The coaches are very professional and knowledgeable. They exhibit excellence in teaching the skills necessary for success in playing and excelling in the game of basketball. My grandson has learned a lot about life and basketball from the lessons that are taught.

We have known ‘Coach Berry’ for several years. He is such a positive and inspirational person. When our son decided to become very serious about basketball, we started having him work with John. We have seen amazing changes with our son’s fundamental skills and physical fitness. John not only teaches kids basketball, he is a positive role model. He is teaching them life skills that every kid needs. He teaches with high-energy, positive reinforcement, and hands-on guidance. It has been said that raising kids “takes a village“. We are so pleased to have John as a part of our village.

I have enrolled my grandson in several of Coach Berry's camps and sessions for the past 5 years. And I almost always stay to observe the sessions to watch him teach and coach. His coaching style and those of his staff are just what kids need to learn and be excited about basketball and playing together as a team. He not only teaches skills and skill development, he teaches what kids need not just to be a good individual player, but a team player along with life lessons. He teaches each to his or her own level and pushes them to develop to the next level with encouragement and always with in a positive manner and positive feedback. When he sees a kid that looks discouraged he unobtrusively takes them aside to show him or her what to do, and when the kid does it, he often says, "You see what you can do? You got this!!" That changes the whole demeanor not just for that person, but for everyone!! He NEVER embarrasses anyone. And his sessions are always done with good humor. He wants them to have fun while they learn. He is very good at demonstrating and explaining clearly what each drill is. and makes sure everyone knows. He will have kids to demonstrate as well and encourages peer learning. LOVE IT. No matter the level, If you have a beginner or a son or daughter at any level who is shy or afraid, Coach Berry's sessions are the best. And he always interacts with the parents as well from the beginning of each session to the end. He talks with the kid and parents to make sure they enjoyed the session. I have recommended Youth Hoops to many people who have taken advantage of the program. . THANKS COACH BERRY and your great coaching staff.
