My son has been training with Coach Rodney & Chipchasin Hoops for 5+ years and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. Rodney is really able to connect with young players and shows incredible insight and attention to detail in the training sessions. He and my son talk about recent his recent performances and his struggles and goals. He even comes out to watch him play. Using that, information, it seems Rodney then develops a growth plan that is specifically tailored to my son’s game. Each session seems to build logically and systematically on a specific skill or skill set that is the focus of that days training, progressing from proper warm-up and stretching, through fundamentals and daily best practices, to to more complicated drills. All of his drills stem from real in-game situations that he explains to the player. Instead of teaching ‘moves’ and set attacks, etc., Rodney challenges the player to visualize and learn how to read and react, which, in my opinion, allows players to play more freely while developing their own style and feel for the game. He doesn’t just teach a move and a counter, but how to move and when to counter and what on the court, opponent or teammate to read to make those decisions. The drills are also goal-oriented which force my son to compete with himself to hit the marks and offer him a sense of accomplishment when he does. My son plays a tremendous amount of basketball but regardless of what shape he is in, whether it is mid-season or off-season, Rodney’s workouts push him just enough and he is completely wiped out when he leaves - dripping with sweat and sore but happy and feeling like he is improving. The results have been clear. Over the course of his time with Chip Chasin’ my son’s game has truly grown and his scoring average, defensive effort and IQ have noticeably grown. He’s balling right now! Big thanks to Rodney and his program. I suggest anyone, who really wants to transform their game and grow within the sport, get with him ASAP.
