More About Coach Steven
I am currently the Bayside HS Boys Varsity basketball coach. I have coached at the high school level, and was a manager at the college level for 4 years. I also coach AAU basketball and have trained athletes from ages 9-18. My specialty is working with boys in that age range.
I was named the NY Post Basketball coach of the year in the 2011-2012 season. I led my team to the final four of the NYC playoffs as a 38 seed. I also won a Boys JV Queens championship in the same season for Bayside HS.
The specific plan is teaching each student the fundamentals of the game. The proper way to shoot from hand placement to feet placement to being able to square to the basket. I also work on ball handling and foot work using plyometric skills along with other necessary skills to fix any foot work issue. The sessions are designed for you to improve your skills and be able to utilize what we learn in game play situations.

Great Coach. Very enthusiastic and eager to train. Really pushed my son in one session to get the most out of him. Highly recommend.
Raymond (CoachUp client)
Coach Steven was great during our session. He was able to identify points in which I was struggling and able to correct the movements of correct form, and why do things a certain way. He was very patient in the session, as I was unable to do some of the moves he had showed me at first until I got the correct form down.
Juron (CoachUp client)

Coach Steven was excellent and has a deep knowledge of the game and how young people need to practice! His drills and pointers were valuable for my son who is trying to improve to try out for his high school team. Even after one session my son got a good sense of what he needs to improve and what would make his form better. I would highly recommend Coach Steven!

Coach Steve has been a pleasure to train with. He is very patient and attentive with my 7 year old son. My son has learned foundational basketball skills, and my son has improved overall since training with Coach Steve. Another convenience is that Coach Steve is very flexible and understanding when it comes to scheduling. He arrives to lessons prepared and on time. We look forward to continuing our training sessions with Coach Steve.
Margaret (CoachUp client)
My 16 year old daughter had a great first basketball session with Coach Steven and we definitely will be continuing with him. She came away from the session with at least three concrete things to try in her next game, which was great. But what I am most pleased about is that he made establishing a rapport with her a priority. My daughter really appreciated that he asked her questions about her game, really listened to her, and then incorporated that into the coaching plan. We're really looking forward to her working with Coach Steven over the summer in advance off her varsity tryouts next school year.
Eduardo (CoachUp client)
Appreciate you big time coach .. I definitely refer anyone training to train with coach Steve thank you

Steve coaches my son on how to shoot with correct technique and repeat them until he gets them right in order to develop good muscle memory. Very knowledgeable coach and my son is learning basketball lingo surrounding the activity which is useful as he advances to the next level.
Ricardo (CoachUp client)
Steven is an excellent coach very friendly and knowledgeable about basketball. He always gets the best out of his athletes by pushing you to give it your all at all times. I would highly recommend coach Steven to anyone looking for a basketball coach with a high IQ for the game.
Joshua (CoachUp client)
My 11 year old daughter just had her first session with Coach Scharf. The drills were intensive, but fun, which kept my daughter interested and motivated. Coach Scharf worked on her form by using repetitive shooting and ball handling drills so my daughter would develop “muscle memory.” We are hoping to continue the sessions.

Coach Steven is an awesome trainer! After just one session, my son felt like his whole game improved. Coach Steven worked on his shot with him... And the following weekend, my son scored his first 3-point shot of the season! My son felt very comfortable with Coach Steven from the start, and he likes the way he worked him hard. Coach Steven encouraged my son and made him feel good about his skills. Coach Steven knows his stuff, and my son is looking forward to his next session.

Claudio (CoachUp client)
With out any reservation do I recommend Coach Steven. He's helping my son with the basic fundamentals of the sport, all the while making it fun. He's a great teacher.
Sarah (CoachUp client)
The students I bring to work with Coach Steven are both beginners, so naturally there is only so much they can do now. However Coach Steven has show himself to be a great source of confidence for the students, encouraging them to keep trying until they get the desired results, especially commending them when their form is good even if the shot doesn't go in. In the first few lessons the Coach has focused on building confidence in proper dribbling and shooting technique and the students seem to be improving. The students enjoy the Coach's easy going personality and his no rush/ low pressure instruction. The students are still getting a great workout, but enjoy going at their own pace. We're all very happy with how the lessons have been going!
Colleen (CoachUp client)

Dakota Stabile Head Coach AAU Marksmen Team Sports (Testimonial)
Over the last few years I have worked with and coached with Steve Scharf. In addition he was my high school coach. Steve is extremely knowledgeable about the game and comes very highly recommended. His individual workout sessions are tailored to the specific player and are always intense and rewarding. Steve takes an interest in his players and will do what is best to help them take their game to the next level. -Dakota Stabile
Jimmy/ Father of player (Testimonial)
Coach Scharf is a very hard and dedicated worker, he gives everything he has during every session. My son went from a player who did not have the confidence to play in any sort of organized game, to having the confidence to try out for his school team
