Close the Gate hoops has been a great opportunity for my son to develop his passion for the game of basketball. The coaching staff is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and engaging for any age. The instruction and coaching they provide is targeted and high-level based on the kids’ developmental level. My 6-yr. old is the youngest CTG player, and Coach Jack didn’t hesitate to take the chance on him. When I asked Jack about the opportunity for my son, he responded “I’ve never had a player that young, but let’s give it a shot!” This response embodies the mission and vision Jack has for all his players….chase failure. I so appreciate that Jack took that opportunity, because my son absolutely loves it and is growing each session. Thanks for all you do Coach Jack and the CTG coaching staff! If you haven’t considered it, I highly recommend CTG… you won’t be disappointed.

Our family has been with CTG since the very beginning. When we first joined, five years ago, our main goal was to give our 6th grade son, at the time, more basketball experience that he was craving. Little did we realize that he would gain much more than basketball skills, but real life lessons that involved learning a good work ethic, self-reflection and teamwork. CTG has provided quality basketball training for our three sons starting with Tony and now with Jack. As a family we continue to be impressed with the level of skill development that is being taught with trainers that also consider character to be a crucial attribute, as well as, the innovative techniques that link basketball to everyday life. We would highly recommend CTG for serious basketball players that want to increase their competitive edge through elite basketball coaching.

Joining CTG is one of those decisions I look back on and acknowledge that my game, my body and my mind would not be the same without it. It has given me a sense of structure, balance and growth. CTG is so much more than basketball. Walking into my first session, I truly did not know how much of an impact Jack would have on my life. I learn something new from him every single session, and apply it immediately. Beyond grateful for the CTG experience.

Close the Gate has been a wonderful experience for our son. Coach Jack and Coach Aaron get into the details of the skills. But it is not just the amazing coaching, it’s the life lessons that CTG provides. Making every day count, working hard at everything you do, and being a good person… these are the lessons they teach everyday in motivational emails, social media posts and podcasts. It is truly inspiring. We couldn’t ask for a better role mode for our son! Keep up the amazing work!!.

Close The Gate Hoops has been great! Not only is the program about teaching techniques/skills, but also the mental aspect of the game. In addition to the coach’s deep knowledge of the sport, they are also great role models for the kids. We would definitely recommend the program!

Jack and Aaron have been wonderful in the development of our 11 year old. We have been enrolled for over a year now and its the favorite part of his week. We highly recommend for all youth no matter the talent level.

Close the gate’s podcast Off the Court has inspired me to be a better version of myself each day. I don’t even play basketball and CTG is still making an impact on my life.

He learned so much about improving his shot,foot work,defense!The positive environment that Jack has provided may be the most important part.I saw my sons enthusiasm and attitude change for the better.Thank you for caring so much about these kids/athletes.

Out of all the things we have done. This has been the most resourceful,positiveand rewarding . I absolutely love the positive vibes here. It has definitely stuck with us on and off the court.

My son started with Coach Jack and Aaron in January. Since then I feel he has found the joy in basketball again. I am looking forward to see where this takes him.

I have been doing Close the Gate for a while now, and I feel it has improved my game to a whole new level. The environment it great and it’s always a fun time and a great workout..

Close the gate has really made me a better player on and off the basketball court. I’ve been there for awhile and all i’ve seen is improvements, it’s really a great place to send anyone who was to pursue basketball.

CTG hoops is a great place to further your basketball skills at any age. All of the coaches are highly skilled players and know how to make you better as a player and as a person. I recommend the training sessions and the youtube videos @Close The Gate Hoops

My son has learned more from the summer basketball camp than he has at any other program. They not only teach him the skills for on the court, but also really important life skills. He has been so motivated to get out and practice every day. I highly recommend this program for any skill level. The coaches should be very proud of themselves.

CTG Hoops is a top notch organization. The staff is respectful, organized, and hardworking to help youth that want to work and get better at the game of basketball. They also go above and beyond to teach life lessons. The basketball community is lucky to have CTG Hoops as a resource!

Close The Gate has been great for my daughter learning about basketball. With no prior experience the training got her up to speed quick and has quickly grown to enjoy the game. Not only will this camp teach basketball skills, Jack has also made it a point to be a better person in whatever you do – highly recommend to anyone either highly skilled or just beginning.
