Tyler is a great coach. He helped my son and I improve our shooting in just a few sessions. And I know the things to practice to continue improving.

Coach Tyler was positive, friendly and knowledgeable. My son improved after just one lesson. He is looking forward to many more sessions with Tyler.

A terrific coach! Very patient and a skilled teacher!

Great coach! I signed up my son and noticed an improvement in his skills even after one session! He wouldn’t stop talking about doing another session so we’ve signed up for more already. Thank you Tyler!

Excellent coach!

Good first training, almost didn’t make it threw the workout

Just An Awesome coach will continue my sessions with him in the future.

Coach Tyler is an excellent trainer. I've had two sessions and I already see good improvements in my game. He is patient, enthusiastic and hardworking. He has really helped build my skill set that I can carry over into my future games and sessions. I love working out with him and look forward to our next training session.

Tyler helps me learn new moves that I can use in my games, and he has improved my shot tremendously. I have learned the most by playing 1-1 against him and learning from a really great player. I love working out with him and look forward to our next training.

Coach Tyler has done a tremendous job working with my son Eugene in all aspects of Basketball. Eugene has improved his game with each session. Thanks Coach.

Eugene Petrungaro

Tyler has been an amazing coach. Mitch has learned a lot and has been inspired by Tyler's basketball skills and his good character. He is a great role model and we look forward to working more with him .

He's the best we've ever had here in terms of his ability to train, run the facility, and manage players. When he was here I had him working with our European pro players and college guys. He can do it all.
He "lives and breathes" basketball ever since he started playing basketball as a fourth grader. According to Ray, "Tyler's training work ethic is unmatched! He infuses his drive into all the players he trains. I am always looking for the next Tyler Leighton.
Tyler has given Evan the confidence to let loose and play full out. He now realized that he can be a very good ballplayer if he continues to work hard at it and he has the skills to be in the mix on the Varsity team. Because of his work with Tyler he realizes it's ok to try different things on the floor and expand his game. Tyler is helping Even reach his full potential.
I trained with Coach Tyler in the off season hoping that I could get my game into shape for the upcoming season. Tyler not only improved my game during the off season, but he made me more confident in myself. He showed me what it took to get better by making me more disciplined on and off the court. Tyler truly made me a better basketball player and a better person off the court by showing me leadership skills and being responsible. He was a positive role model in my life. Because of Tyler’s training he has made me a better basketball player and a better person in the game of life.
