Report
I've been very impressed with the training sessions for my ten year old son with Coach Josh. He challenges my son with position specific drills and skills development. The sessions are focused and Coach Josh pays attention to detail. He is teaching my son that hard work will bring results and confidence, while keeping it positive.

Report
Two of my sons have trained with Brandon and his team of coaches. Brandons attention to detail and ability to get the most out of the players is hard to come by. My oldest son had just started playing basketball and could not dribble between his legs but staying dedicated and working with Brandon he made his school team the very next year.
