More About Coach Duane

I have trained boys and girls of all ages from 6 year olds to professionals. I've been a head varsity coach for four years, three years at my current school. I've coached many years on the travel ball circuit. Most of my work as a coache has been skill development and I've doing that for the better part of 25 years.

All -CIF First Team, Best in the West First Team, All Pac-10 First team 1992. Served as Team Captain for three seasons at USC. Drafted in the second round by the Lakers(#36 overall) Played four years in the now defunct CBA and many years over seas in Venezuela, Greece and mostly Poland.

First we'll warm up with dynamic stretching to get the body warm and moving. Ball handling is the foundation to any players overall game so we always start there to get a lather going. From there we'll know what they need and we'll break down what it is they're trying work on. For example shooting could be what they're looking to improve. I will look at their mechanics and check for issues or flaws then we'll break down what needs to happen for them to get better at that skill.

Knowledgeable.

Great coach. Very knowledgeable and has a keen eye for areas of my game that I could improve. I’ve only had 2 sessions so far but can already notice myself getting better.

We only had one session so far, but my son is really encouraged by what he learned

Great coach I wish we would have started with him sooner

Coach Duane is a great coach. He focuses on developing a strong foundation with fundamental skills. I’ve seen a huge difference in my son’s skills and he looks forward to training with Coach Duane every week.

Duane is a good guy and a great coach. From beginning to end of his session he gets to work, and identifies the areas you need the most help on. He is very dedicated to make you a better player and doesnt waste your time. If you are serious about becoming a better player and are not afraid to work for it, Duane is your guy.

Coach Duane was excellent. He taught my son the necessary skills in a very abbreviated time frame, was very accommodating of our difficult schedule, and was very encouraging, nice and fun. Coach Duane really knows his stuff and greatly improved my son's basketball skills. I would strongly recommend Coach Duane to anyone who wants to up their game or even learn the basics. Thank you Coach Duane!!

Coach Duane was top notch. He arrived early gave clear and good instructions to my two sons. Coach Duane gave good and timely constructive coaching. He actually showed my sons what to do and was able to give visual and verbal feedback to correct mistakes. Coach Duane kept calm and did not yell when he needed to keep repeating some instructions. We will be setting up more sessions with Coach Duane Cooper. He has played college and professional ball. He knows how to coach and it shows that he cares and wants my sons to succeed.

Duane is an excellent coach knowledgeable and great w my son. He is the perfect trainer for anyone who is trying to improve their game

Coach Duane is a great coach that knows how to get the most out of a player. He has the experience and knowledge to know what it will take to get to the next level. My son has been playing basketball since he was five, and I know the difference between an ok coach and a good coach, Coach Duane is a amazing coach. He is the best! If you willing to work hard, he will take your game to the next level and beyond.

Training with Coop took my game to the next level, not only does he work on your skills and the physical but he works on the mental too. I'm known for my brash attitude and unshakeable confidence that came from training with Duane Cooper. He helped me believe in myself through repetition and just constantly letting me know I was good and that he believed in me. This is a guy that made it to the NBA the hard way, so I felt like if he believed in me and he made it through the tough route then I could do it too...I've played ball in 10 different countries and got MVP in every summer pro league in LA(Drew League, JBL,Venice Beach) and my training with Duane Cooper played a major part of every accomplishment on and off the court. He's a great trainer on and off the court. He's a great trainer and an even better mentor!
