"Oh James, you’ve been amazing! For an 10 year old to want to get up early to attend a club speaks volumes! Thank you for all you have done x"

"Thanks for helping her confidence! She loves bball and a lot of it is because you help each child realise their potential." 

"Hi James, just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to you for the opportunity you created in basketball for both Harper and Harrison over the years while in Ravenscote. They have both loved your club and was never any pressure from us to go ever! Harper is going to miss it as she was really enjoying the games you've been doing and can see its had a positive effect on her team working and confidence skills. Thanks again! 🏀"

"Hi James, 

George has absolutely loved Basketball this year, thank you so much!! He can't wait to start back again in Sept 😊

I hope you've taken a moment to reflect and give yourself a pat on the back for the work that you do ❤️ You've inspired so many young people and done a brilliant job instilling the fundamentals and helping them fall in love with the game. And on top of that there is the discipline and work ethic you've nurtured that all of them, regardless of they continued to play or not, will carry with them through life.  Well done you xx"

"Just a quick hello to say a big thank you for all the time and effort you've put in to delivering amazing basketball sessions for Imogen over the past few years. I remember when she found the early sessions really tricky on first joining, but she has grown in confidence so much under your tuition, and that's been amazing to see. She and we are sad to see this phase come to a close and she’s going to miss her Friday basketball sessions with you, but the confidence and the basketball skills are going to stay with her forever. Thanks for everything you've done!"

"What started as a ‘give it a go’ school club for something he’d never tried before, has turned into his favourite sport, which is in no small part due to you. He’s loved being part of the club throughout his primary school years, so thank you for all the fun, energy and drive you have brought."

 

"Thank you so much for everything you have done for Luis and for Zuri over the years. Quite honestly without you they wouldn’t have developed the love of basketball they have now! I credit you for so much of how they progressed! Given the start was in the garden during covid restrictions. I cannot express how grateful I am for you doing what you do."

"I really do believe that the adults that surround your kids are pivotal in their lives. Parents become such a small influence over time. Having awesome people in their lives makes a monumental difference! You are making a huge impact on 100’s of lives ever year don’t ever forget that! I’m sure you remember how important your best teachers were for you. You are that for so so many kids! And by default are a huge part of so many families."

"As you know, Charlie has absolutely adored being part of your class over the years. It’s his favourite after school club by a mile. Basketball will forever enrich his life, whether he’s playing it, watching it or making friends just talking about it. Endless value. Thank you."

"James, thank you so much for your leadership - you are a great role model and I know Zac has loved his sessions with you playing basketball. He has even shared tips with me about how to improve my shots at home!"

"You’re a phenomenal trainer and a very inspiring person to be around. You manage to make each child feel seen, understood and encouraged even in such an energetic environment. The respect you command and manners you expect teaches the children lessons beyond the court and I know Lorelei tried her hardest in your sessions because she wants to make you proud of her."

"George wasn’t sure if he even liked basketball at the beginning, but you were and are a great and inspirational coach, so he loves it now!"

"What I have heard from other parents and I can see, you’re a caring, lovely man, who loves his job training the children. My son enjoyed your training.

Thank you from a very happy mum."

"I just want to say thank you for all your years of Basketball with my children!! None of them have been naturals but they have all loved being coached by you as you make it so much fun and inclusive for all abilities."

"Can I just take the opportunity to thank you. Eva has huge issues with confidence and self esteem and she has really struggled with this. Since she joined KBB she absolutely loves it. It is the first sport (we have tried many) that she LOVES doing and won't miss. So, thank you! I must share this with you as it really has changed things for her!"

"Austin really enjoys the sessions and is the only day he doesn’t complain about getting up in the morning – even though it is for a 7.45am start!"

"As you know they both LOVED your club and were raring to get in for 7.45 on a Thursday which doesn’t happen on the other 4 days of the week 😂."

“My two always look forward to Thursdays because of basketball. Its really nice for me to see they are doing a sport which they actually enjoy. All thanks to you for teaching them and engaging them so well!”
