About Greg

I don't only coach basketball; I help build self-esteem. I help people leave their screens and go outside and raise their heartrate. I help with short and long-term health benefits. I help build grit as sports provide numerous opportunities to learn from failure. I help build face to face communication skills and assertiveness.

These are the many reasons I love coaching basketball.

I played three years in middle school and two years in high school, but that provided the foundation I needed to improve and acquire skills for the next 25 years.

I have taught 17 years of HS science, 3 years of being a tennis coach and 4 years of being a girls basketball coach. For two years I coached a Frosh girls BB team that forced me to re-examine how I learned to move my body for the sport. I learned how to properly teach someone completely new to the sport to progressively learn how to shoot, dribble, pass, and finish layups.

I have provided lessons for high school students, middle school, elementary and beginners in their 20's. My experience with young beginners has honed my skills in assessing what is mechanically diffifcult for the student and what exercises will help them. I have drills at the ready and ones I make up on the spot to address the needs of that particular student. Everyone needs to practice walking before jogging before running.

Try one lesson, watch for yourself, and you will see how great of an investment are my lessons.

About the lesson

The first lesson is usually asses the student's ability to do right and left handed lay-ups. Then observe the extent of their dribbling abilities, and finally end with their shooting form.

I work with students brand new to basketball or sports in general, intermediate levels and I can help advanced players.

Beginners, for example:

1) How to hold the ball in one hand, proper finger positions, wrist and elbow movements for dribbling and passing.

2) How to shoot, finger and hand positions, knees and torso bending, synchronizing the strainghtening of the body during the arm stroke of a shot.

3) Agility ladder exercises to teach foot dexterity.

4) How to pivot with the ball so as not to travel and protect the ball while the player keeps their eyes on their teammates.

Advanced, for example:

1) reverse pivot fade away shot with three options: the immediate shot, or a fake and pivot layup (up and under) or shot fake into shoulder contact into a shot.

2) Through the legs dribble cross R-L hand into two options: three steps into a L hand layup or R foot step back shot based on a fake layup drive.

3) Cross stepping layups (Euro Step)

and more...

I have worked with 7 years of age and up to beginners in their 40s.

I have worked with beginners with zero experience to high school players trying to get more play time or contribute more while on the court.

Perfect! Amazing tennis coach!! I have improved immensely in just 5 lessons. Greg is very knowledgeable about tennis and his pointers are effective. He gives quality lessons, and you really can't beat the price. I just signed up for four more lessons with Greg, and I can't wait to keep learning/playing!

Perfect! We have been taking Basketball coaching for our 7 year old for almost half an year now. We wanted our kid to improve skills so will feel more confident in games. Coach Gregg has been phenomenal in this. He teaches the core skills and technique with perfectly tailored lessons. He is very patient and always so polite and friendly, working tirelessly on getting the right technique through. He knows the shortcomings and strengths of our kid and knows exactly what lessons will help him. He improvises methods for the specific situation. He is a true coach, not just someone to keep your kid busy for an hour, but the one who will help them go to next level. Our kid looks forward to his classes and is developing confidence and skill incredibly. He is also very accommodating, helping reschedule lessons with utmost ease.

Since we liked the basketball class so much, we started taking tennis classes with him as well. He carries kid size tennis racquets so all we have to do is show up and start learning :)

Thanks so much coach Gregg!!

Perfect! Greg is a really good coach. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about teaching basketball. My 14 year old son was just a basic learner when he started taking lessons and after 5 months of coaching from Greg, he has improved immensely in his basketball game. He has learned many advanced techniques he was not aware of. Greg gives constructive feedback to the players which helps them focus on the skills they need to improve. Greg is a great coach for any basketball skill levels ranging from beginner to advanced. Would definitely recommend Greg whether you are looking for improving skills or starting at beginner level .

Greg is very knowledgeable, instructive and he communicates well with my 14 year old son. My son went from a 14 year old with almost no experience to being able to make his high school team. He loves the game of basketball and he wants to spread it with people of all ages who are interested. I highly recommend him.

Greg is a stand-up coach. From day one he recognized my ability and helped me start working on my weaknesses while adding to my strengths. When he shows me something new he breaks it down into easy-to-do steps. He is kind and pushes me to a level that helps me reach my goals without making me feel burnt out. I am grateful to have found Greg and would recommend him for both beginners and people who want to work on advanced techniques.

Greg was a wonderful coach for my son. He started with the basics (which were never taught when he started club basketball) and moved on from there at my son's pace. He made it fun and challenging at the same time. My son greatly improved with Greg's coaching and encouragement. He is extremely patient with the kids and makes it really fun for them. He built confidence in my son which he never had before. I cannot say enough positive things about Greg!
