Client Reviews

Coach was very flexible with scheduling. Great communication.

Coach King has been more than what I expected. His patience and demeanor are professional; his ability to relate to my boys is refreshing; and his teaching ability is the best I have seen.

My boys thoroughly enjoy training with Coach King. After two weeks of sessions, I am beyond thrilled that we will continue to partner with Coach King to help my boys grow into football players that understand the game, play and practice the right way, and become responsible leaders with high character. I encourage all who can to sign-up with Coach King.

Thank you Coach for training my two young boys and helping them understand the true meaning of preparation, dedication, perseverance and compassion in football and in life.

My son really enjoyed his 1st session with Coach Don E. He was very knowledgeable and patient and my son Is looking forward to future training sessions

Coach King was great working with my son who is 9 years old.
Very thorough and helpful with showing techniques for the quarterback position. We look forward to training again with coach King,

We had a great session with coach King. He was patient and attentive. We will definitely schedule more.

My son liked the direction that he recieved from coach Don.

Coach was great. My son learned things he needs to work on and make him a better player. My son can’t wait to go to next training. I recommend him for all players looking to step up their game

Don E was great with my son. He is wanting to go to the next level and Don can help him get there. On top of his knowledge he was very personable with my son. We enjoyed our first experience and will schedule more.

He worked on a lot of foot work training, which is definitely fundamental as a rb and other positions as well.

Coach Don great coach. I got better every time I worked with him. Very professional and detailed.

Joe really enjoyed his first practice. Coach Don was positive, encouraging and we are excited to train more!

Now that we've had three practices, we can already see improvement. Coach Don is so motivating and positive and his talent -- is AWESOME! We will continue working with Coach Don throughout the summer and I know that by the time Joe starts football in the fall -- he will be a new kid!

We had a great second session too! Coach Don is super positive -- knows what he is doing and Joe is loving it. We are going to keep this going up until football season and the kids on his team won't know who this new awesome player is!

Our son's session with Coach Don was everything we had hoped for and more. Coach is extremely knowledgable about youth fitness training as well as football. He did a full fitness evaluation before starting any weight training which we found especially helpful. Our son is on the shy side and was pretty nervous about his first session training since it has been a few years since he played football. Coach Don put him at ease immediately. Now he can't stop talking about how excited he is to play football and to hopefully play quarterback for his school next year. We plan on booking sessions with Coach Don twice per week throughout the summer. We really can't say enough about how happy we are with coach Don and this first session. Looking forward to many more!

Hey coach King this is Tyler. I know it's late, but I had to fill out a form for senior night and I just wanted to let you know that I put you down for my most inspirational teacher, just wanted to say thank you for everything you did for me...
Happy Easter coach appreciate everything you've done to make me the player and person I am today..
The King Sports Football camp exposed my son to football coaches and player of all ages and cities. The camp is better the prevous camps he attended because it challenged him to improve his skills and to play at a higher level. Thank you.
Coach King has had a lasting effect to each of my three boys. He already has improved the skills of each one with just a few sessions of taking the time to help them out. I could not be happier with my decision of having Coach work with my sons. I was also very impressed upon meeting his family. My family and i couldn't be happier to be able to meet them and for him to work with us with his schedule.
Love the website great opportunity for youg men to see the other side of the game, all the work that it takes to get to the next level as love and support thats given GREAT JOB KSL
