We have had our son at Youth Hoops for over a year now and he has learned "how" to play basketball. Our son has honed the skills of dribbling, shooting, passing, and operating in a system. Coach Berry and his coaching team are exquisite at squeezing the confusion, anxiety, and fear, out of the child and filling them with confidence, skills, and self-pride. We are very pleased with the confidence this has provided and importantly, the skills imparted are stellar. Finally, Coach Berry also speaks to the children about being self-aware, self-less, and self-respecting, these are skills and characteristics that will serve them all as they grow into young men and women.

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.
