6 parents booked Nicolas

“Coach Nicholas was fantastic! This was my 3-year-old son’s very first private basketball lesson, and he had such a wonderful time. Coach Nicholas was incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging, making my son feel comfortable and excited to learn. He knew exactly how to keep him engaged while making the lesson fun. We had a great first experience and are already looking forward to the next lesson. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and talented coach for young children!”

Beginner training plan
Your first trainingFirst lesson will be used to observe strength and weakness of players. I will put them through finishing, shooting, and dribbling drills. The most important thing I will pay attention to is the players skill with their weak hand. I want to use our first lesson to establish the right intensity necessary to develop.
Training 2-3Following lessons we will continue to add difficulty to our lessons. For example I will have my players go from one ball dribbling to two ball simultaneous dribbling. I’ll also add different footwork to finishing drills like performing a euro step or hop step finish.
Training 4-10Onward from the first few lessons we will begin to implement training with pads to add difficulty to our finishing drills. We will also use tennis balls for stationary dribbling drills.
Training 11+Remaining lessons will consists off building what we worked on and applying more difficulty. Basketball is about perfecting your craft. And perfection is achieved through repetition. I like to add fun challenges so players stay constantly engaged
What you need to bringBasketball shoes
What I can bringBasketballs, tennis ball, cones and basketball pads

Coach Nicholas has been incredibly kind and patient with my son. My son is a 2nd-grade boy who is still learning and not very skilled at basketball yet, but the coach takes the time to teach him carefully step by step. He is always very responsive and truly puts effort into helping each child improve. We really appreciate his dedication and kindness.

Coach Nicolas did a great job of assessing my son’s level and catering the drills to work on the fundamentals he needs to develop. He did a great job of breaking down the drills and movements and giving him small corrections or things to focus on and didn’t over load him with too much at once. He pushed him to get him to work hard without frustrating him.
