Get to know Coach FaMondrea
About Me:
I have been involved with basketball programs for over 30 years. I have played recreational, junior varsity, B-team, and A-team (Varsity). I have trained male and female athletes that ages range from 7-18 years old. The last group of players that I helped trained both boys and girls team reached the State Final Four. The boys won the state championship and the girls were one game away from the state championship.
How I can help you improve your game:
The main things that we will work on first will be weaknesses. What is going to make the player better is removing the weaknesses first. We will still work on what you are already good at, but improve what needs to be improved. I'll also make you a smarter player. You will learn ways to avoid a double team, better visualize the game, how to know when to take advantage a defense, etc.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
It would consists of several drills. I like to start with layup, pull-up, and free throw drills. I could start with a freestyle drill session that allows the player to display there skills. I create a rough draft of what I see both good and bad. I want you to feel like everyday that you have learned something or benefited you in some type of way.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have over 25 years of coaching youth basketball. I have coached both boys and girls basketball. I have assisted with both high school and recreational programs.
Best coach I ever had:
It's really hard to two legendary coaches like Lorenzo Hunter and Major Lane. I see a lot of similarities with their coaching style. If I had to make a choice it would be Coach Hunter. I had more time with Coach Hunter and he would allow me use all of my skills.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I'm not just here to be concerned athletics, I'm also concerned about academics. The mental aspect is just as important as the physical. I want to build long lasting relationships with both children and parents. If at anytime the parent or parents would have anything that he, she, or they would to discuss, I would be open to it.

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!
