Brooks. H
Coach Demario was great to work with. I appreciated how focused and intentional the session was. We worked on form shooting and tightening up my mid-range jump shot. His feedback was clear and helped me make real adjustments on the spot. Highly recommend if youâre serious about leveling up.
Travis. S
Coach Demario was great! I He broke things down in a way that was easy to understand and made sure I was learning the right fundamentals from the start. Super patient, positive, and professional. Highly recommend if youâre just starting out or getting back into the game!

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonEstablish Trust
⢠Warm intro: Ask a few light questions like âWhat made you want to learn basketball?â or âAny favorite players?â
⢠Set the tone: Let them know itâs okay to make mistakes and that learning the basics now sets them up for long-term success.
⢠Quick assessment: Have them do a light dribble or a few form shotsânot to judge, but to see their natural instincts.
Lesson 2-3What to Expect in Session 2:
Focus: Reinforce and Build
⢠Quick review: Weâll go over what you learned in session 1 to lock in the foundation.
⢠Reps, not rush: Expect more repetition with sharper feedback to build rhythm and confidence.
⢠New layer: Weâll begin introducing movementâlike shooting off a step or adding basic footwork to dribbling.
⢠Mini test/game: A light challenge to apply what youâve learned in a real feel setting.
Goal: Leave knowing why each rep matters and feeling more in control with your skills.
⸝
What to Expect in Session 3:
Focus: Control + Confidence
⢠Skill stacking: Weâll start combining two skills youâve learnedâlike dribbling into a shot or pivoting into a pass.
⢠Better pace: Youâll move more naturally, and drills may pick up speed to match your progress.
⢠Body awareness: Weâll teach how to use your body for balance, space, and efficiency.
⢠First signs of flow: Youâll start to feel when something âclicks.â
Goal: Begin moving like a basketball player, not just practicing like one.
What you need to bringStudents should always bring a ball. Please wear basketball apparels.
