Small Group Training

Intense group sessions that maximize growth through shared experience. Group training sessions are some of my most enjoyable sessions to run and, in my scientifically backed opinion, the most beneficial for the majority of players. These sessions allow me to put players in situations that closely mimic the game and train those skills in the most realistic, competitive, and fun environment possible. This allows players to not only train technical aspects of the game but all of the decision-making processes underlying those skills as well. These style of workouts are exactly what will lead to game transfer so these players can ensure the work they are putting in will pay off when it matters, the game.

NATASHA HOWARD

3x WNBA CHAMPION, DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR,

MIP Player of the Year, All-Star

"I have been training with Justice for nearly four years now, and I can confidently say that he has been instrumental in my growth as a professional athlete. Not only does Justice possess an incredible amount of energy and enthusiasm that is infectious, but he has also become like family to me.


His dedication to helping me improve my basketball skills and abilities has been unwavering. With his expert guidance, personalized workouts, and unwavering support, I have seen significant progress in my game over the years.


Beyond just being a trainer, Justice has been a good friend to me. His encouragement and belief in my potential have pushed me to work harder and strive for excellence both on and off the court.


I am truly grateful for all the time, effort, and expertise that Justice has invested in my development as a basketball player. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to take their game to the next level. Thank you, Justice, for everything you have done and continue to do for me!"

TESTIMONIAL

ROYCE PARHAM

Marquette Freshman

"Justice has been an incredible mentor and coach for Royce, really going above and beyond. He has been working with my son for the past 5 years. From day one he was all in on Royce’s development. He understood the assignment and turned him into a Division 1 basketball player. His growth and improvement did not happen overnight. We put in many hours and days with Justice. He put Royce thru extremely hard workouts and did not let him go thru the motions. Justice has also become part of our family. The relationship they’ve built, not only on the court but off it, is special. It’s rare to find someone so committed to a player's growth, both athletically and personally. Royce looks up to him as an older brother and feels extremely comfortable around him.


The fact that he’s been with Royce for so many years and continues to stay involved, even after Royce has moved on to play at a high level, says a lot about his character and dedication."

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say

"A great Coach and Trainer! Justice explored strengths & weaknesses well in my son's game, enhancing his talents. His knowledgeable approach to basketball and skilled-minded workouts has made my son's game better each training session, immensely. My once semi-skilled, mild-playing child, with house cat-like instincts now plays with the heart of a lion on the court. Thanks to Coach Justice, MY SON'S A BEAST! Keep up the good work!!"

Tony Harris

Parent of Athlete

"Coach Justice has been working with my son for the past year and the improvement in his skills has been amazing. Justice combines intensity and positivity in every workout to create a truly unique workout experience. Justice challenges my son to learn new skills and perfect old ones. Justice does not allow his players to do drills incorrectly and makes them repeat a drill until it is done properly. My son loves working with Justice and looks forward to his workouts every week."

Ryan Miller

Athlete

"In practices and there is no wasted time. He works more on advancing fundamentals, than running set plays - which is great. My son was on Justice's team for the 2019 spring and summer AAU sessions. I feel my son greatly improved his basketball skill set. Starting in the fall of 2019, I started to send my son to Justice for small individual workouts. I was so impressed with him that I sent my oldest son to Justice as well (he was 14 at the time). Justice is always flexible to get these sessions in - we have had sessions at multiple gyms in the area because Justice is so well connected to the community. These sessions consist of both basketball and cardio training (dribbling, passing, shooting, footwork). Both of my sons really enjoy the sessions with Justice - they know he will make them better players. I would recommend Justice to work with any youth program or individuals. I have seen him work with ages 8 thru 18."
