Great session, Ethan enjoyed himself and appreciated the group drills and workout. As discussed he has a lot to learn given that he only just started playing a few weeks ago now.
Looking forward to seeing him improve through
hardwork, dedication and practice

Excellent trainer ! Coach James is not your ordinary trainer , he is fun and energetic and loves to teach. My son smiles the whole time. You can tell he has trained overseas . I highly recommend him if you want your child to improve and enjoy the workouts . Thank you , coach James
Efraim N. (Testimonial)
Coach James is doing a great job with my son Julian. We can definitely see growth and skill progression week to week. Julian has excelled in dribbling, ball handling, shooting and I.Q. We look forward to having Coach help Julian become the best he can be in the sport.
Julian N. (Testimonial)
James is a coach who makes sure you are on point and is on track at all times. My experience with him was excellent, he always does drills for everything you need, you name it. Shooting, passing, dribbling, defense, layups, and more. Once he sees your good spot, he will get you to grow in many other areas of basketball. For example, when I first got to James I wasn’t the best dribbler. Now that I have him, he helps me with dribbling and I am on point with it. James will help your child grow in any area that you need help or get better at. James is a wonderful coach, I would recommend him for your child all day.
Jenn A. (Testimonial)

It was clear and apparent from Day 1 training with coach James that his only agenda is to see all the kids improve . He can coach all ages . I highly recommend him and give him 5 stars. He truly does go the extra mile ! Thank you , coach James . We love you!

I experienced the importance of fundamentals when it comes to basketball. Also how important it is to build your stamina and get strong in every aspect whether its on offense or defense.
Johanne G. (Testimonial)
I like that it’s challenging and you’re able to see where you need to improve as a basketball player. James is very intentional on challenging you and pushing you to become better. Always encouraging, always refreshing, always impactful. Highly recommend.
Dobson J. (Testimonial)
Coach James is one of the few true youth basketball coaches Ive met. His experience overseas and working with different age groups gives him the upper hand for training the youth. Three (3) things stands out about him; responsibility, dedication and excellence. Its been a pleasure to finally find a coach like him. You will be pleased to work with him, if you are serious about getting better and becoming your best!
