Balaban Basketball runs a summer basketball camp in Northbrook built around three-hour sessions that focus on one specific skill each day. The main camp runs Monday-Friday, 9:00am-12:00pm, at 600 Waukegan Road from early June through late August, and is sold in blocks from one week up to eight weeks, with a drop-in option of up to five days. A separate outdoor afternoon session, 1:00-3:00pm, covers the fundamentals needed for high school basketball and rotates between Hawthorne Glen Park in Glenview and South School in Glencoe. The program also offers small-group and private training, and states its values as love, honesty, thankfulness and energy.

★★★★★Georgia MaloneFinding a good coach is extremely important. An excellent coach not only works to grow skill level, but contributes immensely to building character, work ethic, positive attitude and confidence that will undoubtedly spill over to all aspects of life and stay with a child into adulthood. Coach Balaban is this coach – he does all this while fostering love of the game!
★★★★★MichelleCoach Balaban is truly one of a kind. Not only is he an amazing coach, but he’s an incredible person. He is personable, easy to talk to, and makes both my daughter and I feel completely comfortable every time we see him. My daughter has built such a strong bond with him that she wants him to be her coach for as long as he’ll have her! She has grown so much in basketball because of Coach Balaban. She’s only 7, but the confidence, skill, and love for the game that he’s helped her develop is unbelievable. She did summer camp with him and continues to train with him every Sunday and every single session has been a positive experience. I can’t say enough good things about him. I'm so grateful for the impact he’s had on my daughter. Highly recommend!
★★★★★Nicolas KoliasCan’t say enough good things about Stef and his skills coaching, coaching and guidance of our daughter. Our daughter is in high school and has been with Stef little over a year. Her game has changed significantly! Stef teaches every aspect of the game! Skills, game plan, how to think in the game during in game situations. We have gotten allot of compliments about how much she has improved! Thanks to Stef!!!! He has strengthened and developed our daughter’s game in every aspect and she continues to grow and get better and better. Her confidence has grown leaps and bounds. From being timid to now confident and aggressive. Stef has done all this and so much more! Stef is easy to talk to and the kids adapt well with him. Couldn’t have discovered a better coach and skills trainer for our daughter. We are TRULY blessed and I know our daughter loves training with Stef and looks forward to every session.
★★★★★N J GMy boys have been working with Coach Stefan for a few months now. His prices are very reasonable and he has been flexible with training locations. Stefan does a great job relating to my kids, and pushes them very hard. At the conclusion of every practice, the kids are wiped, as I would expect them to be. His talent assessment was spot on and he tailored his training sessions accordingly. There has been marked improvement with my boys' basketball skills, reinforcing my belief that this was time and money well spent.
★★★★★Stacie M BrettnerCoach Stefan is AMAZING! He got to know my son right away and pushes him to be the best player he can be. He runs great drills and knows his basketball. My son enjoys each session he has with coach and I know my son is getting better each time around. He has a great relationship with all players and is a very professional coach!
