If you are looking for a standard basketball program where kids just do a few generic drills and jump straight into a game, this isn’t it—and that’s exactly what makes it so incredible. Coach Shaker runs a highly impactful program that focuses deeply on the fundamentals, especially dribbling, teaching kids the true value of honing in on a specific skill.

The flexibility of the program is fantastic. You buy a block of hours and can show up whenever it works for your schedule until they are used, which is incredibly convenient compared to rigid traditional schedules.

What really blew me away, though, was the culture Coach Shaker has built. My son was one of the youngest, smallest, and least developed players in his session, but instead of being left behind, Coach Shaker utilized the advanced players to mentor him. These older kids took my son under their wing, stayed with him through the intense drills, and showed true leadership. It was amazing to watch.

On top of the top-tier coaching, it’s a program with a massive heart. Coach Shaker sells apparel and uses proceeds to help fund opportunities for kids who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford it.

This is an exceptional, community-minded basketball program that builds both skilled athletes and great leaders.  

We will definitely be back!
