Testimonials
R2G has definitely benefited my child Jacob Miller due to the involvement of Coach Kentrell & Coach Steve, because they know what he needs to work on by evaluating him through the training sessions. By being consistent every week and spending time with players one on one is what is helping the most. Sometimes your child needs another voice in his ear besides "Dad" guiding him on how it's done. I've been training and coaching my son since he was 2yrs old shooting on the little plastic rim with the nurf ball. But it's always good to have someone else who also cares about seeing the kids get to the next level by helping to develop their game. Good jobs guys. Keep up the good work.
Road 2 Greatness Basketball Academy has really helped my 9 yr old son develop an array of skills in basketball. My son has been attending the training academy for over a year now and I can see a drastic change/improvement! My son is ambidextrous (can use both hands) he oddly writes with his left hand and eats with his right hand. Although he writes with his left hand it was his weak side when it came to basketball! R2G has worked with my son with dribbling and shooting skills which has him have the ability to be strong with both his right & left hand. The academy has built up my son's confidence in a positive perspective and he really loves to attend the sessions. The coaches are very professional and are really good at keeping the parents updated on upcoming events, additional training, etc... If you have a child girl/boy that has a LOVE for basketball, R2G is a great way to help your child develop the skills needed to excel in the sport they LOVE and be GREAT!! Sincerely, A Pleased Parent!
Basketball isn’t the first thing on my son's mind. He is involved in so many other things, but since going to R2G I have seen big strides in his development. Both coaches Steve and Kentrell are fully engaged and attentive to each kid's skill level. My son comes out of every practice with a new skill or has sharpened up something he needed improvement on. All the kids are great and it’s a good environment.
Thank you for all you have done in helping Kai to become a more confident player! You all make sure to teach the game in a way that praises success as well as points out the opportunities for them to be better!
R2G basketball is one of the best things that could’ve happened for my son. They put a lot of focus on the fundamentals of the game, which is big for me. My son King has shown great improvement over the last 2 years working with R2G basketball. Keep up the good work.
