More About Coach Jamal

I am currently coaching AAU 13u, I have been coaching for 2 years. Im also Currently an assistant coach at WestSide High School. I have been training for a year, all ages ranging from 5 years of age to 22 years of age. I do all my training out of two facilities WestSide High school and Bloomfield College along side Professional Basketball player Gage Daye who was a D2 All-American at Bloomfield college, and also has experience playing in the NBA D league. I have also helped run the Summer Vincent Robinson basketball camps at Bloomfield College, where we help young kids develop their skills, and sharpen their fundamentals of the game.

I played 4 years of High School Basketball at Newark Vocational High School which is now WestSide High School. I made First Team All State honors 3 out 4 years and scored 1500 points. I then received a full scholarship to play at Bloomfield College where I played 2 years but my career was cut short due to personal family matters. After that I decided pursue coaching and training, and give back to my community.

Client Reviews

My 13 yr. old daughter has had one session with coach Jamal. After the session and during the ride home my daughter had more confidence in herself than I have seen regarding the game of basketball. While I felt the session went really well. Ultimately, what really mattered was how my daughter felt. My daughter was nervous at the beginning but happy at the end. She definitely wants to work with Coach Jamal and that is a true testament to his ability to make her feel comfortable. Last, he was able to correct her shot in just one session. I will definitely follow up with more reviews as we book more sessions.

So far so good.

My son showed immediate improvement in the first hour!!

Coach Jamal Smith was able to identify, give recommendations for, and create drills for my son. An excellent teacher that I would recommend for anyone who wants to understand their game and how they can improve upon it.

Sam had an excellent session with Coach Jamal today. He is loving every minute of basketball!

Coach Jamal was great. He's very knowledgeable and able to coach the game in a way that's fun and my 12 year old daughter is able to understand. Great coach and my daughter's improving with each session.

My son had his first session today and came home excited about working with coach Jamal. We hope to see his skills develop.

My daughter first session went great. Coach Jamal provided intense game situation training. He was also patient and explained each drill or move to her thoroughly. She def looks forward to their next session.

Coach Jamal was great, My Son enjoy every minute and learn a lot new techniques in the first hour. I will be booking some more hours with Coach Jamal.
