Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 2
Only worked with him twice, but he's a VERY good teacher. He helped me improve drastically. Helped me with rebounding, shooting free throws, which I carried into my regular shot. We went through A lOT in two days, and it helped my overall game.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFor beginners, the first lesson will be a get-to-know-you session. We will talk about basketball, what the student likes about the game, and goals for the game. Then, we will review some of the basic rules, like traveling, double dribbling, and the pivot after picking up the dribble. Afterward, we will play a little bit to test comfort with dribbling, shooting, and passing. Once we determine current skill level, we will move forward with a targeted individual plan to begin gathering skills.
Lesson 11+The goal of these sessions will be to play the game fluidly, transitioning from one phase of basketball to another: defense to offense, loose ball to offense, missed shot to defense, etc. If the student is ready, we can move from basic dribbling and crossovers to a single counter, one basic post move, and playing defense with peripheral vision.
Lesson 4-10Once we have a feel for the basic fundamentals, we will speed them up to begin to introduce "game speed" for each skill. We will also start combining skills in practice, like shooting off the dribble, passing at full speed, and running behind defensively to pop the ball out.
Lesson 2-3After the initial session, we will focus in on the basic fundamentals: dribbling, passing, shooting, jumping for rebounds, and defense. We will introduce specific techniques for the basics to help improve the primary transferable skills so the student's strengths can help develop the weaknesses.
