and coach Nate are responsible,hard working and really nice . I would recommend anyone who is interested in working with them.
Not just about sport.they also teaches me something beyond sports that is about how to live your life

Coach Daniel is very patient and skilled, he walks through every key necessary step with you to give you better practice! Definitely worth booking a session if you're really into basketball and are considering advancing yourself.

Coach Daniel was great. He was very good working with an 11 year old. Very positive and fun experience. Would highly recommend him for other kids looking to improve their basketball skills and have fun while learning.

Coach Daniel did a fantastic job with my son. He was very professional, encouraging and knowledgeable - - and most importantly he made the session fun. He led my son through a very comprehensive skills training/shooting skills session and my the end of the time I could already tell that my son was improving.

Coach Daniel worked with my 13 yr old and was excellent. After one visit she was practicing new drills and she was more confident. The session was great. He is very knowledgeable and his coaching skill are excellent. He worked with her on all areas of the game. My daughter left the session excited and reenergized about basketball.

Coach Daniel really showed me a lot of different ways to improve my game. I am looking forward to having more sessions with Coach Daniel!

Coach Daniel has the knowledge and experience to help you elevate you basketball game. His workouts are designed to make you a complete player both physically and mentally. He'll push you and teach you how to get better. Coach Daniel and his training technique will play a major role in my son's development as he transitions to high school basketball. If you are serious about basketball I strongly recommend Coach Daniel and staff as your trainer.

Good!!!!!

Coach Johnson definitely knows what he is talking about. I appreciated the fact that he took the time to analyze my daughter's game and came up with a plan of attack. I would recommend coach Johnson to anyone who wants to get there kid better at the most elite level. Thanks coach Johnson, it was great!! Very impressed!!

Coach Daniel does an excellent job. Pedro really enjoyed his session and is looking forward to working with him more and improving his skills and understanding of the game. You can tell that Daniel likes what he does and he does it well. Thank you.

My 13 year old son has his heart on making the “A” team rather than “B” and we turned the challenge over to Coach Dan. Pleasantly impressed with the communication prior to meeting, being punctual and his overall skill set with children I carefully watched as the 2 worked together. The 1st part of the lesson consisted of fundamental assessment of my then tailoring the basics in a manner that was very age appropriate.

I could see the smile on Jon’s face when Dan showed him how to “break away” and subsequently get a basket. Very gratifying and after our session we discussed a game plan for continued improvement and setting up more times to meet.

Based on my experience thus far, I would highly recommend Coach Dan to others looking to improve their game.

Dan is a very passionate about basketball, its apparent in his intensity. He has a keen sense in determining the methods necessary to improve his clients overall skill level. Great guy great coach, will recommend him to anybody.
I like Daniel, he gives it his all, he may not, be the fastest or jumps the highest, but you can count on his 100% effort, which is called the x-factor, in which a lot of players don't have. I'll pick a player like that any day, because there is no replacing effort.
