My son has been training with Coach Anderson for almost two years. He has developed as a player and improved in skill and confidence on and off the court. He was able to make it as a starter on his middle school basketball A team and played competitively on the tournament basketball team.

I have been working with Coach Chris since the 8th grade, and every year, I have improved. I made JV as a freshman and have been on Varsity for two years. I am now the starting point guard and have three offers from some small colleges.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson for me is to evaluate your player's abilities to see how to enhance your game. Also, I want to know if we are a good fit for each other.
Lesson 11+Offer guidance on basketball IQ, leadership, and teamwork in addition to physical skills.
Maintain open communication to ensure the player feels supported and motivated.
Lesson 4-10Create a customized training program tailored to the player's needs (e.g., shooting form, defensive footwork, court vision).
Set measurable goals (e.g., improve shooting percentage by 10%, increase defensive stops per game).
Lesson 2-3We will get to work. I will put together the plan for you to see grow in the game. We are providing you with detailed information that we can help you improve.
