More About Coach Vantroi
I have been coaching and training athletes for 15 years now. I know what it takes to develop an athlete into a basketball player. I started running personal training sessions for the past 8 years but have always trained players throughout my coaching career.
I concentrate on improving individuals' fundamentals and basketball IQ in my sessions. Once the basics are solid, we start working on getting to the next level. In other words, I build off of the skills you master by teaching players counters to moves they have learned and/or how to adjust to certain situations or defenses in games.
I work with all age groups, from 6 years old to adults and I don't have a problem with traveling to you if you have a gym, backyard, or park in your area.

Coach Vantroi has been working with my 13 year old son for a few sessions now and has been professional and has helped Cam make some big improvements in his AAU. His latest game was night and day from a couple games ago. He is working on his skill sets and training him to be mire athletic and stronger. I would highly recommend coach Vantroi.

Kammaria (CoachUp client)
Coach Vantroi was spot on when evaluating my son. He knew my son had the skills but mentally was getting beat. He immediately pushed my son to work through being tired. It definitely helped in his most recent game.

Coach Vantroi has been an excellent coach over the last few sessions with my son, who has special needs with Autism. Coach Vantroi was able to balance the relationship building, the patience needed, and the required level of firmness in order to get my son back on track when he loses focus, which can happen often with his Autism. If you also have a special needs kid, I would highly recommend Coach Vantroi for the task.

Coach Vantroi did a great job during our first session. There were some things that he taught my son that I had never seen before. I especially liked that he gave him a training workout to do at home,so that he can build muscle and be a stronger athlete. We look forward to more trainings with him.
Allen (CoachUp client)
Great first session. Exactly what I was looking for.

Lakeisha (CoachUp client)
We were impressed with her first session. Our daughter practiced at a college-level and she's only 12. Coach Vantroi is an excellent instructor and our daughter is very excited for her next sessions.
Nathan (CoachUp client)
Great coach! Organized, smart and really makes sure each session we take full advantage of the time. By the end of the first session, I already felt like I had a better sense of the game. Can’t wait to book more time with Vantroi, and I’ll definitely recommend him to anyone looking to put in that hard work to get better.
Holly (CoachUp client)
Coach Vantroi is an awesome coach! He’s very positive and patient making sure my daughter understands every drill. I’m very excited to see the progress with further sesssions! I would recommend Coach Vantroi to anyone!
Johnny (CoachUp client)
Coach Vantroi was excellent when working with my son. We explained that our son had just been released from the doctor after a sever leg break. Coach Vantroi immediately did drills to help strengthen and rehabilitate his leg and ankle. He also provided the "Why" behind some of the drills which I found great as that helps kids understand the purpose.
I would recommend Coach Vantroi to anyone. As a matter of fact, I have already bragged about him to some of my sons teammates, parents and they're going to definitely reach out.
Christopher (CoachUp client)
Brings energy and keeps my son engaged. Highly recommend.
Kabe (CoachUp client)

Coach Vantroi was excellent! He's just the type of Coach we have been looking for. A Coach who knows the game and take the time to not only perfect his clients game but also gives mental conditioning at the same time. Looking forward to the next session.
Ersan (CoachUp client)
If you feel like being pushed, than Coach Vantroi is the guy for you. If you want to lounge around and just do shoot around, go somewhere else. Vantroi is very accommodating and clear in his drills/instructions. After 2 sessions I feel like I improved really well. He wont coddle you, rather explain what you're doing wrong and show you what to do in certain basketball situations. I'd recommend him.
John (CoachUp client)

Steven (CoachUp client)
I have been training with Vantroi for over 8 months now. The guy is a mad scientist and magician. Whenever there is some technical detail in my jump shot that is off, he immediately notices and fixes it no matter how small a detail it is. This has greatly improved my shooting. Even more importantly, he takes you through a series of drills that not only will improve your game, but your physical conditioning as well. I had some issues with my ankle prior to training with him, and some of the calisthenics/sprints/stretching routines he has had me do have actually strengthened the ankle. Would definitely recommend Vantroi, whether you are looking to improve your game, overall fitness, or both!
Yoav (CoachUp client)
Coach vantroi is a great coach!
After just one practice my shooting has improved and I'm feeling great about my game.

My grandsons who are six and nine have, so far, had 2 sessions with coach Vantroi. They are super pumped with just what they have learned so far. At home they practice dribbling, passing and some of the "tricks" that Coach has taught them. Coach's pleasant but firm demeanor has increased their confidence and interest in the game. Great coach for kids and I'm sure for older athletes too.
Mary (CoachUp client)
Coach Vantroi is excellent with my 8 year old son who is a beginner. Right after our first session I noticed a huge difference in my son's ball handling and shooting skills. After our 3rd session I can't even believe how much my son has improved, I definitely recommend him to anyone, he is outstanding at training my son.
Charney (CoachUp client)
Coach Vantroi is excellent my son always comes home happy, and eager to continue learning from him, he is always quick with answers to any questions or requests you may have as well!

Coach Vantroi's first work out with my son was well planned and executed. He started with a warmup and followed with strength and skills and finished with mid range shooting. Will continue with coach Vantroi
David (CoachUp client)
Coach Vantroi is outstanding at his job. You can see right away why he's had so much success. He's got a great, positive attitude and pushes you to do your best. Over the full 90 minute session, his energy stayed the same: fully engaged, present and encouraging. He also has a good sense of humor and is an easy conversationalist, which makes everything easier and more fun. I'll continue to train with him. I'm already seeing results after one session!

Coach Vantroi, did a great job working with my son and educated me on not just what my son was learning but why, he was doing things I don't often see what other coaches and his communication of the fundamentals as well as other drills was great..

Coach Vantroi has been a great help to my son who plays high school basketball. He has improved in ball handling, conditioning, and shooting. Coach Vantroi is professional, patient, and knowledgeable of the game. I highly recommend him.
Cynthia (CoachUp client)
Coach Vantroi is one of the best coaches that my son has worked with. He has an extensive knowledge of the game and the ability to see what each individual player will need to work on to improve themselves. He has not only been coaching my son, but more importantly he has been teaching and explaining what the purpose of each drill and exercise is for and how it will all come together in the end. This is helpful so that my son, who is 13, understands that the drills and exercises have a purpose. It makes him want to work harder.
Jeffery (CoachUp client)
For my first session it was great !!! Im looking forward to working with Coach Vantroi again.
Jose (CoachUp client)
