My only regret regarding engaging my son in training with Harding Hoops is that we can't get up there to see them EVERYDAY! I have probably referred 20 kids to Harding Hoops over the past two years, and my selling point to them (and no, I have absolutely no financial stake in Harding Hoops...I pay THEM) is without failure, "Andrew shows attention to detail like no other trainer--in any sport--that I have ever seen in action." And over the course of my 30 years being involved in organized sports, I've seen a LOT of trainers at work. Some of them start out keenly, but then get lazy and just let kids train any old kind of way, wasting the kids' time and the parents' hard-earned dollars. During our first year with Harding Hoops I kept waiting for Andrew to show signs of sloughing off, but just the opposite has happened as my son has gained more time and experience with Harding Hoops. Andrew has grown even more demanding and even more exacting, just as a trainer should as his pupil evolves. Andrews expectations have gone up, and he continues to harp on the minutiae whenever he sees the "kids" getting lazy or tired ("4th quarter, baby! Play through it!"). This is the only trainer my son has NEVER complained about working with. I would say that Andrew's primary goal is to equip players to have the wherewithal and mental tenacity to coach themselves when he's not around or when the crowd is too loud to hear the coach screaming from the bench. Harding Hoops strives to make it impossible for a coach to take a Harding Hoops client off the floor in a game. Not much more I can say, oh, except that unlike some other trainers I have encountered, Harding Hoops is a bastion of professionalism when it comes to all the business dealings. That has been so refreshing. Ok, that's all. Go get some.

Andrew goes beyond what one might normally expect from a trainer. He listens, he trains specific to the needs of the kid, he is patient and earns the respect of not only the child but the parent. He identifies their strengths and weakness and provides results. He is a consummate professional and an experienced player and trainer. If anyone is ever looking for a results oriented basketball trainer...look no further than Andrew Harding. He is the best!

Andrew and his staff have a great way of connecting and communicating with our kids. This makes the sessions fun for them which at at ages 9 and 11 is really the most important component to learning and development.

Andrew Harding provided my teenage son basketball skills training and conditioning in small group format. We've worked with many trainers and coachers and Andrew is the best! He really upped my son's game, who achieved his goal of making his fairly competitive school team. Andrew has a great way with kids and teens and they really respect him. He knows just how much to push them so that they excel. A real professional.
