Basketball Training in Kensington Maryland

Why Ness Basketball Training Works in Olney

Our Olney basketball training programs offer structured development, expert instruction, and practical skill application to help players train smarter and perform better under pressure.

Skills Progression Customized to You

Players work on fundamental mechanics like shooting accuracy, ball control, agile footwork, and finishing skills — all through drills designed specifically for their ability and goals.

Strengthening Game Awareness & Strategy

We emphasize basketball intelligence, teaching players how to read defenses, anticipate movements, and make smarter decisions in competitive situations.

Continued Learning Beyond Sessions

Each athlete receives a tailored at‑home practice plan so they can reinforce new skills and progress steadily in between training sessions.

Training Available in Individual and Group Formats

Whether you choose personalized one‑on‑one coaching or team‑style group sessions, both formats are structured to help you elevate your game and build lasting confidence.

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 Player Growth Philosophy

At Ness Basketball, we view player development as a journey — one that requires consistent practice, accountability, and training that translates directly to real game performance.

Building Strong Fundamentals Through Practice
Regular, structured sessions help players form effective habits that carry over into game situations.

Player Responsibility for Progress
We encourage athletes to take ownership of their development by tracking improvements, effort, and goals both in practice and at home.

Game‑Ready Skills in Every Drill
Every exercise and coaching cue is selected to prepare players for real competitive environments — not just practice scenarios.

Confidence Grows from Measurable Improvement
As athletes see tangible progress in their skills and decision‑making, their confidence naturally increases — helping them perform with poise under pressure.

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.
