Former Player / Current Parent Reviews Coach Corbett and Austin Youth Basketball

As a proud parent and former basketball player, I have searched high and low for someone with the same love and passion that my son has for the game of basketball.  I can honestly say that I am impressed not only by Chris Corbett’s ability to teach the game of basketball, but to do so while having fun. And in only two private basketball training  sessions with Chris, my son has shown a great improvement and he’s learning that hard work can be fun.  Chris is ideal for helping to improve not only skills on the basketball court, but also building character off of the basketball court for your child. In my opinion Chris is more than capable of taking your child’s game to the next level !!!

Kobe Bryant Pound Pivot Move Taught

Austin Youth Basketball admires the work by one of Ganon Baker’s certified trainer’s named Rashid Cann.  He does an amazing job breaking down a complex move.  I recently was chatting with the Rtz brothers (of Crockett H.S. fame) and we all marveled at this Kobe move.  Can’t wait to teach it to rising star Alfred III in a few months.  Check out some of the other videos on our youtube.com channel (http://www NULL.youtube NULL.com/user/atxyouthbasketball).  Learn this move at our Austin Youth Basketball summer camps or in our private basketball training and lessons.
