Private Basketball Training Parents Review Austin Youth Basketball

I want to start by saying thank you. With the few lessons that Christopher has taken, it has impacted his game tremendously in a positive way. From being comfortable at the C/F position to wanting to play guard and move the ball around.

Last week he did a basketball camp at Akins and they were impressed with his footwork. Honestly, I have to thank you for that, because I really did not work with him on his footwork.

So, if you can send me some information on your basketball camps, I can run them past both my kids to see if this is something they want to do in August.

In the fall, he decided not to play football, because he loving basketball way too much. I told him, whenever, he is ready to play he can play. I’m the dad that won’t force my kids to do things their heart is not into. If their is something they really want to do, I’m there for them.

My wife also agreed with me, that you love the game and you are a great coach, so we thank you. Trust me, my son and I are very picky who coaches him.

Player Development Results

Chris, Alfred had his first team practice yesterday and I just wanted to truly thank you again for the wonderful job that you have done with my son. It has been a while since I have seen him playing with kids his own age,and I was blown away by how much more advanced he is compared to the other kids. He has been working very hard on his game… and again we really appreciate all of your help. YOU ARE WORTH your price per session and more, and we are thrilled to have you helping us on Alfred’s basketball journey. So would the 20th at 9am work for you? Again thanks for your help and thanks for the passion that you bring whenever you’re working with my son. By the way he will be at the Drills to Skills camp and any other camp that you think would be a fit for him.

Killer Crossover aka UTEP 2 Step

Superhandles has been accused of being more show than go. Certainly he knows how to wow a crowd. After viewing tons of Tim Hardaway crossover footage, I felt nobody broke down the move better than Superhandles. The key is to get lower than your opponent. Most crossover moves I see performed by today’s young players are not low enough. Our summer camps and private training will teach thise move made famous by Tim Hardaway.
