Over the past year our daughter and son have had the absolute pleasure of working with Coach Berry at the Youth Hoops Basketball Camps. His unique ability to quickly assess our kids’ skill gaps was tremendous. Each has gained from his truly holistic development approach. Coach Berry genuinely displays his passion for the sport of basketball; however, he never allows the passion to outweigh the growth and enjoyment the kids have for the sport. Coach Berry’s professional approach has tactfully and skillfully “weaved” the necessity to balance all aspects of sports, education, community engagements, and future goals of the athletes into his training while ensuring they leave with advanced performance improvements in the sport of basketball. Coach Berry and his training staff at Youth Hoops are well equipped to challenge and teach each athlete to reach their individual basketball goals and his life lessons will make each better adults in our community.

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.

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!
