My son hasn’t played basketball for long be 7 years old he can now dribble better and know how to play the game all thanks to Coach Rodriguez! 😇🙏

Coach Rodriguez helped my son improve his shot form and ball-handling in just a few sessions. He brings great energy and pushes kids to work hard while still keeping it fun. You can tell he really cares.

I’ve seen major improvement in my nephew’s footwork and court awareness since training with Cristobal. He breaks things down in a way kids can understand and makes each workout purposeful. Highly recommend him if you want real results.

Cristobal is amazing with young players! My daughter was shy at first, but now she’s more confident on the court and actually asks when her next session is. He’s patient, motivating, and teaches real fundamentals the right way.

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonIn the first session, I focus on building trust and confidence. I start with a warm-up, then evaluate basic movement, coordination, and effort level. We’ll go through simple drills like stationary ball handling, layup form, and basic shooting mechanics. I keep it fun and encouraging while learning about the player’s goals. This sets the tone for our training journey.

Lesson 11+Here we build consistency and real confidence: • Dynamic dribbling (crossovers, hesitations) • Shooting on the move • Passing drills and simple 2-man actions • Game situations (1-on-1 reads, attacking space) We also introduce fitness and mental toughness drills. Players will feel themselves becoming true hoopers by this point.

How it works

Advanced training plan

Your first lessonIn our first advanced session, I assess where you’re at physically and mentally—your strengths, weaknesses, and basketball IQ. We go through high-intensity drills to get a feel for your conditioning, shooting rhythm, ball control, and footwork. From there, we lock in a custom plan to elevate your game fast.

Lesson 11+Now we refine and master. These sessions focus on perfecting your strengths, cleaning up weak spots, and preparing you to stand out in competitive games. We’ll simulate real scenarios, build consistency under fatigue, and keep pushing your ceiling. This is where you separate yourself.

Lesson 4-10We dive deep into advanced moves—step-backs, counters, pace control, and decision-making. You’ll learn how to read defenders, create your own shot, and dominate in 1v1, 3v3, and full-court settings. We mix in conditioning and mental toughness drills so your body and mind stay locked in.

Lesson 2-3Expect focused development on elite fundamentals. We’ll sharpen your handle under pressure, introduce game-speed shooting routines, and improve your reaction time on both ends of the floor. Each rep is intentional—this isn’t just training, it’s preparation for real game situations.
