More About Coach Geremy
I am currently the Head Varsity and JV Coach at Pace Brantley Prep School of Longwood, FL. I have been Coaching at Pace Brantley Prep School for four seasons. My basketball business I have is called "Team McCray Basketball Services LLC". The basketball services include AAU basketball teams, Camps, Clinics, one on one training sessions, and group trainings sessions. I have been coaching basketball for about fifteen years and training athletes for about eight years.
I have played organize basketball Middle School, High School, and Armed Forces. I played on the All Marine Corp Basketball Team for three (3) seasons. I played in California and Japan.
My session plan goes depending on the athlete skill level. My first session is a player evaluation and I always start off with the basics of basketball to determine if the client is at a beginner, immediate, advanced, and or elite level. For example, I have had a sixteen year player who is pretty good but did not know how to do a layup properly. At the age of sixteen you should be able to do a layup properly. I used this example because it happen to me. I trained a player who was pretty good and he got cut from his basketball team because he could not do a layup properly. that is the reason why it is very important to understand and be able to demonstrate the basics of basketball. I usually start of with stationary ball handling drills such as pound dribbling, cone dribbling, stop and go dribbling, and change of direction dribbling drills. When I teach how to do a layup, I focus more on technique. I will teach them to how to do a layup properly. Make sure my client is stepping with the correct foot when he\she go for a layup, make sure my client take two steps when going for a layup. When my client is doing a layup correctly I will teach he\she to do a over the top layup, underhand layup, and reverse layup. When we work on footwork I will use the ladder to do a variety different amount of footwork drills, and hurdles. My shooting drills at the I focus more on form and technique. The most important thing before you shoot the ball is to make sure your form and technique is correct. It is better learn the basics at the beginner level so the client does not develop any bad habits. Defense is my favorite part of the game. I enjoy teaching defense with a passion. I work on the basics stand and your footwork and make sure your footwork is correct. After the evaluation is done I will discuss with the client on what level he\she is at. I will go over a tentative training plan on what I think we should work on to make he\she a better basketball player.

Merline (CoachUp client)
Coach Geremy is amazing! He is patient, knowledgeable and flexible. He takes his time to explain the importance of each drill as well as provides powerful encouragement. After our first session with Coach Geremy my daughter said “ I was able to keep going because of his encouraging words, I like him.” We are excited to continue working with him! Book your session, you won’t be disappointed!
Chandra (CoachUp client)
Coach Geremy is great, my son just started working with him 1-1 and enjoying his lessons so much. He does a great job in evaluating what is needed, and working on developing those areas. Looking forward to working with Coach Geremy and have my son improve his basketball skills.
Lindsey (CoachUp client)
Coach McCray is great with my kiddo! He really took the time to assess his skills so that he can help where he needs it most! He is very encouraging and positive.
Joseph (CoachUp client)
Coach Geremy is extremely knowledgeable of the game and he has unlimited patience of kids with varying ages and skill levels. Whether it's weekly conditioning and developing skill or running plays at practice and then games at the Y, he is making use of every second he has with his students. Most importantly, he maintains a great attitude and always uses positive reinforcement with the kids instead of a hard-line, negative approach. Best coach you will find in Central Florida!
Romy (CoachUp client)
Coach Geremy was a fantastic coach with a big heart! He went out of his way to meet me, brought all his equipment including cones, popup defenders, a heavy ball, and specialty goggles that block your lower vision. We did some drills, some stretching, and then quite a lot of fundamentals. He teaches basketball to kids and also referees both kid and adult games.
I really enjoyed our training and will 100% be hitting him up for more lessons when I'm back in town! Highly recommended. A++!

Coach Geremy is great, encourages and completely focuses himself to find areas that need improvements. Always willing to make arrangements based on your schedule no matter the time. My son is loving it. It’s not just a one on one but he also involves the kids in a group setting which is great for them to practice on a real game. Thank you coach!
D'Shay (CoachUp client)
Coach Geremy M. is amazing! He trains my little sister and we have seen soooo much improvement in her ball handling, shooting, defense and playmaking! I wish we would've found out about Coach Up sooner, but I am very happy that she now has Coach Geremy to help her improve. What I love most about the sessions is that after the session he follows up with you on what they worked on during the session, where he would like to improve and what we can do at home as well. Also, he hosts group sessions as well which are a great way to analyze where improvement is needed and learning how to use your skills while playing with a team. I will definitely be scheduling more sessions with Coach Geremy for my sister and I thank him for using his knowledge and experience to help young athletes improve their knowlege/skills in basketball.
Bridget (CoachUp client)
I think he did a great job evaluating my son. we will definitely continue with him.

My son left there and said I love that coach I can't wait to go back! Coach Geremy is extremely knowledgeable about the game and he is wonderful with kids. If you are considering a basketball coach I highly recommend coach Geremy! Book it. You will not be disappointed!

Coach Geremy is awesome! My 15 year old son was lacking confidence and needed some help with his jump shots. Coach Geremy has improved my son’s confidence and continues to encourage him with positive reviews and a calm demeanor.

We are so happy we found Coach McCray. My son has been looking for someone to tailor training to his specific needs, and Coach McCray did just that. He’s knowledgeable, professional, thorough, totally engaged, very responsive, and creates drills that are challenging yet fundamental to my son’s style of play. Thank you, Coach McCray!
Felicia (CoachUp client)
My niece is going to the 7th grade and is trying out for the girls basketball team in Texas. She has been playing basketball for the last 3 years. Every year in June she visits me from Texas here in Florida. I wanted to find a camp or a coach that could help me keep my niece focused. On the internet I came across CoachUp and found Coach Geremy....he is awesome. His coaching methods and the way he worked so well with my niece to get her conditioned and better prepared as a basketball player was exactly what she needed to make sure she stays focused and on top of her game. Thank you Coach Geremy for all your help in getting my niece ready, boosting her confidence even more as an athlete, and giving her more skills and drills she can practice on her own as she heads back to Texas. I will definently keep you in mind when my niece visits me again next summer.
Ken (CoachUp client)
My son finished his first workout/evaluation with Coach Geremy this morning. My son and I got in the car. It was obvious that he had worked hard. We sat quietly for a minute and he turns to me and says "That was great! I really like Coach Geremy!" That said it all to me and we will be working with Coach Geremy throughout the summer to get my son ready for the school season.
Coach is an excellent motivator. He effectively employs the "praise, correct, praise" method of teaching. One of the things that Coach Geremy does that I really appreciate is to explain why a drill is important and how it applies during a game. It is not just running drills for the sake of running drills. There is a goal with each drill and a lesson.
I sincerely believe that my son's skills are going to improve more in the next 3 months than they have in the last 3 years thanks to Coach Geremy's desire to teach, his patience and his eye for detail.
Bob (CoachUp client)
My son just completed his 7th practice with Coach Geremy and we highly recommend. Coach Geremy is incredibly generous with this time and always shows up for lessons fully prepared with an action plan specifically designed for my son. He has a great personality, patient listener and knows how to effectively communicate and motivate my teenager without criticizing. Coach has an impressive understanding of the fundamentals, mechanics, and how the game is played at different levels. We highly recommend coach for both beginners and those, like my son, with several years of basketball looking to improve their skills.
Jurel (CoachUp client)
Observant, patient and understanding
Yana (CoachUp client)
We were really happy with the session that we had with Coach McCray. He communicated effectively with my son and after evaluation Coach was able to come up with a plan on building necessary skills. I would definitely recommend him.

Donna (CoachUp client)
Coach Geremy is working out really well for my son. He is a good technical coach, picking up on small things that make a big difference to improve his form, working on "what if" scenarios and shooting skills. He provided a conditioning routine for home to help improve endurance and stamina. My son really likes his coaching style with lots of positive feedback and discussion. I would definitely recommend him as coach.
Michael (CoachUp client)
Geremy was awesome. Charles had a great work out with him. He felt like he was very thorough and knew what points to help him with. He even follow up with detailed instructions as to what Charles should work on independently. Can’t wait to meet with him again!!!
Ed (CoachUp client)
Coach Geremy was awesome!! I brought my son in tonight for the first evaluation session, and things could not have gone better. Within just a few minutes, Coach was able see easy-to-modify tweaks in my son's shot, that gave instant results. Coach Geremy has a calm demeanor, very knowledgeable about the sport he is teaching, and seems to have a never-ending supply of motivational "high fives" to keep you going.
The first session was the evaluation where he sees where you are at, makes small adjustments where necessary, and has some drills for you to go over. Everything seemed perfectly balanced to give him the information he needed in order to decide a gameplan for future sessions. We liked that about him. He didnt come with a mentality of "You are going to do these set of drills because thats all I know how to teach". Instead it was "Let's do these drills so I can better understand how to tailor my coaching for you in the future." To me, that is the sign of a great coach, because they are genuinly interested in your growth in the sport.
All in all, we were thoroughly impressed with Coach Geremy, and are loking forward to many sessions to come.
Jonathan (CoachUp client)
Coach Geremy was great for my son, who is 11 and a beginner. He gave my son confidence that he had the skills to get better and started with some fundamentals to work on in a very short time. We are excited to participate in future sessions.

Upon meeting Coach Geremy he was polite and professional. Immediately started interacting with my child and began to build the relationship. His understanding of the age group showed throughout the session. Coach Geremy has a onslaught of cone drills that proved to be challenging and yet age appropriate. His encouraging and calm demeanor kept my child engaged and ready to perform. My son looks forward to working with Coach Geremy again. 5 stars!!!
