"Coach Lockett has been an incredible influence on my son’s basketball journey over the past three years. When he first started at age 4, he didn’t even know how to dribble. Today, at 7, his ball-handling skills, defensive ability, and overall confidence on the court have improved tremendously. What stands out most is not just the skill development, but the confidence she has instilled in him. He plays with a level of comfort and belief in himself that wasn’t there before, and that’s a direct reflection of Coach Lockett’s patience, consistency, and dedication. We are truly grateful for the impact she has had on his growth both as a player and as a young athlete.

"Coach Taylor is truly remarkable, combining exceptional skill-building techniques with genuine care for the players' growth both on and off the court. His dedication and passion inspired my daughter to push her limits and strive for excellence every day.

My coaching experience expands over 10 years. I've coached and trained players from the middle school, high school, and collegiate level. My expertise is with point guard/shooting guard skill work including ball handling, proper shooting form, rep shooting, decision making skills, and off ball skill development. Our first session would be more of an evaluation. We'd go through a warm up then transition into ball handling skills and finish with shooting form/drills.

"Great morning! Hope you have been doing well. I just wanted to give you your flowers this morning. The training Reese received from you really gave her a push in all areas. My cousin and I (the one who use to walk with me) said the training did so much for her mentally and physically. She was swimming with the swim team and told me she wanted to cry but she just decided to push through. I love it! Anyway, just wanted you to know you have made a difference. Have a great weekend!!
