About Victoria

Passionate about instilling a love for basketball in every student. Basketball has always been my favorite sport to play and watch. I have 7 years of experience playing in both varsity high school and a semi-pro level. I have a couple of basketball articles written about me. My lesson plans will adapt to the player and skill level of the player. I am excited to foster growth, build skills, and boost confidence on and off the court. I want my players to have fun while creating and improving on their skills. Let's work together to improve your basketball skills and take your game to the next.

What students say...

"Tori encourages my kid stay motivated throughout the basketball lesson even while he’s dragging his feet sometimes. The session was engaging and helps him to keep focused on improving his skills. If you’re looking for a coach who encourages you while making practice enjoyable, definitely sign up with Tori for a practice. It’s a great way to boost your game and stay inspired! πŸ˜ŠπŸ€

About Isaiah

Basketball, my all-time favorite sport, has fueled my passion for coaching and helping athletes reach their potential. Over the years, I've had the privilege of training a diverse range of players, from beginners to NBA athletes. I was an assistant trainer for LeBron James, Andrew Wiggins, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Austin Rivers, Darius Garland and many other pro athletes. My expertise extends to refining shooting techniques, enhancing ball handling skills, and focusing on overall conditioning. Emphasizing the essence of teamwork that basketball embodies, I'm here to be a crucial part of your journey on the court. Whether it's perfecting your jumper, improving your handles, or boosting your fitness, I'm dedicated to being there every step of the way. Let's lace up and hit the court together!

About Matt

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 fundamentalsβ€”shooting, passing, and defenseβ€”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.
