Madlegz instructs basketball players on how to be skilled, crafty and FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND! Training is based on footwork and balance in addition to mastering the basics. We do not coach effort. Players must be dedicated to the process of improving their skills.

Madlegz provides:
Coaches dedicated to each player's development in technique, skills, and IQ.
Customized training sessions to fit the needs of each player.
Technical skills and concepts that translate in the game.
Ball handling, shooting, defensive techniques and reading the game.
An excellent value in an unmatched basketball atmosphere.

As the kids get warm up, we will stretch and get a quick drink. We then go right into foot work and spend about 15-20 minutes working on quickness and acceleration. Working on your footwork is a vital part in developing a good basketball player. As we get done with footwork, we go right into ball handling. Ball handling is very important, whoever controls the ball controls the game.

Coach Heywood is a great coach who can tell is very knowledgeable about the game his workouts are hard work and are helping me get better

Coach Jameel is obviously a skilled trainer. We were in town for a couple of days only ( travelling from Europe) and booked 3 sessions with coach. Our son felt comfortable with both coaches right away and liked the practices. After the first session he was already looking forward to the next one.

Coach Jameel has an eye for the detail and can pinpoint the shortcomings and addresses them in a clear way, though never forgetting to also provide some positive feedback. He is passionate about the game and expects that from the participants to. He gets the kids to hustle and work hard. The detail put in the different exercises (position of the feet, the hands, the whole body) is eye opening and shows that he is very knowledgeable about the game.

Coaches come prepared, are on time and have good tools to assist in the practices. The help of coach Jordan was very valuable. After practice coach Jameel makes time to reflect with the parents. When looking for a trainer to get the game to a next level, look no further. Coach Jameel can do this. We will gladly work with him in the future.

I’ve been working with Coach Jameel for a bit now and I’m proud to say I’ve never felt more comfortable on the court with the drills, and insights I’ve picked up from our sessions. Jameel is very detailed oriented, and will analyze and dissect every part of your game. During the training sessions it’s obvious that he’s passionate in helping others to get better. He’s encouraging but will tell you what you’d need to hear to push you to the next level. No matter your skill level or age, Jameel is the best in the business.

Coach Jameel is very knowledgeable about the game of basketball. You can tell he has spent time working with kids and his ability to connect with different skill sets comes through in his coaching. He was able to show our daughter different techniques in his program that she had not experienced to this point playing basketball. We strongly recommend Coach Jameel and his expertise to other players and we look forward to having our daughter work with him in the future to support her skill development in high school basketball.

Coach Jameel and Coach Jordan did an amazing job during Dexter's first session. He had a fantastic time and is already looking forward to more coaching. We're thrilled with their positive impact and dedication!

We are my son are from New Brunswick, Canada, and decided to spend time in Florida. We found Coach Jameel Heywood on Coach Up. Coach Heywood has proved himself to be incredibly knowledgeable about the game of basketball. His insights, techniques, and strategies were top-notch, and he had a knack for tailoring his instruction to meet the specific needs of each player.
Our experience with Coach Jameel Heywood was nothing short of exceptional. He not only helped my son improve his basketball skills but also instilled important life lessons and values. Coach Heywood's dedication, approachability, and genuine concern for his students make him a standout coach trainer. We left training feeling not only enriched in our basketball journey but also grateful for the opportunity to meet such a remarkable mentor. We wholeheartedly recommend Coach Jameel Heywood to anyone seeking to enhance their basketball skills and personal growth.
We plan to stay in contact with him and train when we come back to Florida.

I appreciate coaches techniques. He helped my daughter understand fundamentals and was tough but also caring. I would highly recommend him to anyone beginners or advanced.

Coach Jameel needs 5 more stars to make him a 10 star coach!!!! Friendly, personable, professional, and knowledgeable and passionate! He is exemplary at his craft. He took my extremely timid/shy child and broke him out of his shell and I watched his confidence soar…. Highly recommend coach!

My son had a great first workout session with coach Jameel Haywood and excited to continue his development

I would definitely recommend booking a session

Coach Jameel was a great coach. He taught my son the basics of shoot and my son had a drastic improvement! Great job!

I would definitely recommend Coach Jameel. He was recommended to us because of his experience and knowledge. After our first practice, I can already see that Coach Jameel cares about helping his players improve their game.

Knowledgeable, and teaches the skills needed to be a step ahead.

Coach Jameel is an awsome coach. My son is new and a beginner and not very conditioned and the workout was a bit much for him but he was pushed to his max. I think that training with coach Jameel he will quickly improve and develop the skills he needs to excel at basketball. If you are looking to be great at basketball I highly recommend coach Jameel. Thank you again coach!

Jameel is an awesomeness leader and coach!!!!!!!

I like the intensity I like the fact that he makes them hustle on their own!! He’s not here to motivate them. He’s here to teach and coach. I had one session and I’m coming back for more.

First practice went get great! Our son came home excited about what he’s already learnt. We look forward to watching his development.

I started working with Jameel and I have l learned new techniques and I know that if I listen to him and I do what he recommends I will improve my performance. He treats everyone with respect. He is professional and very responsible. Very good option.

Coach Jameel does a great job of emphasizing aggressive play while maintaining control with great carryover from practice to games. He's consistent with his focus on details and pushes each player to be their best.

Always pushes me to my full potential! Little details matter and he invests not only in basketball but builds a relationship with us!

Great first session. Very knowledgeable of the game, and how to coach.

Coach Jameel is an excellent trainer /coach! He is thoroughly engaged in the training session!! Michael just finished his third session, and has already started to show improvement!! We will definitely be booking more training in the very near future!! Thanks Coach

Coach Jameel was great with my son. He evaluated my son’s needs and tailored the workout to address his weak areas. Great workout! Whenever we’re back in the Central FL area, we’ll definitely be utilizing his services.

Great first session. Excellent knowledge of the game.

We met Coach Jameel for the first time today he was very professional very upfront about what he likes to teach the children he came prepared he was on time and his equipment was on point and he really connected with my son I would definitely keep using him until my son goes off to college

Coach Jameel is a great coach...knowledgeable, great motivator, and very supportive. After (1) session I definitely felt I got my moneys worth as he had me doing drills and working on techniques I've never been subjected to. I like that he provided positive feedback including some highlights of our training. I look forward to working with him again.

It has been great working with Coach Jameel. He works the kids hard and is very encouraging. He really works through all aspects of basketball fitness and technique: shooting, ball handling, footwork, stamina, etc. I would definitely recommend Jameel to anyone looking to improve their game!

My husband and I were very impressed with Coach Jameel. He’s a God sent!! We’ve spent a long time searching for great coach who looks beyond just coaching a player the game and give life lessons.

My son started training with Coach Jameel today and he loves it! Jameel is very friendly and my son felt comfortable with him immediately. He is also very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about my son’s progress and growth. We are extremely pleased!!!

My son said he learned a lot already in the first session. He takes basketball very seriously and wants to do whatever it takes to get better. We have already booked a second session.
