Powered by GoogleCoach Simmons has all the tools to build confidence in your young athlete. We vacationed in Hawaii from South Carolina and I didn’t want my son to stop training for over a week. I contacted Coach Simmons he was very flexible with our family’s vacation schedule, and he provided 1 on 1 training that was extremely valuable. My son really gravitated to his training style and in such a short period of time we both saw major improvements with his jump shoot and dribbling. If you are local or.visiting from out of town I highly recommend booking a training session .
During our recent vacation in Honolulu, I had the pleasure of enrolling my 10-year-old son in Coach Simmons' basketball training. We were impressed by his high level of professionalism and genuine passion for the sport. Coach Simmons conducted a thorough evaluation of my son's skills and focused on addressing his weaknesses. He also provided a variety of tools and techniques to help him improve efficiently. My son shares Coach Simmons' passion for basketball, and they quickly developed a strong connection that felt more like a friendship than a coaching relationship. We can confidently say that Coach Simmons is the best coach we have ever encountered. We feel fortunate to have found him, and my son is already looking forward to training with him again on our next trip to the island.
I recently went on a work trip to Hawaii and I tagged my 15y/o son along, for a few days he got bored and was missing his friends whom he plays basketball with here in the Philippines. And then I found 808 Hoops Training online and decided to have my kid trained by Coach Simmons while we were there. Not only did my son loved training with Coach Simmons, he was looking forward to it everytime he had a schedule with him. It made my son more skilled and driven, because not only did Coach Simmons train him for his basketball skills, but also about teamwork, camaraderie.. Which infact is a major factor in any team sport. Now my son is facebook friends with Coach Simmons and all the other kids he met that were also being trained during the 2 months that we were in HI. Not only did he gained more knowledge and skills in basketball, but he also gained friends he looks forward to meeting again on our next visit.
I signed my son Ocean for a private session with coach Simmons and now I am glad to say that he has found his sport. For the past decade I’ve been signing Ocean up for many sports football, soccer, golf, you name it. He never found his love for any sports, until he met Coach Simmons. He gave my son the love for basketball I am so grateful to Coach Simmons for his dedication, passion, and love to the sport and his mission to the kids. If you don’t know how to play basketball or wish to improve on your skills, I highly recommend Coach Simmons.
Both my children really enjoyed coach Simmons workout. We found him on IG. My kids thought it was challenging at first but came home everyday talking about they’re “sore” ahaha I highly recommend going with coach simmons not only will he develop your kids skills he will also teach them discipline in and out of the courts. They both now have a better understanding of what is needed to really develop their game.
