My teaching style is to create a fun and safe learning environment for the student. Give the student the foundation and tools to create his/her own unique skill set. I am energetic and highly motivating and want to get the best out of each student. There is something special in each student and it is my job to bring that out of them. Most importantly let's have fun learning. 

This class will form the foundation for ball handling skills for the student/athlete and prepare them for their school teams or AAU teams. Each fundamental exercise in class will entail detailed instruction and demonstration from Coach Ashton. After the demonstration the students will be asked to complete the task as the teacher vocally corrects, encourages, and guides. This lesson may be conducted in home or outside. Students encouraged to enable their video so Coach Ashton can observe, correct, and motivate. 

The class will be very intimate and engaging. Students will get the opportunity towards the end of class to ask me any questions about what was taught during the session and I will give feedback and tips.
No prior experience is needed, just your passion, hard-work, dedication, and willingness to learn. This is a great opportunity to gain knowledge about the game of basketball.
