Coach Smith was amazing with my son about making him detail his goals for the upcoming football season. He also had some great advice for outside of sports as well. Looking forward to our next session.

I really like his focus on not just fundamentals, but ways to implement them in a game. Great at talking with kids too.

Very detailed and direct with training my 8 year old son.

Our son really got a ton out of Coach Daryle's session! We will be back on an ongoing basis!

My 8th grade son had a great session with Coach Smith. Coach Smith does a superb job of engaging with the player, teaching skills, checking for understanding and practicing drills until they are executed correctly. In addition to coaching skill development, Coach Smith goes over and above to teach the player about mindset of practicing and game situations. We will absolutely continue to work with Coach Smith to help my son’s development to be the best player he can be.

My daughter just had her first session with Coach Daryle and is looking forward to more. He took the time to explain why she needed to do the things he was showing her to make her game better. Which fits her personality. He also made the session fun. I haven't seen her smile so much when having to work in a long time

Coach Daryle is helping my son (16yrs) to gain more confidence. He is always excited to go to a session and even more to come tell me what he learned!

Great session. Luke loved it. We will definitely be scheduling more.

We had a great first session. Coach Daryle worked with my 11 year old son and we will set up future sessions.

Daryle had an initial practice with my son. Daryle was quick to respond to my initial request for a session and got him in quickly. Jordan had a great session where Daryle quickly assessed his skill set and provided some great initial coaching for improvement on the first lesson.

Been to one session so far dec 5 20. Very professional, explains in details and is a tough coach which is what i like in a coach. My son loved the 1 on 1 teaching. Says he understands what he does wrong better. We are both looking forward to more training sessions. Will continue to use this coach. We appreciate your professional and knowledge.

Coach Daryle was great with my daughter and showed her a brand new avenue of training and she loved it! She told me she loved the work out even though it was a little hard, but it’s something she needs. She looks forward in working with Coach Daryle again.

I was very impressed with coach Daryle and his team. My Daughter is in the 4th grade and has never had a workout like this. And she was really excited about coming back. He really teaches the kids to believe in themselves all while pushing them to the edge in a positive way.

We had a great lesson with Coach Smith. He was very positive and fun for our child. He did a great job working on direct skills that would help on the court.

My son was very impressed with Coach Daryle's knowledge and his training techniques! Simply stated my boy enjoyed the physically demanding session, and is excited to continue working with Coach Daryle!

Coach Smith was great with my son! They worked on skills that he really needs to improve his game. We plan to continue so that he has the best chance at making his school's basketball team.

Coach Smith is a great trainer . The first training session that he held with my son he was able to assess his skill level ; strengths and weakness, which was pretty accurate. Nick had great feedback and felt the first training was helpful. He left the first training excited and look forward to the next training session. The second training session was intense and productive . I can already see improvement in areas needed. Nicks confidence has grown just in the last two sessions.

If you are looking for a trainer that's passionate about helping developing your kid- then Coach Smith is the right trainer for your child.

Coach Daryle is a top notch guy. Awesome coach with skills and the right qualities for working with kids of all ages.

When we first came onto the world of Select Basketball, I was worried my son Kris wasn't going to be able to handle this type of basketball and no it wasn't an easy road but Coach Daryle Smith told me it wasn't going to be easy but I just had to trust him and the skills he had and he would mold my son into a stronger player and he did just that. My son was very timid and in his shell when he started but with the training and mentoring from Coach Smith, Kris not only has turn into a great ball player but he is also a great young man. I've watched Coach Smith and he not only trains these boys but he also mentors them and guides them and help them become respectable young men. I'm very happy that I had the opportunity to have Coach Smith in my son's life. He's an amazing coach, trainer, and mentor.
After meeting with Coach Smith, he sat me down and planned out my goals and where I need to be. I was an underrated guard with not much confidence. After being a part of Coach Smith's National Championship team and improving my game with Coach every practice, I got on the radar with college coaches. He worked hard to try and get my name out and I had a ton of coaches contacting me weekly wanting me to come on visits. I decided to sign to a division II school named Mcmurry University. I'm not sure how I would have made it to where I am today without Coach Smith. He gave me the confidence and self discipline not only on the court but off the court. He teaches you life skills and took me under his wing. I am the man I am today because of Coach Smith and every second was worth it and I thank him for that!!
