Basketball Training in Kensington Maryland

How Ness Basketball Elevates Your Game

Our Clarksburg basketball training programs provide purposeful development, expert mentoring, and focused skill instruction that help players grow quickly and play with greater confidence.

Skills Training Designed for Individual Growth

Players work on essential fundamentals including shooting precision, ball handling, footwork improvement, and finishing through drills tailored to their skill level and individual goals.

Developing Game Sense and Decision Skills

We emphasize basketball IQ — teaching players how to read defenses, anticipate plays, and make smart, confident decisions during competition.

Practice Support Beyond Sessions

Every athlete receives a personalized at‑home training plan to reinforce lessons learned during coaching and support progress between sessions.

Training Formats for Every Development Stage

Whether you choose focused one‑on‑one coaching or energetic group classes, our training options are structured to build real skills and boost game performance.

What is our Goal?

As a committed basketball trainer, my #1 priority is results—no exceptions. Every program I run is built to help athletes become more confident, skilled, and game-ready. As a parent, you want your child to succeed and rise above the competition. When an athlete fully commits, my training system will deliver exactly that.

WHat Type of Athletes Are We Looking For?

Players with the following traits
We love working with players that have these 2 main traits: a love for the game and a desire to get better. Improvement is inevitable for athletes that carry these 2 traits while buying into our training philosophies. Halfway committed players and players that have a slight interest in basketball can still improve through my program but their results come slower and are less dramatic than those that have unquestionable dedication to our process.

As players gain measurable improvements in skills and decision‑making, their confidence naturally grows — enabling better performance and leadership on the court.

How does my Basketball Training program work?

Kensington Basketball Training - Ness Basketball

Elite Basketball Skills Training in a Structured, Focused Environment
Our group basketball training program offers high-level, technical instruction in a consistent and disciplined setting. Each session, players train for one hour at a set time, with intense, skill-specific basketball instruction that sets the tone for the entire week. This focused environment promotes real, measurable growth for every athlete.

Hoops Journal – Player Accountability and Basketball IQ Development
During every session, athletes are required to document their key takeaways in a Hoops Journal, helping them understand not just what to work on, but also how to apply it during real game situations. This builds ownership, awareness, and basketball IQ—crucial traits for long-term development.

At-Home Drills and Skill-Specific Homework
To accelerate progress outside the gym, players receive a detailed homework plan of basketball drills tailored to their individual needs. These drills are designed to target and improve weaknesses each week. At the start of each session, players are tested on their at-home work to ensure continuous improvement.

Group Basketball Training with Daily Progress Tracking
For those enrolled in our group basketball classes, daily development tracking is mandatory. Players log their progress in the Hoops Journal and align it with our basketball academy’s weekly goals and homework plans. This holistic approach ensures long-term growth and transformation on and off the court.

Are you ready for the next step?

After completing the form below, I'll be in touch to set up a brief call.

The goal of this call is to learn more about your child’s strengths, current challenges, and basketball goals so I can determine how our private basketball training program can best support their development. If it’s the right fit, we’ll move forward with an evaluation session. If not, I’ll recommend another program or academy that may be better aligned with your child’s needs.
