Private Basketball Training & Coaches in Elk Grove, CA
These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great training fulfillment & student reviews.
I’m coach Roddi, I have over 20 years of Basketball experience and 4 years of coaching experience (elementary-middle school). I have always been told that I’m a great teacher because of how intentional I am with my students. As a 29yo guard myself, I teach a mix of old and new school (Kobe era basketball). When we’re on the court, fundamentals are the most important to the session. If you lack fundamentals, you lack foundation, with no foundation your opponent will expose your weaknesses.

Roddi
I have been playing basketball for 30 years. I don't have the traditional journey of a basketball player. I wasn't given the chance. However, that never stopped me from sharpening my skills over the years by playing with and against better competition. Everything I learned was self-taught through repetition and observation. If you want to be a well-rounded basketball player, look no further than right here!
"Polite, communicative and seems to know what he's doing!

With three decades devoted to basketball, I cultivate players' potential through focused skill-building and strategic insight. My comprehensive approach ensures athletes develop both technical mastery and a profound love for the game. I am currently the high school basketball coach at Lincoln High School. I am able to train in Sacramento, Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Folsom and any part of the greater Sacramento Area
"The results speak for themselves. When I started with Coach, I was an average athlete. After training for a few months, I’m dunking, moving quicker on defense, and finishing stronger at the rim. He knows exactly how to get results, but he also cares about you as a person. You can tell he loves what he does.

My teaching style is fundamentals-first and deeply encouraging. I break down the mechanics of the game (footwork, shooting form, and passing) using the whole-part method so players truly understand why a move works. I work with a wide range of students from complete beginners who are new to the sport to elite athletes preparing for high school or collegiate careers.
