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 youβre serious about leveling up.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonEstablish Trust
β’ Warm intro: Ask a few light questions like βWhat made you want to learn basketball?β or βAny favorite players?β
β’ Set the tone: Let them know itβs okay to make mistakes and that learning the basics now sets them up for long-term success.
β’ Quick assessment: Have them do a light dribble or a few form shotsβnot to judge, but to see their natural instincts.
Lesson 2-3What to Expect in Session 2:
Focus: Reinforce and Build
β’ Quick review: Weβll go over what you learned in session 1 to lock in the foundation.
β’ Reps, not rush: Expect more repetition with sharper feedback to build rhythm and confidence.
β’ New layer: Weβll begin introducing movementβlike shooting off a step or adding basic footwork to dribbling.
β’ Mini test/game: A light challenge to apply what youβve learned in a real feel setting.
Goal: Leave knowing why each rep matters and feeling more in control with your skills.
βΈ»
What to Expect in Session 3:
Focus: Control + Confidence
β’ Skill stacking: Weβll start combining two skills youβve learnedβlike dribbling into a shot or pivoting into a pass.
β’ Better pace: Youβll move more naturally, and drills may pick up speed to match your progress.
β’ Body awareness: Weβll teach how to use your body for balance, space, and efficiency.
β’ First signs of flow: Youβll start to feel when something βclicks.β
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.
What I can bringI will bring basketballs and other equipment accordingly to what I feel that fit each session.
