The hour is broken down to see where your skill level is at in terms of fundamentals in ball handling, shooting, right and and left hand, coordination and strength. Based on this we make a plan on what we need to focus on and attack. The idea is we build a foundation and you are the project you are Rome

Client Reviews
Jesse (CoachUp client)
I couldn't recommend Coach Jermaine enough! Seriously a great coach that knows how to bring the best out in a player. Started the first session off going straight into fundamentals, so coach could best assess where I needed work on. Has a keen eye for detail and the ability to break things down in ways more understandable. If you want to take your game to the next level and work with someone who knows what it takes to get there, Coach Jermaine is the guy!
Tony (CoachUp client)
Coach Jermaine was a great coach, his coaching was full with passion and he showed his professionalism in the field of basketball.
Michael (CoachUp client)
I'm an older player and late learner looking to improve my overall skills. Coach Jermaine's approach to establishing a good foundation is through patience, proper form, repetition, and strength training. He inspired me to push myself to go beyond my comfort zone without feeling rushed. He identified flaws and made corrections to improve my form, handles and shooting accuracy. Coach Jermaine was such a professional and a great fit for me. I highly recommend him to everyone at any age.
Jack (CoachUp client)
Coach Jermaine met my son and immediately clicked with him. After their first session my son had more confidence and desire to play better. I would highly recommend anyone who needs that 'extra' little push/tweak in being a better player to connect with Coach Jermaine.
Justin (CoachUp client)
My son trained with Coach Jermaine approximately twice per week during the basketball offseason resulting in a drastic improvement in overall playing capabilities, fitness and attitude. I would highly recommend Jermaine to any player looking to take their game to the next level.

Paul (CoachUp client)
Coach Jermaine is great with young kids and gives his full attention during the coaching session. This is important as my son is young and needs that one on one attention in these early stages of development. Very happy with his coaching style, very encouraging and keeps the athlete working hard all session. I recommend him to anyone looking for an attentive, skilled, and hard-work coaching session.
Melissa (CoachUp client)
Coach Jermaine is extremely personable. My son’s first session was amazing. He learned so much in the first hour. Well worth the drive. I have been to many coaches in my lifetime but hands down coach Jermaine is awesome! He really knows how to push the kids just enough to give them confidence. Can’t wait for the next session. Great first workout. My son was exhausted. Lol

Our daughter really enjoyed her first session with Coach Jermaine. When she got home she had to show me everything she learned and can't wait to go back for her next training session.
Dorje (CoachUp client)
I would definitely recommend Coach Jermaine for players of all levels. Being a complete beginner along with my younger brother, Coach taught us the value of fundamentals and pointed out the small details that people generally miss but makes all the difference in terms of learning and appreciating sport of basketball.
Coach Jermaine is punctual and professional in his conduct. I have a lot of respect for his dedication and love for the sport.
Be prepared to work hard and enjoy the learning process.

Dennis (CoachUp client)
Coach Jermaine is very knowledgeable with the sport. I am 100% novice with basketball and with that he make sure that i get all the basics. He also make sure that I learn each move in precision and covers the reasoning behind it. This way you get the full understanding of the entire thing. He sees the things that needs improvement and he makes sure to push you to your limit for you to improve and learn new things in each session.
Fikre (CoachUp client)

Thanks for the great session Coach Jermaine. Ethan working with you one on one will help unlock his potential and intensity as well as tie everything he’s learning in his Skills Academy and Rep practices together. Looking forward to the upcoming practices!
Jody (CoachUp client)
Jermaine is an awesome coach! A self-proclaimed basketball nerd, he not only understands the fundamentals of the game, he understands the "why" behind them - and is eager to share them with you as you train. That additional insight is key to really improving your game. As someone who's not in the greatest shape, I was happy that Jermaine modified his workout to accommodate my fitness level, and by the end of the workout I was spent - but walked out of the gym with a smile on my face. I look forward to working with him a lot in the future! Highly recommend!
