Over 10 years of experience as a basketball trainer

- A client can expect a high intensity, well rounded workout that not only focuses on the players strengths and weaknesses but also the overall development of their game. I try to make drills competitive via time, score or against another player or me.
- I continue to keep myself in great shape and an added benefit of my workouts is that I am able to step in and raise the level of intensity of any drill by taking part or competing in the drill with the players I train.

Whether your child is looking to play AAU basketball, tryout for a team, or just improve their skill set, I want to help them achieve their goal!

Coach Usman did an excellent job with my 11 year old! The session was both fun and challenging. He kept my son moving at a fast pace and gave him excellent strategies that he can bring to his next game. Great variety of drills too. Looking forward to more workouts with Usman.

I am glad I booked a one on one hour session for my son with Coach Usman. He was polite, responds promptly to messages I left for him and nice to work with. It was quite a workout with several skills being worked on. My son was thankful for the session. I feel it was worth the time and money and will give my son confidence for his basketball tryouts.

Coach Usman worked very well with my son. He asked what his goals were and incorporated that into his training program. He also identified fundamental issues and helped him to understand the correct way to execute and why it was important. When the session was over, he explained everything to me so I understood what my son was supposed to do. My son walked out of his first session with Jamil and was thrilled with the time he spent. On our way home, my son explained everything that the coach explained to me which let me know that Jamil had great communication skills with the players he's instructing. I HIGHLY recommend him!!!

My son met and workout with Coach Usman yesterday! Fantastic! They worked the entire time and what is really impressive is that Coach is right there with him and is an active participant instead of coaching on the side. Shooting, speed, agility, conditioning and more was packed into the session and a great plan of action created to get my son where he needs and wants to go. Highly recommend Coach Usman!

Coach Usman's training is really helpful. During my one hour training some drills almost killed me, but after working with Coach Usman I feel my skill really improve. I really enjoy to training with Coach Usman.

Coach Jamil has great structure he keeps the athletes moving to maximize the workout. I plan on increasing my sons workout with him for more days in the future.

We had a great first session with Coach Usman yesterday! My son worked hard and was smiling the whole way through it. Will definitely be coming back for more!

Coach Usman has taken Alex to the next level with his basketball skills and overall conditioning. Coach Usman clearly knows and loves basketball ... and knows how to train ... Love how he does the conditioning drills with him

Coach Jamil, Thank you again for attending the Friday's game and your words of wisdom you shared with Jesse Scott. Scott was so joyful and graceful of your discussion after the game. He took every word to heart, like he does whenever he has a discussion with you. We really appreciate you taking the time and making the effort to supporting our son. You are truly missed in Howard County. Jesse L. Martin
I concur with my husband Jesse. Your can do attitude, your words of wisdom and your positive outlook on how young adults can make a difference resonates with Jesse S. I know these contributions from you make a difference in building Jesse's self esteem and confidence in his game. Thank you for your support. Your team is lucky to have you.
Growing up in New York City and as an avid lover of the game, I only wanted for my son to learn the game the correct way. The fundamentals of this wonderful game have always been important to me and I wanted to find someone that could reinforce what I have already taught my son. Coach Jamil and his camp satisfied that void. He and his instructors have the patience and knowledge to teach these young children while keeping this “game” fun.
