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.

We can’t thank or say enough about Coach Berry and the Youth Hoops program. Our daughter started her basketball journey in one of the summer camps and gained the skills and IQ needed for her to make and start as a point guard on her team and her travel AAU team within a matter of months. They not only teach the fundamentals but also the life skills and character needed to succeed in life after basketball!

My experience with Youth Hoops has been great. Coach Berry’s instructional style is both positive and disciplined, teaching kids a love of the game as well as the importance of always striving for excellence. My son’s enjoyment of the game, his skill, and his effectiveness playing as a member of a team have all markedly increased under Coach Berry’s coaching.
