Tori encourages my kid stay motivated throughout the basketball lesson even while he’s dragging his feet sometimes. The session was engaging and helps him to keep focused on improving his skills. If you’re looking for a coach who encourages you while making practice enjoyable, definitely sign up with Tori for a practice. It’s a great way to boost your game and stay inspired! 😊🏀

I’ve learned a lot about playing basketball through Tori. She’s fond of doing the fundamental skills in basketball. Her shooting strategy is on point and made me a more accurate player when it comes to shooting three pointers. She taught me how to respond to a certain defense. For example, if my guard is closing out too close, I can definitely attack the basket and make an easy layup. Or if the close out is too far, I can make a three pointer. Her insight about the game is very helpful. She gave me a different perspective in playing basketball. I’m really lucky to be one of her students.

How it works

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonWe will start with simple drills so I can see what level the player is at. For shooting, we will start with close shots around the rim so I can see their current form. For dribbling, I will ask them to show me if they can crossover, behind the back, and dribble in between the legs. For passing, we will pass back and forth with each other and do the different passing types such as bounce pass, chest pass, overheard pass, and others.

Lesson 11+Depending on the improvement, he will start working on more difficult shots such as dribble pull up shots, floaters, shooting while a defender closes out on you. The dribbling drills will consist of weaving through cones, performing a certain dribble combo at the cone. Dribbling while trying to catch a tennis ball so they work on looking up and not at the dribble.

Lesson 4-10Two ball dribbling so they can work on both left and right handles. Mirroring my dribbling. Contested layups. Dribbling with a defender in front of you. Tired free throw shooting which simulates in game free throws. We will also set new goals of how many shots we want to make from certain spots and each new lesson, the goal will get higher.

Lesson 2-3Depending on what I see in the first lesson, we will start with the close shots and move our way back if they already have a sense of shooting. We will do the drill around the world shooting. We will also work on layups, making sure the correct leg goes up.

Youth players

Working with kidsWorking with kids, I will make my lesson plans fun and enjoyable through games like Simon says dribbling version. I will incorporate age-appropriate drills no matter what level the child is at. I will be patience and encouraging as I believe those are key when working with kids and beginners so they will feel confident and ready to learn.

Working with teenagersWhen teaching teenagers, I will create lesson plans that are enjoyable, social, and competitive. I will incorporate beginner and advanced drills depending on the skill type. Some of the competitive techniques I will use will be prize driven, for example, if they make x amount of shots, they don’t need to run or do x amount of push up and sometimes I’ll run or do the pushups instead if they make a certain number of shots. I will create a supportive and collaborative environment so that the teenager doesn’t have to be shy to ask questions and suggest certain drills they want to try. I want to encourage teamwork and learning. I want to help teens develop skills and confidence that they can use in team play and help their personal growth.

What you need to bringThey can bring their own basketball if they like and any other basketball supplies they would like to use.

What I can bringI can bring basketballs (we can discuss what size and style beforehand) and other teaching equipment.

Passionate about instilling a love for basketball in every student. Basketball has always been my favorite sport to play and watch. I have 7 years of experience playing in both varsity high school and a semi-pro level. I have a couple of basketball articles written about me. My lesson plans will adapt to the player and skill level of the player. I am excited to foster growth, build skills, and boost confidence on and off the court. I want my players to have fun while creating and improving on their skills. Let's work together to improve your basketball skills and take your game to the next.
