About your basketball coach

With over 30 years on the court and experience competing at the college level, I bring a lifelong love of basketball to every session. I specialize in developing fundamentals—shooting, passing, and defense—for beginners through intermediate players. I coach in Santa Monica at Reed Park and private residences, offering personalized, goal-driven (in writing 😁) training that builds skill, confidence, and understanding of the game. As a father of two teens (one at Pali High and one at SaMo) and a COO by day, I value focus, growth, and helping each player reach their potential.

Michael
My son Michael was coached by Matt for his first season of basketball at age 12 (in 6th grade). Michael has a spatial awareness condition called developmental coordination disorder (DCD) that makes body coordination difficult, and before working with Matt he couldn’t jump off the ground and really struggled to secure rebounds. By the end of the season he was jumping, grabbing rebounds, and even scored in a few games — which brought tears to my eyes and many smiles to Michael’s face. After the season we moved out of state and even asked if Matt would travel to us once we got settled so Michael could continue training with him. Michael and I highly recommend Matt to anyone who needs an extra‑patient, light‑hearted coach. It was his humor and his clear words of confidence that made Michael’s progress possible. - Susan Hayes

I dribble with my head up and can use my left hand better now. Thanks!
Jon
Coach Matt helped me understand the basics. Now I feel like I can play and develop on my own with confidence.
Jessica
Matt changed my shooting form (which foot is in front) and what to focus on (ball speed from the pocket to release) which helped my shooting percentage.
Sam
Matt is my dad’s friend and in one session helped me create more options from the triple threat position and helped me understand how to read an offensive player so I can strip the ball on their way up for a shot.
Zach L
Easy to work with. Techniques were explained and demonstrated as I tried them which made learning quick.
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonAssessment of skills, knowledge and inital goals.
Lesson 4-10Lots of fundamental skill building for automatic programming. You’ll handle the ball and move around the court better around lesson 5-6. Your shooting % will increase due to muscle memory based on the fundamentals you’ve learned.
