Powered by GoogleThis is an amazing Academy. The coaches turn developing players into basketball junkies.
My son started working with James at REL only a few months ago. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in skills; but more so, I’ve noticed a growth in self-confidence, dedication, and in the knowledge of the intricacies of the sport of basketball. The seriousness and attention to the details of a “perfect” shot, ball handling, play with and away from the ball, defensive nuances, and the intellect of the game are always being addressed. ALL the coaches are wonderful role models for my son. He loves the gym, the sport, and the challenge of the game...all thanks to James, Tiger, and Reese.
My son has been coming to REL for 8 months now and it has been amazing watching him develop as a player. James, Tiger, and Reese give these kids the personal attention a regular setting can’t provide and the results speak for themselves. My son looks forward to his time at REL everyday and he’s gotten faster and stronger and more skilled. I highly recommend REL Academy to any kid who loves basketball and is willing to put in the work!
Top notch training !
