More About Coach Jon
Moved to NJ a year ago. I have trained over hundreds of kids from the college level down to elementary school back in NJ/NYC. I'm an I'MPOSSIBLE Skills certified trainer. Have trained D1 players as well as beginners. Prefer working with players with goals who are driven.
Have run camps with Micah Lancaster and Devin Williams.
Played high school basketball. Went to Ithaca College. I played point-forward. Personal highest scoring game ever was 41 points. Had a few triple doubles.
A session can be anywhere from 1hr - Hour and half. The most serious players sometimes go 2 hours. You will learn a lot. Have to bring a notebook and a pencil.
Workouts consists of focusing on areas of the game each workout. Cover all facets of the game from dribbling, shooting, finishing, attack moves, playing within a system, defense, footwork, and the psychological aspects of the game. It's hard work but also a lot of fun. The client should be enjoying the experience and learn to love hard work.

Steve Lai - NYU (Testimonial)
Jon brought my game to another level. You cover so many parts of the game and really develop skill and IQ aspects of the game. I'm now ready for college basketball. Every time I train with Jon I get better and am very grateful for having met him.
Matthew Domville (freshman college) (Testimonial)
Coach Jon Kagan has made a profound difference in my development as an all-around basketball player. I have spent the last year working with Coach Jon both one on one and small groups. Thanks to my time spent with him my high school coach called me the most improved player in our high school program. Even my teammates have remarked on my improved level of play in such a short period of time. His willingness to tailor make workouts, drills and training sessions to specifically fit my needs has been remarkable. Coach Jon has greatly improved my fundamentals, from shooting, ball handling and defense. He gives me the tools to I need to work on my skills between our sessions which allows me to become a better all-around player. He always builds on what I have learned to elevate my game to the next level. He truly cares and has taken a personal stake in my development not just passing the time. I would recommend Coach Jon Kagan to train any basketball player that is committed and passionate about the game.
Eric Berschadsky - Junior High School (Testimonial)
I've gotten so much better. Jon helped develop my game in so many areas. I now am getting looks by D1 schools. He's very dedicated and a great trainer I'll miss.
Chauncey Hawkins - D1 player (Testimonial)
Jon's style is really different. He made me work on things I've never thought of working on. He's a great trainer. Appreciate all he's done for me.
Jesse Adelson (Elmira College) (Testimonial)
My off season training sessions with coach Kagan were intense. There's no other way to describe it. My ball handling and balance improved, my jump shot off the dribble improved, and all of the isolations moves I was taught helped me take me game to the next level. I can't wait to get back to work because every time time I'm done with a workout I know I got better.
Janet Balakian (mother) (Testimonial)
Coach K is a terrific basketball coach who is a true student of the game. His passion for basketball shines through when coaching my son, Nicky. Jon focuses on core fundamentals in developing good ball handlers and shooters. He has done an amazing job improving Nicky's dribbling and shooting skills. Under Coach K's tutelage Nicky continues to develop into a well-rounded player with excellent court sense and ball movement. Nicky has had a tremendous and enjoyable learning experience with Coach K. We are thrilled Jon has this new opportunity to take Nicky's game to the next level.
Nate Garvey - D1 player - Howard (Testimonial)
Jon's training really focuses on attention to details. He also makes sure you understand everything and will really push you. Outside of improving in basketball you will also learn a lot about mindfulness and things that will help you outside the court. Great trainer.
