My 8 year old son just did his first session with coach D and it was a great session!

Hey , I just had my first session with coach D here in New Jersey City. With my son Doug and nephew John. And my son like how coach D push him to the limit and nephew learned the fundamental of the triple threat. If you a parent here in New Jersey City and you need a experience Coach I highly recommend Coach Demario

My name is Mandy. My son is in 10th grade. Coach D trained him today and was great in communicating his strengths and weaknesses. I really liked the way Coach D explained to my son on how to interact with his school basketball coach and how he can contribute to the team.

Coach D was the absolute best. He facilitated my 14 year old son’s birthday party. He made the day so easy and fun for all of the boys. If you’re a mom planning a basketball birthday party, I promise you, you won’t find a more fun, engaged, awesome coach than Coach D. We highly recommend!!!!

Hey! Just had my first coach up session with Coach D. I'm in medical field and looking to improve my basketball for my women's recreational league. I had a great time learning the shooting position. I also learned BEEF went through some pivots and getting comfortable dribbling with my left hand. It was also nice to learn from a fellow southerner. Looking forward to my further sessions!

My son Just had my first session w Coach Demario in Nee Jersey. He was fantastic and my son loved his session. He learned so much from just the first session, we will definitely be booking more session. Thank you Coach D!

我儿子喜欢教练Demario。他的信心增强了,他非常期待下一次训练。

Очень полезная сессия для моего сына - как раз то, что ему не хватает в академии. Маркус научился правильно дышать, а так же работать над скоростью. Мы только что купили 10 дополнительных сессий с тренером Demario. Очень рекомендую!

Meeting Coach D today for our sons first session was a great experience. Not only did he meet all of our expectations, he also understood our sons personality and needs in the sport. Within minutes Andrew improved his shooting form. He also gave pointers with his fundamentals
Coach is very professional and worked efficiently with Andrew. We are looking forward to working with him again.

Ich bin Chris (der Vater von Clara, 11 Jahre alt). Clara hatte ihre erste Session bei Coach Demario. Coach D ist ein super Typ. Er geht richtig gut auf die Kids ein und setzt die Trainingsschwerpunkte mit ihnen gemeinsam um. Alles immer mit einem Lachen und einem guten Joke. Ich kann ihn nur empfehlen.

My name is Sophie and Im a software engineer here in Brooklyn. This was my first time using Coachup. I learned how to form shoot. I think Coach D was very encourging, had great assertiveness about my ability and I left feeling confident. Thanks Coach D

Great first session! Can’t wait for the second

Just had my first session with Coach D. We worked on both left and right hand floater, and his drills were super effective. I’m a student at NYC and I play intramural basketball. If you are a student looking to improve your game, definitely reach out to Coach D. He will definitely help you to get to the next level! This is what I like about Coach Up, they really help you to find the best coach.

I play rec league ball in Greenpoint. Just had my first session with Coach D. He taught me some sweet finishing moves that will help me elevate my game.

Coach Demario has improved my teenaged daughter’s game immensely and also built up her confidence. If you are lucky enough to be on his roster, you will receive his undivided attention. Working with Demario is money well spent.

I’m isaac and Ariella Dad - we just finished our first session with coach D! He was great! Patient with the kids …great tips and lessons!

My name is Kaia, I’m a senior in high school and I play small forward at Packer in Brooklyn. Great work with Coach D on footwork and moving without the ball: Haven’t gotten my handshake though.

Coach D was awesome! Worked on all the fundamentals, and we had a great time doing it!

My kid Mark had his first session, it went really nice and smooth. Can see the results right away. Looking forward to our more extensive training program.

My name is Jake and I am 31. I am a former basketball player who wants to get back into the game and work on my shooting and finishing at the rim. Coach Demario was an awesome coach and helped me make big strides. I highly recommend because he is a pro.

Great session, great job on fundamentals!!

Great first session. Looking forward to many more.

Very helpful, answered every question. My nephew learned a lot from one class. Will see coach again soon!

Great, initial training. My son is in the 11th grade & is planning on trying out for his hs team. He enjoyed today’s session & is looking forward to the future training sessions with Coach Demario Jones.

Coach Demario was great ! This was our first time and my son felt very comfortable around him , they worked on a few warm ups and lay ups. Will use him again for sure .

Great communication from the beginning to the end !

They worked on form shooting, face ups and ball handling. All things she needs to work on and is excited to do with Coach Demario.

Really excited to see her improvement with more sessions!!

It was such a great session! My 9th grader daughter learn a lot from the foundation to advanced skills like air cut, v cut, post, shooting and defense in right forms. It was such am amazing time! Thank you Coach D!

Great coach, patient with my beginner 13-year-old son, picked good fundamentals to work on — basic shooting form, layup, ball handling, crossover.

I just finished my workout with Coach D, and he did a great job with teaching me footwork in the post. I play in a recreational league and I look forward to working with him and continuing to improve my basketball skills. If you are someone in their 30s/40s, who is looking to improve your basketball skills, he is a great coach for you. He is a top tier coach who will help you elevate your game!

Coach D is a very good coach. My son went to practice for the first time and he really liked it. I hope he can continue attending his practices.

I played a lot in high school growing up and now I’m in my mid 30s. I needed to get my conditioning and my game back to play at high-level and coach D had me running up and down the court getting into real basketball shape working on form drills working on shooting while I’m tired and I look forward to working with him on more sessions. Moving forward to get me back into Basketball shape. Highly recommended if you need a professional to run you up and down the court and get you working on your game.

Great session! Learned a lot about post move and face up from the block.

I am a recreational adult and it is great to have someone who knows what he is doing as he is a pro . Great vibe also.

Strongly recommend for fellow adults who want to learn the sport of basketball .

We love Coach D!

Thank you!! Great session

Coach Demario is one of the best trainers out there. He focuses on the fundamentals. I like how he trains my son with the heavy ball when it comes to shooting, dribbling and footwork.

There are many basketball coaches in this region but none like Coach Demario. When my child started working with Coach, his confidence was lacking and he wasn’t even sure he wanted to play basketball anymore. After working with Coach for only two months, he is sure of his shot and is growing all around into a solid basketball player. Coach emphasizes fundamentals, and builds a bridge between old school and new school playing. I can’t wait to see what comes next in my kid’s development!

I am a player who came from the Dominican Republic and had basketball training with Coach D and the truth is that it was very good training, it tested my resistance and great medium-range distance exercise we did the ball handling and finishing site, and the truth is I hope to continue working with him and be able to achieve my goal, which is to play college basketball.
Coach D has been training my son for just a few short weeks so far and I'm already seeing improvements day by day. One of the best trainers out there hands down.
We love Coach D! He's been doing a great job teaching basketball and making the sessions fun as well.
