dmarcil1919February 10, 2023If you are looking for the best basketball training program in the Los Angeles area, stop looking. Statham Academy is a world class basketball training program that offers aspiring athletes the opportunity to hone their skills and reach their full potential. The program is led by Head Coach Taylor Statham, who is a seasoned veteran in the world of professional basketball, both as a player and coach. This is an amazing opportunity to be coached by the same coach that coaches D1 level college and pro players. Coach Statham has a passion for basketball and an unwavering commitment to his players. He is dedicated to helping each and every player reach their full potential, both on and off the court. Whether you're a beginner, experienced player, or an elite athlete, Coach Statham has the skills and knowledge to help you take your game to the next level. The training program at Statham Academy is designed to be both challenging and rewarding. Coach Statham uses a variety of drills and exercises to help players develop their skills and improve their overall performance. He is an expert in breaking down the game into its fundamental components, and he is able to effectively communicate these concepts to his players. One of the things that sets Statham Academy apart from other basketball programs is the level of individual attention that each player receives. Coach Statham is always on hand to offer guidance and advice, and he takes the time to get to know each player on a personal level. This personalized approach allows him to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of each player, and to tailor the training program accordingly. In addition to the on-court training, Coach Statham also places a strong emphasis on the mental and emotional aspects of the game. He works with each player to help them develop a positive attitude, build their confidence, and overcome any obstacles they may encounter. His goal is to help each player develop into a well-rounded athlete who can perform at their best both on and off the court. The basketball training program at Statham Academy is the place to be for anyone who is serious about improving their game. Coach Taylor’s passion and commitment to his players is unmatched. If you're looking for a comprehensive training program that will help your athlete reach their full potential, look no further than Statham Academy. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is serious about basketball and wants to take their game to the next level.Laura PonceJanuary 13, 2023**BEST BASKETBALL TRAINING IN THE SCV** I don't even know where to start with the review to say how grateful I am to Taylor and his program. My son has loved basketball since he was three years old, but a natural player he was and is not. We went through rec ball for years, and yes it was fun and inexpensive, he was not LEARNING how to play. We signed him up for a different program, which was a great program, but my son was not responding to the coach's way of teaching as rapidly as I thought he could be. We thought maybe a change in coaching might help. We signed him up with Creators Basketball soon after and he immediately took to Coach Taylor. My son started private and group practices with Coach Taylor a little more than a year ago. My son's transformation, not only on the Court but his mental awareness of the game and his maturity level increased to a point that I never thought he could be, and it is all thanks to Coach Taylor. When Statham Academy was established last year, this gave us more opportunities for my son to learn in every aspect of the game. From Statham Academy league, to the camps and to the group and one on one training, my son has transformed into a kid that not only loves the game, but strives to be better every day for the game. I attribute all of this to Coach Taylor and his league. Now this review is all about the great things that Coach Taylor has done for my son, but he is not the only coach with this program. He has some other fantastic coaches all with a different coaching style that will fit any player's need to better themselves.Allex AustinJanuary 13, 2023Working alongside Statham Academy showed me a culture that buys into what is offered to student athletes. Student athletes show up ready to work hard and get better.Robert WahnonJanuary 12, 2023My son has been going to practices through the Academy for multiple months now. Coach Taylor is big on details of the game. He has a true understanding of basketball at a high-level and has high expectations for his players and holds his players to a high standard. I’ve seen great growth and development in my son through the months. Coach Taylor makes sure he pushes the kids in the program so they can reach their max potential. He also has a genuine care for each of his players that come through. I’ve seen him attend multiple games for his players. He knows exactly what buttons to push to keep the kids, motivated and focused on being their best. Highly recommend this to anyone that wants to have their kids playing at the highest level of basketball.Jonathan HakimJanuary 12, 2023Amazing League, Best Trainer and Basketball Environment in the Santa Clarita Valley.Brandon RobinsonJanuary 2, 2023Best trainer in SCV.

Appreciate you Taylor!Dylan AbabouDecember 6, 2022Taylor Statham is not only an amazing athlete & teammate, but also an amazing coach & mentor. He cares for his players & coaches from the heart. Statham Academy is one of the best training academies for all ages because the coaches there have high basketball IQ & experience.Andre TabnakNovember 21, 2022Parents, coaches, leaders of the community. Lend me your time to write about the magnificent Statham Academy Basketball Program. I have had the honor of watching this program develop into the player based and exceptional power house that it is now. The coaches are determined athletes who motivate the children to dig deep inside themselves and be their best version. Teamwork, accountability, and positive reinforcement are only but a few of the many principles that are implemented to introduce and increase our children into the wonderful game of Basketball. Being a veteran I am honored to the gratitude and appreciation I have personally received from the Staff and owner of Sthatham Academy.I have seen my children grow both athletically and socially as a direct result of their enrollment into the program. I have seen other children grow to accomplish wonderful things in their lives due to the support and commitment of their teams and participation. I cannot give this program the adequate recognition it deserves but all I can say is bring your children into practice. Witness the exchange of smiles and greetings of the fellow players and coaches, you will be amazed. Thank you Taylor for taking an interest in all of the players and their success. Your have created a community of parents and players United under love and support.JRV Kids BasketballOctober 24, 2022Coach Taylor is one of a kind!! Coach Taylor and his program are dedicated to developing players of all ages. My son is 11 years old and has been working with him over the past year and a half and his game has risen to a new level. His private workout sessions have my son going through higher level drills that help him expand his basketball IQ. My son has played the past 2 seasons in the Statham Academy and has gained confidence to lead his team in high pressure situations. Overall, Coach Taylor and his program are amazing and I’m so grateful for everything they have done for my son.Aaron LachapelleOctober 24, 2022I am incredibly fortunate and grateful that we started training with Taylor and his staff. My son has only been training with Taylor a few months and he is already more confident and exponentially more skilled than he was. Taylor truly cares for all the kids and is passionate about making everyone of them better. I would recommend Statham Academy to anyone looking to optimize their child’s potential in the game of basketball.
