TESTIMONIALS

What I liked about the clinics is that the drills are fun, interesting, and challenging for the kids participating. Coach Ev has earned the respect of his students as he shows it in return. He is fair and firm, having the kids push themselves bit by bit. He is encouraging and motivating and a great influence on the kids!
— U10 Parent
Coach Reece is approachable and really encourages the kids to become more focused. His coaching style is very structured on the foundations of basketball which stems from his own experience in high level ncaa/pro basketball.
— U12 Parent
I love that the boys now love basketball. They are bringing their balls to school and practicing. I also think it’s great that they are exhausted and redfaced after a full-on workout. They are challenged and excited to get better. And I also think showing their progress and letting them see how they are getting better through practice is essential. One of the best things is that you say “you are not cheating me, you’re cheating yourself” which hits home the need for personal responsibility.
— U16 Parent
Coach Ev was great. Explained the drills and expectations clearly from Day 1. Holding each person accountable for their work.
