★★★★★Lina & Milan HaileyI believe it has been divinely intended for us to have been connected to Tamar Slay and his amazing team of trainers. Right now, I have my 9 year old enrolled in this program and am planning on enrolling my 8 year old very soon. One of the things I have continually heard Coach Slay tell these young athletes is to ‘pay attention to the details’. The challenge for every athlete is the ability to bring the skills they have learned - on to the court. This intense, detail driven program, along with the encouragement, push and fun learning, has given my girl the confidence to do just that. My experience: When athletes have the correct training, they build confidence. When they have confidence they produce great things. I plan on Slay Basketball, playing a major role in seeing my girls thru college, as they address the complete player, mind as well as body. I highly recommend this program for any athlete parent who has a child with the will, drive and passion for the game. You will not be disappointed✨
★★★★★John Michael VeltriCoach Slay brings passion and dedication to teaching our youth the game of basketball. He brings a fantastic resume that spans a career both in the NBA and the International game. If you want your child to learn from the best you have to sign them up to be taught by the best. My boys always learn and have fun while working with Coach Slay and his team and thats whats most important to me!
★★★★★Steven DoweI highly recommend Slay Basketball training/TSB,the training and mentoring that my son Justin has received over the many years has been excellent!! The program starts at to the top with Tamar. Super guy on and off the court. He builds relationships with the kids and the parents that are so appreciated. Great basketball program , and just a wonderful family. It’s been an incredible experience watching Coach Tamar share his vast knowledge of basketball with every level of athlete. #TrustTheProcess
★★★★★Robert NetherlandTamar Slay basketball has been a great experience for my son. He teaches more than basketball fundamentals and skills. Slay genuinely cares about the kids and teaches life skills such as education, teamwork, hard work, determination and sportsmanship.
