Book Lessons with Coach Geremy

I am a dedicated basketball trainer and coach with over 15 years of coaching experience and 8 years of training athletes across multiple levels of competition. I have played organized basketball at the middle school, high school, and Armed Forces levels, including three seasons on the All Marine Corps Basketball Team, with playing experience in California and Japan.

I have experience building and coaching AAU teams, preparing athletes for tournament competition through structured training, team development, and a strong focus on fundamentals, chemistry, and performing under pressure. I have also coached at the middle school and high school levels, helping athletes grow both on and off the court.

In addition, I work with children and athletes with disabilities, adapting my approach to meet each individual’s needs. My training is structured, supportive, and results-driven, focused on skill development, conditioning, and real-game performance. My goal is to help every athlete build confidence, discipline, and a mindset that leads to success both on and off the court.

I focus on developing complete players by breaking down each athlete’s strengths and areas for improvement, then building a structured plan to elevate their performance. My training emphasizes ball handling, shooting mechanics, footwork, and defensive positioning, along with game IQ and decision-making in real-time situations. Through repetition, discipline, and game-like drills, I help athletes become more consistent, confident, and effective on the court.

I also prioritize conditioning and mental toughness, ensuring players are prepared to compete at a high level and perform under pressure. Whether you’re working to make a team, earn more playing time, or compete at the next level, my goal is to help you improve with purpose and see real, measurable results in your game.

Each session includes a dynamic warm-up, skill development (ball handling, footwork, shooting), and conditioning. Group sessions end with controlled scrimmages, while one-on-one training includes detailed feedback and a plan for continued improvement.

I have played organized basketball at the middle school, high school, and Armed Forces levels, including three seasons on the All Marine Corps Basketball Team, with playing experience in California and Japan. I was the Head Varsity and JV Coach at Pace Brantley Prep School of Longwood, FL. I have been Coaching at Pace Brantley Prep School for four seasons. My basketball business I have is called "Team McCray Basketball Services LLC". The basketball services include AAU basketball teams, Camps, Clinics, one on one training sessions, and group trainings sessions.

The best coach I ever had was my father. He taught me how to push through adversity, stay disciplined, and keep going even when things got tough. He held me accountable, demanded consistency, and showed me that real growth comes from hard work and resilience, not shortcuts. Those lessons didn’t just shape me as a player, they shaped who I am today.

That foundation is what I bring into my coaching. I expect effort, focus, and commitment from every athlete I work with, but I also provide the support and guidance they need to grow. My goal is to pass on those same values, helping athletes not only improve their game, but develop the mindset, discipline, and confidence they’ll carry with them long after they leave the court.

Basketball is more than a sport to me, it’s a passion and a platform to help athletes grow both on and off the court. I take pride in not only developing skills, but in building confidence, discipline, and character in every athlete I work with. My goal is to create an environment where players feel supported, challenged, and motivated to reach their full potential.

I am fully invested in each athlete’s development. That means paying attention to the details, holding players accountable, and pushing them to improve every session. I understand that every athlete learns differently, which is why I take the time to adapt my coaching style to meet individual needs, whether I’m working with beginners, competitive AAU players, or athletes with disabilities.

Parents can expect clear communication, structure, and a coach who genuinely cares about their child’s growth, not just as a player, but as a person. My passion for coaching comes from seeing athletes gain confidence, improve their game, and carry those lessons into life beyond basketball.
