Client Reviews

Coach Tony has been a source of inspiration and guidance for my daughter. I appreciate the time he took to help her out.

Coach Tony helped my triplets so much this summer with both skills and confidence. I love his approach, he gives them so much encouragement and he will call them out if they are not trying their hardest. My boys love him, they say the workouts are hard but they are learning a lot and they think he is really cool. I had been sending my boys to basketball camp for 3 summers now and after thousands of dollars they are just ok. This is a much more economical and they get one on one training every time, they have improved so much! I can't recommend him enough - you will not regret it. Thanks Coach hopefully we will see you next summer!

Great coach!

Coach Tony has given my son more than just a basketball lesson, but confidence and guidance to believe in himself. That’s all a mother can ask for. Thank you Coach Tony!
