Naomie (CoachUp client)

My son really enjoys working with coach Darrion. He teaches skills that are not taught during a team basketball practice. My son's school coach has made comments to him like "when did you learn to do that skill?" He has been able to play more positions since working with coach Darrion and shoot way more accurately.
Thanks coach Darrion!

Ken (CoachUp client)

Darrion made me feel good about my skills. He worked me hard and i want to run even harder next time. I learned moves to get more shots. He is very friendly to me the whole time and makes me want to do good. I can’t wait for next time. NM. 7th grade.

Looking forward to starting a regular training schedule with Coach Darrion. My son, who is lacking in confidence with his game at the moment, responded well to his techniques our first session- Darrion was a positive influence who knows how to teach the skills without 'coming down' on the kid. He listened to our concerns and made a point to notice what my son was good at. That evening I even got asked 'Tell me the good things that Coach Darrion said about me'. We look forward to our future sessions to see his confidence and skills continue to grow with Darrion's guidance.

Ben (CoachUp client)

Coach Darrion was great! He made instant progress with my son on his dribbling and he made it fun as well. He is very knowledgeable and ready to teach. We will definitely be booking more sessions!

Richard (CoachUp client)

My daughter looks forward to her training sessions! She is learning so much more with Coach Darrion than other trainers we have tried. She is definitely improving her game.

He was very knowledgeable and I feel like I gained a lot in the hour that we met. Would highly recommend!

Paul (CoachUp client)

Darrion has done a great job working with my 14 year old son. He's taught him things that many coaches haven't taken the time to do. He's great with communication and showing him how to do things. He keeps things positive and fun. I've been very impressed with what I've seen so far, and look forward to the sessions ahead and the continued growth of my son in basketball. Thanks Darrion.

Lori (CoachUp client)

Coach Darrion was a great coach. He was positive, motivating and caught things even my son's coach had missed. We saw improvements after the first session and will be signing up for more!

Aiden (CoachUp client)

Darrion is very good with footwork. He makes it fun, while also making you a better player. I really enjoy working with him and I feel I am learning a lot.

Mariah (CoachUp client)

In 1 hour we saw improvement in ours sons skill and his confidence!

Louise (CoachUp client)

Didn't really know what to expect from the first session but I have to say we were very pleased with the amount of help provided in just session. Coach Darrion was very pleasant, easy to communicate with and the court was private and no interruptions throughout the session. Looking forward to all the rest of the sessions

Tom (CoachUp client)

Coach Darrion is a great coach for my 15-yr old son. Having an individual coach focusing on individual position play is perfect for us, now that most team practices are focusing on team play. My son's points doubled and shooting percentage went to 80%+.

Terrence (CoachUp client)

Thank you for the Great 1st session!! We look forward to the next 5!!

Thank you Coach Darrion for helping the boys improve before their basketball season begins! You have helped them with their foot work, their dribbling skills, their shooting skills, and best of all their confidence. They have worked hard, and have had fun learning from you. They have really enjoyed working with you and hope to do more lessons in the future!

Twin Cities Boys Hoop Report (Testimonial)

o the varsity game and North top player Jaylin Dubose picks up 2 quick fouls and sits the last 14:38 of the half. Low scoring and even early. Thanks to a triplicate of 3s, 13-8 North at the 9:17 mark. Then FAIR goes to a 1-3-1 and North never did find an answer. A 14-2 run culimating with Darrion Scott converting a turnover into a layup puts FAIR up 22-15 at the 4:25 mark. That bucket would start a run of 10 straight points for Scott to end the half. A late North 3 would keep them within 30-24 at halftime. Scott comes out with the 1st 5 Falcons points of the second half for a total of 15 in a row. His 3 point play to end that personal spurt sends Dubose right back to the bench with his 3rd foul. 35-26 FAIR with 16:32 to play. Lee Gaines would score back to back buckets to cut the lead to 7 before a 9-0 FAIR run pushes the lead to 16. Dubose comes back in with 12:33 left just before John Warren ends the run off a double screen for a triple from the left corner. Dubose makes a difference with a great block hustling back after a turnover and North hustles to track down the loose ball. Out of a timeout, Dubose converts the effort into a 3. He follows up with a steal for a free throw and an assist to Corey Jones. Lead is cut to 10 and North switches from 2-3 to 3-2 zone and extends it to good effect. Jones with a putback with 5:35 to cut the lead to 46-39. That's a 9-2 North run. Interestingly enough Dubose comes out with 5:03 left with North down 9and didn't return (don't think he fouled out). Desmond Williams controls the paint down the stretch for FAIR with back to back layups and a pair of trips to the line (1-4 FTs though). FAIR wins 54-45. Post Game For North, post Corey Jones leads the way with 14 points. Lee Gaines 13 points. Jaylin Dubose held to 6 with the foul trouble. North was a very different team when he was on the floor. He showed a real burst with the ball that FAIR didn't have a match for. Add in the hustle and a full game from him would have been a difference. North is off until next Friday when they travel to St. Paul Johnson. For FAIR, Darrion Scott leads the way with 22 points on 9-24 shooting as his shot wasn't falling in the 2nd half. But he's still their difference maker. Desmond Williams very effective inside as he reached double figures with 12 or 13 points. A definite presence for the Falcons down lown. Akil England 15 points. The 1-3-1 for the Falcons was the difference in the game as it generated offense.
