As a client, you can expect to be taught the fundamentals first. After getting a firm handle on the basics, we will move into more advanced techniques. The sessions will be building blocks that clients will be able to grow confidence in their game. I will challenge your footwork, dexterity, coordination, and overall skill. We will work ball handling, a goal for the session, and condition every session. I do not train players to be robots. However, I can train specific positions if desired.
