“From the moment my son started training with Coach Martin his confidence returned. Chris says it feels like he’s studying for a test by training with Coach Martin. He’s absorbing what’s being taught and can translate it all to me on the ride home. I see the sparkle in his eye as he believes he’ll be a better player in the years to come. Thx Coach.”

 

“Great coach. Keeps my son engaged in the game. He looks forward to training with Coach Martin every week.”

 

“Coach Martin is a very good coach. He knows how to connect with the person he is coaching, motivates the person to do well and teaches the person to push himself. My son had a great first session with Coach Martin but was unable to complete the full hour because my son became unwell. Coach was very understanding and yet still encouraging. My son still left the session feeling confident and with a positive attitude.”

 

“My son has been taking few sessions with Coach Martin in the last couple of months, which has made a huge difference in his offensive skills, especially ball handling and shooting. Coach Martin is an excellent basketball coach who is very professional and sincere, hence manages every bit of the session efficiently without wasting a second. 

He explains and demonstrates the techniques methodically and encourages until the student gets it right. It’s very inspiring to watch coach Martin’s quick movements and ball handling strategies. I have noticed that he breaks down each technique in a slow motion making it easy for anyone to observe and learn. Speaking from my son’s perspective, Coach Martin covers everything from shooting a basketball to having right footwork. He always pushes the envelope and encourages you every way to try your best, and appreciates you for that. 

He goes through intense, fast-paced workouts, that will help you grow your endurance level as well.

Thank you, Coach Martin!!!”

 

“Coach Martin is an excellent coach. My son loves getting trained by him. Just after two sessions, I could see the difference in my son’s play. Will be scheduling sessions with my daughter as well.”

 

“Martin does a great job coaching my son. I like how he focuses on developing a strong foundation with fundamentals skills on which to build upon.”

 

“Martin offers elite training for youth not just offensively, but defensively as well. Martin has a unique basketball mind which allows him to teach concepts that can be applied in high school and college basketball. He was an extremely productive college player and competed professionally as well. He knows what it takes to take your child or player to the next level. His training is under the radar and is only a matter of time before he is highly sought after. I highly recommend his training as he is great with the kids.”

 

“Coach Martin is awesome! My two 13 years old boys really enjoyed their training with him!”

 

“After 3 sessions with Coach Martin, my 10-year-old is a different basketball player. Much better at dribbling and handling basketball. Martin has excellent knowledge of basketball and knows how to coach and what techniques to teach. Very happy to have Martin as my son’s Coach.”

 

“Coach Martin was the perfect choice for my daughter! She was very comfortable and very receptive of his training and instruction. She’s very excited and can’t wait for her next session. We will definitely be purchasing more!”

 

“Coach Martin has been working with my 7-year-old son for the past several months and we couldn’t be happier with the results! The workouts are intense and focus on real game skills. But more importantly, Coach Martin and the entire Basketball Society staff are amazing when it comes to working with kids. My son has such a great time working out every week that he never wants to get off the court when his workout is over. If you are looking for someone to improve your kid’s game while at the same further their passion for the sport, I highly recommend Coach Martin and the Basketball Society staff!”

 

“I like working out with Basketball Society because every time I’m learning a new move or new trick. I’m constantly expanding my game and pushing myself to the best I can be. Plus it’s teaching me how to compete against the best when you’re playing 1 on 1 vs. Martin and Cee you have to bring it every time or else you’ll get destroyed. Overall I would say I’m becoming a better scorer.”

 

“My 13-year old has been playing AAU since the 3rd grade and has never worked on the critical aspects of developing his game like he has with Basketball Society. After working with Coach Martin, there was a noticeable improvement in his offensive performance and defensive ability with an increase in basketball IQ. I highly recommend the training. Coach Martin got our son ready for High School basketball.”

 

“It is with great pleasure that I write about my son’s experience with Coach Martin and Coach Cee at Basketball Society. I am very impressed with the skills that are being taught and the drills they run. You guys offer extremely effective training sessions with my son, Chandler.

When Chandler trained with you guys last year his AAU Coach saw an immediate improvement in Chandler’s shooting and game. When my son resumed training with you after travel season, once again his AAU Coach noticed additional improvements.

It has only been 2 weeks since resuming his training with Basketball Society and he has become more precise with shooting, dominant with his handling skills and exploding to the basket. WOW WOW WOW, how amazing is that to receive results that quickly!!  I wanted to thank you for running such a quality and professional training program. I am highly recommending Basketball Society to all parents, players and coaches I meet throughout the season.”

 

“Our daughter has played in middle school for two seasons and last spring completed her first year of AAU level play. We all realized after the AAU season that she did not possess the fundamental skills that she needed in order to play at the level that she wanted…several basketball clinics later we realized that she still hadn’t gotten the exposure and opportunity to work on these important fundamentals….my wife sought out several different trainers to no avail…enter Coaches Martin and Cyril…

We received their flyer in our mailbox and took a chance… how fortunate for us…they offer a first-rate court facility that is fully lit for later appointments, great flexibility with scheduling and are always very responsive to questions or requests to change an appointment time. Their level of expertise, which is not reflected in their fee structure, was apparent at the first session when within minutes after the session began they identified and corrected the poor mechanics of our daughter’s jump shot (4 different coaches and half a dozen clinics over 18 months had failed to do so)….. the level of creativity in the selection of drills and exercises is remarkable….

For the past six weeks, Molly hasn’t performed the same ball handling drill twice, yet each exercise has been directed to build that skill set……its always a challenge and never boring…there have been multiple shooting exercises that have been designed to replicate live game conditions, teaching her to shoot from different areas of the court, shoot when fatigued, self-correct her mechanics when shots are missed and most importantly to maintain her confidence when shooting….. the attention to detail in her performance is always focused, there is always an emphasis on getting the mechanics right which is always accompanied with an explanation as to why the mechanics are important and how the mechanics are manifested in an actual game….

Molly has made significant progress over a very short period of time….The ultimate testament, though, is Molly’s own experience with her coaches…when I asked what she liked most about Coaches Martin and Cyril, she replied, “they’re fun spirits”. We hope to engage them for the rest of the year and for many more years to come.”

 

“I had been looking for an elite basketball trainer to work with Nick that was close to home and when I heard about Basketball Society, I decided to give them a try.  Nick loved the training starting with his first session.

My son who is going into 6th grade. He plays point guard and shooting guard and Coach Cyril was a perfect match because of his understanding and knowledge of guard play. Coach Cyril is a knowledgeable elite basketball trainer and a very skilled ball handler himself and is able to demonstrate different dribbling techniques and drills to my son, which makes learning them much easier. The drills he puts my son through are intense yet fun and the improvement in my son’s game after just a few weeks of training with Coach Cyril is noticeable. Best of all, my son enjoys training with Coach Cyril and looks forward to each session!

It was clear that Coach Martin was extremely knowledgeable about the game of basketball having played college ball himself. The drills he puts Nick through are extremely intense and he pushes him to perform at his highest level, but in a respectful and motivating fashion.  I was impressed at Coach Martin’s ability to communicate different basketball drills and techniques in simple language that Nick understood.  Further, Coach Martin often demonstrates the drills before asking Nick to perform them, which is a good teaching technique for an 11-year old player.  He also explains the purpose of each drill and how it translates into his gameplay.  The training sessions begin with a series of warm-up drills followed by intensive drills (ball-handling, shooting, pick & roll, footwork, finishing at the room, passing, etc.) performed in a fashion that builds not only skill, but strength. I have been thoroughly impressed with Coach Martin and would highly recommend him anyone who is looking to become a better basketball player.”
