Book Private Basketball Lessons with Coach Erma
I have a passion for basketball like no other, and all I want to do is share that with others. I believe in coaching for the love of the game, not for any other reason. I always bring positivity and fun to every training session, that is focused on making you better, where you want to get better.

About Me:

Currently Play for North Central University entering my Junior Year
How I can help you improve your game:
My main focus is on instilling confidence in players, so that they can be more confident in their skills. To me basketball is much more mental than physical. I will not only work on skills and drills, but also work on the mental aspect of the game as well. Basketball has so much to teach us, and my goal is to help guide you through the game from every aspect and standpoint.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
First and most importantly I want to know what you want to work on most. Once we figure out your main focuses, we will break down each session to cater to those focuses.
We will start out with a warmup to get loose, and disucss what is working and what is not. Than we will go drill by drill touching on each focus you want. Each drill will be specifically catered to your need, as well as talked through and discussed. If you don't like something, we will change it. After we go through each focus, I will have some fun games, or a random skill test, to add some competition to the session. I will also always have you work on fundamentals, because that is one of the most important things when working on your game.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have just recently started my coaching career, however I have fallen in love with it. I coached a 6th grade girls basketball team this past spring. I also worked a 8-12 basketball camo this summer.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my Junior year AAU coach. She is the main reason I am currently playing in College. She believed in me and instilled confidence in me and my game. She pushed me to be great and get better everyday. She stuck by me through my injury and helped me train and ome back better than I was before. Overall, she is an amazing person with a great basketball mind.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I love basketball, but I care about the people more than the sport. I want to get to know you on a personal level and create a relationship that goes outside the sport. My training is completley structured on what you want to do, and we will work together to create the best training plan for you. I want to help you where you want help, and will always put you and your childs wants and needs before my own.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
