More About Coach Larry

Have over 20 year of coaching experience at both the High School and Collegiate levels including Mt Hood College, Concordia University and Pacific University. I've also been the Director of Basketball Operations and Head Clinician at both Club-sport Oregon and 24 Hour Fitness.

At Mt Hood College, I had the opportunity to rebuild a 1 win team and lead them to the NWACC Championships where we finished 5th place. Have also assisted numerous students in receiving scholarships to colleges.

All sessions are very skills based and will focus on the fundamentals of the game! Student-athletes will receive specialized instruction in all aspects of the game, which consist of proper footwork techniques, the ability to create space, basic relocation, shot preparation, individual & finishing moves, position development, advanced dribbling and ball handling skills along with proper shooting techniques. Be ready to work, sessions aren't easy!

My son felt like the instruction from Coach D was positive and stern but not intimidating. “He made me work Dad!” For context, we’ve had other trainers (and all were great) but I’m a believer in mixing it up. Definitely re-upping for more trainings!

Larry is great! He's worked with both my son and my daughter and challenges them both physically and mentally. Highly recommend!

I've been around basketball longer than most of you have been alive, and I've seen a lot of coaches, both good and bad. Coach Larry was a revelation. In the first session he gave my grandson more valuable teaching than he has received from all his other coaches combined. Make no mistake -- Larry works his players hard -- but he gives them insights and builds their fundamentals in an invaluable way. Easy five stars. Give him a try. He's good.

After one session with Larry, we are so pleased with the things he taught our daughter. He was very patient with her and taught her the proper was to shoot and stand. Will definitely book more sessions.

I've had 1 lesson with Larry so far but I can tell he knows his stuff. Great for advanced and beginner students like me. We worked on ball handling and improving my shooting technique.

Coach Larry is fantastic! After just one session I have productive drills to improve my skills. His training and techniques are like none I’ve experienced before. Planning on more sessions with Coach Larry. Highly recommend!!

My daughter has had one session with coach Larry and is already very excited with the tips and coaching! We will be booking more sessions and recommend coach Larry D!

We had a great first experience, will definitely be going back!

I booked Coach Larry to help with a couple of older (30's and 40's), recreational players. He setup a gym time, came prepared with all kinds of equipment and put us through 90 minutes of basketball torture. Very professional attitude and tireless coaching spirit. Loved it!

Coach Larry is awesome! He is very accommodating to work with your schedule and he really challenged and encouraged my daughters as they went through the workout. I would HIGHLY recommend him if you are wanting to develop your basketball skills.

Coach Larry was great and does a an awesome job of pushing my son to do his best. After only 1 session my son learned so much. Cant wait to watch him improve

Larry is awesome! He is a natural coach and teacher. My daughter got his full attention the entire session and he really critiqes her skills and shows her the correct way to do things. He has more patience then any coach we have ever had as well!! You can tell he has been doing this for a long time and has some skills. Larry is top notch for sure!!

Amazing coach! We can see improvement with our daughter after one session.

Very nice and patient and my son is excited about basketball for the first time in 2 years we book more sessions and hopefully going to have him coach my son for a long time.

Coach Larry is great. We have had several sessions with my daughter age 11 and the sessions have been very productive and efficient. He pushes her and she gets a great work out. After one session we could see a huge improvement in her shot. He works hard and you can see his passion for the game. My 13 year old daughter also decided to work with him and she loved it. Based on the results that we have seen, his experience coaching and his energy, we highly recommend Coach Larry.

Larry combines high-energy presentation and instruction in developing basketball fundamentals and skills in youth ages grade school through high school. Our son and daughter have significantly benefitted from his mentorship and instruction, for several seasons, and enjoy their experiences in clinics and team play even more now.
