The lesson with Ali was quite engaging, especially since my son loved learning about the layup technique, which he’s been eager to master. Though we still hope to tackle mid-range shots next, I appreciate how Ali clearly explains fundamentals without rushing through. It’s quite helpful and, honestly, still leaves room for us to build further skills. Still, if you're looking for a coach who can balance instruction and patience, trying a lesson with Ali could be worth it.

I’ve been playing basketball for years just pickup with my friends and at my local 24 hour fitness but this is the first time I’ve had someone break down the game for me and critique me for everything I was doing right or wrong and it’s benefited me tremendously and I learned way more than I thought I would. This was so dope and I’ve learned so much from working with Coach Ali.
