Basketball Basics was founded in 2006 in Spring Lake.  While the majority of the players and families we work with are along Michigan's Lakeshore, we are pretty mobile.  Please inquire.

Our primary location is now in Ferrysburg.  The address is 17290 Roosevelt Rd, Ferrysburg, MI  49409 

 

NOTE: Individual, 1 on 1 instruction, small group or shooting clinics can be run at your home gym if permitted access.  Please call/e-mail if you'd like to set up a session.   There is no stronger, more detailed, more precise instruction anywhere.  More about our approach and background here.  

 

Please note we only permit 12-16 players in the gym at any one time.    We believe a lot can be accomplished with one strong coach and a limited number of kids.  Our core values and approach to the game can be found at this link.

If our organization is new to you, please take a moment and see what other parents, players and coaches say about us.

Strong High School players who have the ambition, skill and grades to play at the college level should investigate our Player Profile Service.  We have graduates playing at the college level.  

I always encourage communication the old fashioned way, to simply call and talk to me.  My contact info is below.  I hope to meet you soon and have the opportunity to work with your children.
