My 9 year old has been working with Coach Sam for over 6 months and it’s been so fun watching him improve and gain confidence! Sam always shows up prepared really spends time working on necessary skills and is always asking for updates on his games and any adjustments they should make to training. He’s genuinely invested in my son and wants him to grow and love the sport of basketball. My son loves working out with Sam and gets so excited to see him. I can’t recommend him enough!

My ten year old twin girls have loved working with Coach Sam. He has a wonderful ability to engage children which enables them to focus on practicing while also having fun. Their basketball skills have greatly improved and they have become more confident players all thanks to Coach Sam!

Sam’s legit. He has so much to teach because he’s an extremely talented player and coach. He has tons of experience and he is flexible to the students needs. I’m over 40 and Sam taught me new things and there were instant results. He’s patient with the process and he loves the game. He started working with me son who is 8 as well and my son not only enjoyed but saw instant benefits and wants to continue he has a knack for coaching people of all ages. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Sam trains our special needs son and the passion for fitness and motivating others is infectious. Since he began working our son several months ago, we have seen an increase in his endurance, coordination, basketball skills and a desire to exercise. Sam is the man!!

My son did not have confidence at all. So he wouldn’t want me to sign him up to any BB lessons, until Sam started working with him. Sam has so much patience with kids great personality and always on time. My son looks forward to BB games now. Sam is a game changer,
Highly recommend. You wont be disappointed 😌
