Small is a co-founder of Boston Elite Basketball and president of professional development for the organization.
Coach Small; a 5-year high school head coach and 12-year youth basketball coach and trainer has had the opportunity to work with a number of elite talents around New England. Small has spent his years of coaching working with youth basketball programs in towns such as Bedford, Arlington, Newton, Weston, Concord, Medfield, Dover and many more. He also spends his summers working with a number of elite level men and women, ranging from players playing in professional euro-leagues to the NBA. On the college level he currently works with men and women players from U-Miami, UCF, Duke, Hartford, URI, BC, Fordham and Providence. He has also worked with professional athletes playing in leagues in Romania, Italy, Greece, Bosnia, Spain and Germany. His experience with the highest-level players extends to have working with players from the Miami Heat, Boston Celtics and New Orleans Pelicans.

Coach Kenny Small has been coaching AAU and club for the past 10+years; training and coaching beginners to advanced skilled players. He has experience running small clinics, big clinics (20+kids), showcases (100+kids) and youth basketball clinics (toddlers and grades 1 and 2).

Currently, I am the Head Coach of a semi-pro women's team, coaching high level overseas professionals and ex-division 1-3 college athletes. Season 2021-2022, this past season; I was named COACH OF THE YEAR out of pro league of over 30 teams. I am a graduate from Brandeis University where I was a two-year starter and competed in four NCAA tournaments. I was an All-UAA all-league selection his junior and senior year; having the opportunity to compete in two Elite 8s and two Sweet 16s while playing at Brandeis. I grew up in Bridgeport, CT; attended Stratford High School gaining him the reputation as an outstanding basketball player. Currently, I still holds my high school’s all-time leading scoring record. I was recognized as one of Connecticut’s most outstanding players his final three years of high school; earning accolades as Super 15 MVP of the Connecticut Post, All-State 3 consecutive years in a row, New Haven Register outstanding athlete list and Hartford Courant outstanding athlete list.

I am a very attention to detail coach and training. I will explain why we're doing certain drills, pinpoint game situations where its used and help my player understand the correct basketball IQ in each concept. I like to be repetitive with a few concepts at first, trying to perfect one or 2 things the player needs first before moving on to new things. I have a wild range of skill development drills that start from kids just picking up a basketball to kids looking to become high level athletes in the sport. We will work on numerous ball handling, footwork, shooting, finishing at the rim and HAND&EYE coordination drills to better the skillset of the player.

Great work out for my son to start developing a better game.

Highly recommend Coach Kenny! He is great!! My 10 year old son is really benefiting from his lessons!!

Great session with coach for my 11 year old. Great
attention to detail and getting things right. Not just doing drills but correcting and making sure my son was getting the most from the session.

Great coach!

Coach Kenny's ability to provide high-quality examples of form is truly remarkable. His precision and attention to detail make every session a personalized masterclass. He seamlessly blends skill development with strategic insights. It’s truly remarkable how he can translate his deep knowledge and experience into actionable steps for a 10-year-old. He holds my son to a high standard while providing the right amount of encouragement. I have seen transformational improvements in my son's skills and confidence after just a few sessions and he leaves with a sense of pride for the work he put in, and an increased excitement to play more basketball. I'm so glad we found Coach Kenny.

Coach Kenny asked us what our daughter needed to work on, and he incorporated skill work in those areas in the first session. We're looking forward to more sessions with him and are excited to see how our daughter applies what she is learning when playing in her games.

Kenny is a high level, experienced teacher. He knows the mechanics of the game and more importantly knows how to teach it. My son was applying what he learned immediately after the coaching session in live practice and games.

Coach Kenny is exceptional! In only 2 sessions my son is already showing incredible improvement in his shooting and ball handling. He has played basketball for 2 seasons but has undoubtedly learned more in these 2 sessions than the 2 seasons combined! The best part is he really looks forward to his sessions with Coach Kenny and comes home so excited to show us his new skills. Coach Kenny has found the perfect balance between making the sessions challenging but also enjoyable!

My son really liked his work with Coach Kenny! We are definitely booking more sessions.

My son learned so much from just one session with Coach Kenny. He gave him the constructive feedback that he really needed to improve and made it fun and dynamic. I will definitely be rebooking with Coach Kenny!

Coach Kenny was great! Just a first lesson, and he already has my son (14) focused on key items where he can improve. Coach has great energy, and a keen eye.
