Basketball Training in Kensington Maryland

Why Athletes Succeed with Ness Basketball

Our Rockville training programs go beyond ordinary workout sessions — they provide focused skill progression, game understanding, and personalized coaching that translates to real results on the court.

Customized Skill Advancement

Players refine key fundamentals like shooting accuracy, ball control, efficient footwork, and finishing with drills designed specifically for their experience level and goals.

Enhanced Game Understanding

We help athletes develop strong basketball IQ — learning to read defenses, anticipate plays, and make confident decisions under pressure.

Training Reinforcement at Home

Every player receives a tailored practice plan to use outside of sessions, reinforcing new skills and maintaining progress between workouts.

Individual & Group Training Formats

Whether you prefer personalized one‑on‑one coaching or energetic group sessions, we offer both formats to support your development and competitive readiness.

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.

Our Training Philosophy

At Ness Basketball, we believe development is a daily habit, not a seasonal activity. Our approach is built around four key principles:

Consistency
Players improve through repetition, structure, and sustained weekly training.
Accountability
Every athlete is responsible for tracking their progress and effort — both in the gym and at home.
Game Transfer
We teach skills that translate directly to competitive situations — not just drills for show.
Confidence Through Mastery
As players build real, measurable skills, they develop the confidence needed to lead and perform 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.
