Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, I train both boys and girls of all ages. That said, because my training time is limited, it really depends on the availability within each specific age group. I don’t like to mix younger, less experienced players with older or more advanced athletes—everyone deserves the right environment to grow.

If your child is just starting out, I highly recommend looking into the Kanali Development Program, which is designed specifically for beginners to build confidence, fundamentals, and the right foundation

Group sessions are $50 for a one-hour workout. I also offer private one-on-one sessions for $150 per hour—but those are usually booked pretty far in advance. It never hurts to ask though—just send over your availability (dates and times) and we’ll get back to you with what’s open.

Team trainings are also available. It’s $30 per player, with a minimum of seven players required to be considered a team.

We don’t offer payment plans or packages. Life happens, and we don’t want to hold anyone’s money as a credit. If you want to train, just pay for that session on the day of. No bundles. No booking multiple sessions for discounts. Just show up and lets work!

Kanali is a mix of where my wife and I are from. She’s from Kansas, and I’m from California—also known as Cali for short. We combined the two, and that’s how Kanali was born. It represents both of us and the foundation we’ve built together.

We focus heavily on ball handling, confidence, footwork, and making moves while finishing at the basket. We also put a big emphasis on learning how to compete—whether it’s one-on-one, two-on-two, or three-on-three. That includes offense, but especially defense.

You don’t just wake up a good defender. You have to learn how to compete, understand angles, timing, spacing, and how to take pride in getting stops. That’s a big part of what we teach.

We finish 95% of our workouts with live one-on-one play during the last 10–15 minutes. It’s where players apply everything they’ve worked on in real situations.

First and foremost—you’re going to hear music. I’m a big believer that music helps set the tone, create rhythm, and give kids a certain energy and swagger that pushes them to work harder. It’s all edited—no cussing—and usually a mix of gospel rap and clean mainstream tracks.

Yes, some of the lyrics might not be the most meaningful, but the purpose isn’t the message—it’s the pace. The music helps kids move quicker, stay engaged, and stay in rhythm throughout the workout. The vibe in the gym is high energy, focused, and built to make players feel confident and locked in.
