Basketball Training in Kensington Maryland

Why Ness Basketball Training Works in Potomac

Our Potomac basketball development programs go beyond routine drills — they are crafted to help athletes improve consistently, make smarter plays, and build confidence through purposeful coaching.

Skills Tailored to Your Level

Players work on shooting precision, ball control, efficient footwork, and finishing moves through targeted drills designed to match their skill level and goals.

Building Game Awareness & Smart Decisions

We emphasize basketball intelligence, helping players read defenses, anticipate movement, and make confident, effective decisions during competitive play.

Supportive Training Beyond Sessions

Each athlete receives a customized at‑home practice plan that reinforces what’s learned in training and promotes consistent progress between sessions.

Personalized or Group‑Based Training Options

Whether you thrive with individual attention or prefer the energy of a group class, we offer both — each structured to enhance fundamental skills and overall 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.

Custom One‑on‑One Coaching

The Ness Basketball Approach to Development

At Ness Basketball, we believe real progress comes from consistency, accountability, and training that connects directly to court performance.

Confidence Through Observable Results
As players see measurable improvement, their confidence grows — helping them approach games with composure and leadership.

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.
