More About Coach Jerry
I have coached the high school team for Fontana High school in california in 1990, I do shooting clinics for high school and college players. I have done clinics for Cal State San Bernardino, Cal State Fullerton, Cal State San Luis Obispo and the Philipines and many more.
Highlights I am 5 9 and I was able to dunk a basketball after going through a 120 day training class to jump higher. And shoot free throws at 95%. I can teach you the same and take your game to the next level.
For shooting:The session will start out with seeing how the athlete shoots the ball now and get their % of how they are doing now. Then we will set a goal and start the process of teaching how to get a Arch on your shot, how to hold the ball, how your arms should be throughout the shoot, Shooting with your legs, shooting with fingertips and waving goodbye to the ball, elbows in. Then we will learn to shoot in game time mode that is fast pace, Then we will learn to shoot on the run and to separate from your defender to get a open shoot.
For Dunking: We will go over jumping routines that helped me at 5 9 learn how to dunk a basketball.
For Dribbling: We will go over alot of dribbling routines, included dribbling behind your back, through your legs front and back, blindfolded, dribbling with both hands full speed, going through obstacles and keep the dribbling on both hands, behind the back,between legs, and then combine dribbling at full speed with shooting in game time speed.
For moving with out the ball: Set up obstacles to move and shake a defender to get open by moving without the ball and then catch and shoot from different places on the floor.
For Spin move with lay up or tear drop shot: with obstacles of coming down the court full speed to drive to the basket and spinning around your defender to lay up a shot or to tear drop a shot from the right side of the court or the left side and the center of the court.

We just had our first session with Jerry. My son was very happy with his lesson and is excited to schedule more in the future.
Jerry was knowledgeable and patient and that made everyone very comfortable.

- Provided a warm friendly environment; properly introduced himself to us and to my son at start of session.
- Knowledge and proficiency in basketball was evident.
- Effective in communicating with my 11 year old son, by being motivating and positive throughout the session.
- Identified areas of strengths and weaknesses as the session progressed.
- Those strengths were reinforced continually, and the my son's skills were improved to address his weaknesses.
- Focused on improvement by targeting specific techniques: way to hold the ball, anticipating a pass, etc.
- Specific goals were set for next session by encouraging practice at home and meeting expectations.
Alex (CoachUp client)
The training is held at a church that has an indoor gym. We began training with a short theory of basketball course. The technique part of course was new and old to us. We came away with a better, more detailed basketball game. Overall the training was a success. We will be back for more.

Sam (CoachUp client)
My 8 yr old son and his friend just had their first semi-private lesson with Coach Jerry. They went from never having picked up a basketball to doing dribbling drills and learning the basics on how to shoot a basketball. Coach Jerry kept it fun and they are looking to more lessons with him. Both dads are excited about watching our sons expand their basketball abilities under the tutelage of Coach Jerry!
Joel (CoachUp client)
In just 1 session, I watched my son's shot improve dramatically. Coach J is a teacher of the mechanics and explains everything in details. He keeps it all very simple! Coach J emphasizes the mental game and focuses the importance of the mental factor not only in game situation but in practicing. I am looking forward to improving my son's overall game!!! Coach J loves o see a beautiful shot so he has that passion to teach.
