Basketball Training in Kensington Maryland

What Sets Ness Basketball Training Apart

Ness Basketball delivers more than just drills — we offer a system designed for lasting improvement. Our Kensington-based programs help players of all levels improve quickly and build the habits that create long-term success.

Customized Skill Building for Every Player

Athletes train through structured drills focused on shooting form, ball control, footwork, and finishing moves—customized to meet their individual needs and pace of development.

Smarter Play Through Basketball IQ Training

We coach players to understand the game, make quicker reads, and respond confidently during real-game situations — elevating both performance and awareness.

Structured Practice Plans Beyond the Court

Each athlete is assigned personalized at-home workouts to keep their momentum going between sessions. Weekly progress is tracked to reinforce consistency.

Flexible Training Options: Private & Group

Whether players prefer focused one-on-one attention or thrive in a high-energy group atmosphere, our training formats support both personal development and team-style learning.

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.

The Ness Basketball Approach to Player Development

At Ness Basketball, development is a process we commit to every day. We don’t chase quick fixes—we build better players over time. Our approach is built on four key principles:

Progress Through Repetition & Routine
Improvement comes with repetition and structure. Regular sessions help players form strong, lasting habits.
Ownership of Effort and Growth
We empower athletes to take ownership of their training, tracking their progress both during sessions and on their own.
Skills That Translate to Real Game Play
We train for performance, not just practice. Every drill connects to real game play so players can execute under pressure.
Building Confidence Through Proven Progress
As skills develop, so does confidence. Our players gain the mindset and ability to lead and perform when it matters most.

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.
