Testimonials
R2G has significantly benefited my child, Jacob Miller, thanks to Coach Kentrell and Coach Steve. They accurately evaluate his needs during training sessions. Their consistent weekly training and one-on-one time with players are incredibly effective. Sometimes, children need a different voice besides "Dad" to guide them. I've been coaching my son since he was two, shooting on a small plastic rim with a Nerf ball, but it’s invaluable to have others who genuinely care about helping kids reach the next level in their game. Great job, coaches! Keep up the excellent work!
Road 2 Greatness Basketball Academy has significantly improved my 9-year-old son's basketball skills over the past year. Despite being ambidextrous, his left hand was his weak side in basketball. Thanks to R2G, he has developed strong dribbling and shooting skills with both hands. The academy has boosted his confidence, and he genuinely enjoys the sessions. The professional coaches keep parents well-informed about events and training opportunities. If your child loves basketball, R2G is an excellent way to help them develop their skills and excel in the sport! Sincerely, A Pleased Parent!
Basketball isn’t my son’s top focus, as he’s involved in many activities. But since joining R2G, I’ve seen big strides in his development. Coaches Steve and Kentrell are fully engaged and attentive to each kid’s skill level. After every practice, my son either picks up a new skill or sharpens something he needed to improve. The kids are great, and it’s a positive environment.
Thank you for everything you've done to help Kai grow as a confident player! You all ensure the game is taught in a way that celebrates successes and clearly points out opportunities for improvement. The balance of praise and guidance has made a big difference.
R2G Basketball has been one of the best opportunities for my son. The coaches place a strong emphasis on the fundamentals, which is something I really value. My son, King, has been with R2G for the past two years, and in that time, I’ve seen remarkable progress in his skills and understanding of the game. The attention to detail and commitment from the coaches have helped him develop both his strengths and areas where he needed improvement. It’s clear how much they care about each player’s growth, and I’m grateful for all they’ve done. Keep up the great work, R2G!
