Private Basketball Training & Coaches in Poteet, TX

Having honed my craft over three decades, I'm passionate about fostering a love for basketball in every student. My coaching philosophy centers around building a strong foundation of fundamental skills while nurturing each player's individual talents and building lasting relationships with those I coach. I have done most of my coaching at the high school level, for both boys and girls. On the individual training level, I have been working for 13 years with a huge range of players from 3rd grade students all the way up to NBA All-Stars.

I’m a coach, basketball dad, and former varsity head coach who knows exactly what programs expect. With 20+ years in the game—and two sons I personally train (an incoming senior and an 8th grader)—I’ve lived every angle of the journey. Both are known in the basketball community for their game and growth. I train players to think sharper, move smarter, and compete with real confidence. Let’s build skill, IQ, and presence—because the game notices who’s ready.

"“Coach Jason has helped me focus on the things that matter as I get ready for high school ball — effort, decision-making, and body language. He’s coached at the varsity level, so he knows exactly what high school coaches are looking for. I just completed my incoming HS camp last week and my new coaches complimented me on my approach to basketball. My confidence is high right now!”

Ivan Jenkins is a basketball coach with over 15 years of experience working with youth, AAU, and high school athletes.

Jenkins has led championship programs and coached nationally ranked AAU teams while focusing on developing players both on and off the court. His coaching philosophy centers on discipline, teamwork, and preparing athletes for success in sports and life.

"“Great with kids and builds confidence. You can tell he cares.”

I am a bilingual professional with extensive experience in education, communication, and student development. Spanish is one of my strongest professional skills, and throughout my career I have successfully taught students of different ages, backgrounds, and learning levels in both classroom and athletic environments.

My ultimate goal is to help the youth become the best basketball players they can be while also teaching real life lessons. I've helped countless players regardless of their skill level, reach their goals through consistent lesson planning and discipline. I'm also very big on mastering the fundamentals and basketball IQ!

I’ve been training for about 2 years now. I don’t train the same for every kid. I look for what the kids actually need help with including jump training, ball handling, shooting and whatever else they need to improved their game. I played college and also in the ABA currently.

"Review by Jordan T. (Age 12, Beginner Player) “Coach Taylor made basketball fun from day one. I had never played before, but now I can dribble, shoot, and even do layups! He’s super patient and always encourages me to keep going. I actually look forward to training every week!”
