More About Coach Kirtis

I have over 9 years of coaching experience with the youth. I have coached AAU programs from ages 7 to High school kids for the last 9 years and this has been a great learning experience for the kids and myself. I am now Head Coach for JV and Varsity assistant for a private school and will continue to develop and prepare the kids for the next level.

Basketball has played a big part of my life since the age of 9 when I first developed my love for the game. I've always competed at a high level and even playing in higher age groups during AAU travel leagues. During high school I played on a very talented team with big expectations from around the town, and we produced by winning our league champion which was the first time our school have done so in over 35 years. After high school I went on to play college basketball on a scholarship to Siena Heights University. I love the college experience I gain on the court and the knowledge of the game I received while attending the University. Also, I recently just got back from Mexico playing professional basketball there, and I was selected for the league All-star game and 3 point contest.

During a typical workout a client can expect the basics and fundamentals to be taught with and implied within every drills because muscle memory is the key. Sessions will consist of drills using the ball as well help build quickness, reaction time, court awareness, and conditioning. I strongly believe that these skills need to be pushed more to help the athletes succeed on the court. Drills will consist of footwork drills, defensive drills, and also drills to raise your basketball IQ. Last but not least, I have many great drills to help build your offensive game and take it to the next level with advanced dribbling drills, passing drills, shooting drills, shooting on the move drills and moving without the ball drills.

Great with my son

Coach Kirtis was great to work with! He did lots of drills with my son Alex and then had Alex practice taking shots with a high-pressure defense. Alex found it really helpful and is looking forward to continuing his sessions.

Coach Kirtis is very engaging and really knows how to motivate the player. He has great drills they can do to improve between sessions.

Patient and technical. What more can you ask.

Coach Kirtis is the best! He is working with my kid in the fundamentals and basketball base techniques. He maintain a positive attitude and encourage the kids to give the best of them.

Gabriel really enjoys training with Coach Kirtis. We’ve had a few other coaches from CoachUp prior to finding Coach Kirtis and he is by far our favorite. We also love that he offers group practices because that helps ALOT. Gabriel appreciates his sense of motivation and training techniques and everything about Coach Kirtis. We expect to continue this relationship even after our 10 sessions are up.
Thank you Coach!

Did a great job with my son!

This was my sons first session, he said he really liked him and was helpful on critiquing him with different shots. We look forward to working with him the next session

Coach Kirtis is a great coach with incredible patience and expertise in basketball. He has a natural ability to see where his clients can improve and does an excellent job encouraging the growth of his clients. Our son is excited to be training with Coach Kirtis. We're looking forward to more sessions to come.

Coach Kirtis is highly knowledgeable. After just one session he achieved more in my child than I could in years. Finally, they are progressing!

Coach Kirtis was very professional and patient with my 12 year old son. He was energetic and motivational. He was able to quickly identify some issues with my sons shooting technique and was able to work on it, which led my son to see an immediate improvement. We look forward to continue to work with Coach Kirtis.

Great Coach, He understands and listens. Coach Kirtis see where you are struggling at and helps you to get better.

Great session, fast paced for a good workout and a ton of attention to detail. I really enjoyed it.

Each session was built off the previous one, so I was able to build and expand all the skills I learned. Coach Kirtis really helped me improve my dribbling, shooting, and knowledge of the game. I really appreciate all his coaching.

Coach Kirtis was excellent! After the first session, I really want to go back and play more. He has many good drills and was very motivational. He offered excellent tips and didn't go easy. With more sessions with him, I will probably see a lot of improvement!

Good training session! I like the way he worked with my son, and taught him drills that can better his game. Overall good experience.

He is a very thoughtful coach. He started off by observing what my daughter knows and worked on hard helping her unlearn some of the basics that she got wrong. In every session - apart from the doing the regular drills which I am sure everyone does - he pays special attention to her improving her technique - I loved the fact that he incentivizes the technique not just the outcome! Highly recommended

First session with Coach Kirtis was great! My son is very pleased and is looking forward to their next session together again on Saturdays! Very pleased parent!

Coach Kirtis was amazing. He did such a great job showing and encouraging my son through the basketball drills. I highly recommend Coach Kirtis.

Very Helpful

Kirtis has done a fantastic job working with our young son. He is new to the game of basketball, so Kirtis has had to start from the beginning and teach him the fundamentals. Our son had a lot of fun and can’t wait to work out with Kirtis again.

Coach was great, My son looked forward to training with Coach Kirtis.

Coach Kirtis did a great job in this session. He spent all the time teaching and giving instructions. He also pointed out the problem he found at the end, and brought up the suggestion for future sessions. He is a great coach!

Organized and knowledgeable...
So glad I made the appointment

Excellent session with my son. He loved it.
Highly recommend.

Coach Kirtis is a great coach! He has a coach's eye, and pushed me hard. I appreciate his intensity, and passion for the game. Not only was he good at his demonstrations in explaining the work. But, I felt confident, after my session was done. He is definitely a coach of insight, and detail. I look forward to more sessions with him. Let's get better!

This was my sons first session. The coach had great drills for Joshua. He was encouraging and inspired my son.

Great coach!

I am a strong believer of hard work pays off! my whole life I've followed that concept and it has proved itself many times. for example, the game of basketball is what I love and have the most passion for. During my years of playing basketball, I wasn't always the most talented player. I've had my hard times competing for a spot and playing time on the floor. But with hard work and putting in the extra work and hours I started to see my skill level improve. This allowed me to show coaches and peers how dedicated I am to the game and results will show if you are willing to put in the work in time. That's why I really love the game so much, it has taught me so much in life!
