The first session with coach KJ was very helpful. He went above and beyond to come to a court that was more familiar to our son to engage and perform assessments. He was able to observe and underhand the improvement items and provide quick help. Looking forward to more sessions.

Koji is a great coach who makes training both fun and effective. He gave me specific drills that helped improve my shooting and ball-handling right away. I also appreciated his background in sports science, which made the session unique compared to other coaches. He is friendly, patient, and can teach in Japanese, which is perfect for Japanese families. I definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to enjoy basketball while getting better.
