The Best Private basketball Coaches in Poway for Individual, Group, or Team Lessons

Gene and Elaine Williams, both college sports alumni and dedicated private coaches, founded Athletes Untapped to connect families with trusted private trainers for one-on-one coaching. After enjoying years of coaching themselves, they realized a tool to help coaches scale—like Airbnb for rentals—was missing. Drawing on their passion for sports and tech, they launched AU to fill that gap. Their goal is to help millions of young athletes thrive by providing easy access to impactful coaching that shapes not just skills but also future opportunities.

Private Basketball Coaches in Poway, CA

Located in northeast San Diego County, Poway is known as “The City in the Country”. The community offers a diverse range of housing options, a thriving business park, beautiful parks and an outstanding school district. Poway is a great place to live, work, and play! That is why Athletes Untapped is live in the Poway market, helping parents find private basketball coaches! Our coaches are available for individual or group lessons. If you’re really looking to improve your game and build confidence, private coaching is the way to go.

Basketball Coaching for Youth & Adults in Poway, CA

Private basketball coaching for youth and adults offers one of the best ways to improve your game. Sometimes, it can be difficult to access quality private instruction. With Athletes Untapped, you can get the one-on-one private lessons you need to achieve your true potential. 

Impacting Lives Through Basketball Lessons in Poway, CA

Athletes Untapped connects parents/kids with vetted private sports coaches for in-person training. The platform was created by Gene & Elaine Williams – a married couple who both played college sports. Once their playing days ended, they started private coaching to stay involved with the game & earn extra income – and they loved it! Realizing there wasn’t a go-to platform meant to help private coaches scale their business – like Airbnb does with rentals, or Rover for dog walkers – Gene & Elaine decided to build AU. They’ve seen the impact private coaching can make on a young athlete’s life trajectory, so that’s why they’re using their backgrounds in tech & coaching to help millions of young athletes succeed through elite coaching.

Basketball Services for Group Improvement or Private Training in Poway, CA

One of the ways we try to meet everyone’s training needs is by offering both group training and private lessons. That allows you to find a coach that can help you or your team surpass perceived limitations and level up! 

With group instruction, you can get a coach for groups of any size. Group basketball instruction makes it possible to get the benefits of a private coach while helping to spread the cost out over multiple people. On a regular basketball team, the coach may be overwhelmed with the different players’ needs. A private group coaching session provides individualized instruction to help with your specific challenges.

Private training is an even better option for many players because they’ll get the coach’s undivided attention. You can ask all the questions you want and get valuable feedback about what you are doing well and where you can improve.

With AU, you can mix and match your basketball coaching as your needs change. For example, you can start with group coaching to see how you like our platform and try out a few coaches to see if there is one you like better than another. Then, you can hire that coach on an individual basis to get targeted instruction for your specific challenges. It’s all up to you!

Then, you will have a chance to upload a video of your playing for the coach to review.
