Here is where your child has an opportunity to learn the essential skills for basketball in an upbeat, uplifting, and positive environment. Itā€™s Coach Gorrillaā€™s #1 goal to make sure your child feels welcome, safe, and excited about learning the game. Whether itā€™s Skills and Play or our official K-4 League, players will learn every skill with age appropriate drills lead by Coach Gorrilla as well as through mini-games that foster fun, active, and transferable learning.

A LOOK INSIDE

THE PLAYING EXPERIENCE

ā€œAs a parent of a young girl who loves the game of basketball, I quickly realized there were limited opportunities for her to develop her skills outside of practicing at home.  We are so thankful we found Coach Gorrilla and Be Who You Strive To Be Basketball Training. Most importantly for kids this age, he makes basketball fun for the kids and you can see their love of the game grow with how he approaches training. At the same time, he focuses on fundamental skill development to help build player confidence. Lastly, I love how Coach Gorilla has these younger kids play in 3v3 situations to learn not only the game of basketball but what it means to be a team player. I would highly recommend you sending your child to Coach Gorrilla.ā€

  • ā€œWeā€™ve been attending Mr. Gā€™s leagues and camps for the past 2 years now. Our 6 year old has gone from needing to just run around on a Sunday morning to being completely basketball obsessedā€¦in the best way! Mr. G does an incredible job at creating the perfect balance of fun and skill during his time with the kids. He knows exactly what kids need and can handle at each age group. He also has evolved his time to cater to the needs of his campersā€¦ie; moving to more 3v3 play or adjusting the seriousness of play/participation. we are super excited to stick with Mr. G throughout both of our sonā€™s basketball journeys as we know he provides so many opportunities to learn and grow within the game.ā€

  • ā€œCoach Gorrilla is absolutely incredible! Ther relationship he fosters with his students and athletes is so special. My kids absolutely adore him and their day is made when they see him. He goes out of his way to make the kids feel special which is critical at a young age ā€” whether in school or on the court. Because of this bond, he can get the best out of his athletes on the court. He uses that connection to help each athlete reach their full potential and celebrates them at whatever level they may be. We are so grateful for Coach Gorrilla and know he is making a difference in the lives of our children ā€” both on and off the court.ā€

  • Coach Gorrilla is exceptional when it comes to working with my children. He really knows how to teach at their level and make it fun all while improving their basketball game. My Kindergarten boys look forward to Basketball Sundays and my 3rd grader loves his 1:1 training with him. I can't recommend him enough!
