The level of commitment he has towards the kids is undeniable.

My son has been training with Coach Smith for 7 months now and I can honestly say he is one of the best coaches around. The level of commitment he has towards the kids is undeniable. His knowledge of the game is extensive, and I constantly see him teaching the kids new techniques. If you have a child who is interested in basketball, you are someone who already plays the game, or you are trying to get ready for college or pro level, I highly recommend training with Coach Smith. My son walks away happy after each session with him and will talk about all the new techniques he learns. We are lucky to have him as a coach!

Lamont just takes it to a higher level.

All the coaches my boys have worked with the last few years have been excellent. Lamont just takes it to a higher level. His attention to detail on building skills is tremendous and he relays the right amount of encouragement with firmness. The boys respond to him and it is fun, as a parent, to see them improve under his guidance. It’s as if my 11 and 12-year-olds are getting high-level college coaching every session with Lamont! I encourage anyone who wants to learn how to properly play basketball to seek his instruction.
