Private Coaching
For players of all ages and abilities, this is an opportunity to get one-to-one or small group sessions with Coach Gianni! Players will see great improvement while being pushed to their limits and having fun!
Coach Gianni will assess the player’s strengths and what needs improvement with input from the player and their parent(s).
This is suitable for all players (children to professional adults) who want to see their skills improve at an accelerated level.
Each session usually lasts one to two hours and will be held at PSU’s state-of-the-art Sports Complex.
Hoops4Health
With promoting a healthy lifestyle through basketball, Hoops4Health is geared towards encouraging players and kids to live a healthier and cleaner life!
This program will be available for local schools to allow our amazing coaches to introduce the game of basketball to children who may not have had the opportunity before.
By combining our 4 focuses of –
• Entry-level basketball skills
• Healthy eating habits
• Anti-smoking
• To encourage improved daily habits
Students will have the opportunity to learn the basics of basketball, learn more about healthier eating habits, and the negative effects of smoking, and improve their daily living habits.
A coach will then return to your school to provide follow-up basketball coaching sessions with the end goal to compete at an end-of-the-session tournament against other schools that will be held at PSU Sports Facility.
Coach Gianni led a similar program for his team in the United Kingdom (Cheshire Phoenix) that is still running successfully today.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Coach Gianni for information.
