Teaching Basketball Lessons
In Your Area"
you can be making good money doing stuff like this
with players in your area...
Here are various clips from my basketball training business.
Parents will pay you to do similar workouts with their kids.

Dear Coach,
If you can get access to a court and would like to make some extra money by helping kids become better basketball players, then this might be one of the most important websites you'll ever come across.
If you are like me, you love to teach basketball to kids. It’s fun. Now you can get paid to have fun by holding one-on-one and small group training sessions, clinics, and lessons for players 10-years-old all the way up to college aged. And...
You don't have to be a famous coach or a local star to do this. I was only a third-team "All County" Player my senior year in high school, and I didn't even play college ball, unless you count intramurals.
So get it out of your head that you have to be a big hotshot “somebody” in your area. You do have to know the game, though. The kids are looking up to you to teach them, and the parents are willing to pay you, so you have to know the skills and be able to teach them.
If you are famous in your area, that's even better. I’ve seen where top coaches and ex-players can get big bucks for lessons.
But all you really need is knowledge of the game and a system for marketing and doing your lessons. You can do general skills development, or specialize in one aspect of the game.
I emphasize shooting (as you know, basic shooting skills have just about disappeared these days, and I like helping kids become better shooters), but I also work on dribbling and passing. Each player is different, so you'll adapt the lessons according to the skill level of each player.
That Requires No "Selling"
When I first found out about this type of thing (offering private lessons to kids), I did a lot of digging and found out that it’s happening all over the country, in all sports. And you don’t have to live in a big city or a big population area to do it.
Why?...Because parents are looking for this for their kids. Everywhere.
I've made $35 per hour (per player) teaching basketball lessons in my area. You might even be able to make double or triple that if you live in an upscale area. (I've seen some coaches make well over $100 per hour!).
I've averaged 3 to 5 kids for my lessons on Saturdays. So that's between $105.00 and $175.00 for 3 to 5 hours of
Me?... I like a small number of kids to work with. That way, I get to know each one really well and can focus on each one to give them attention for their own unique needs.
It's also important to build relationships with a few parents and players at a time, where you can have a select few come back to you week after week. So you can get your coaching business on auto-pilot, where you know who’s coming to you week after week in a set schedule.
And most of the players who sign up with you will come back week after week. The players want to keep coming back so they can get better, and the parents want to give their kids the best possible advantage they can. When you help them, they will actually look forward to giving you money. You really don't have to do any "selling" at all.
If you are serious about doing something fun and rewarding like this, and you are ready to get going now, I’ve put together everything you need to get started - including an everything-you-need-to-know Business Guide, an easy-to-follow system for doing lessons that you can copy for yourself, and a collection of ads and marketing materials (that I've tested and used) that you can use to get customers.
This is stuff I wish I had when I started doing lessons. Now I've taken all the guesswork out of it for you.
This unique business guide, all on a CD, includes:
The Basketball Lessons Business Guide - an explanation of the whole business, the "Who, What, Why, Where, and How". It tells everything you need to know...from what to say to parents...to how todo the lessons.
34-Minute Audio Guide - You can listen as I go over all the basics.My Marketing and Advertising Samples - includes everything I've used to advertise my lessons and to get parents to sign their kids up for lessons. I explain each piece, so you understand my thinking behind it and why I do certain things (because some things work better than others). And you can use these samples as templates for your own marketing. Just plug in your own info. Here's a sampling of what's in this section:
- Flyers
- My Website (You can see how I explain to parents what's done in the lessons and see how...and why...to ask for their contact info so you can send them "more info" about lessons)
- Business Card
- Newspapers Ads
- My Info Package (I've sent this to parents who request "more info" - you'll see what to say, how to say, and why to say certain things)
- The Free Throw Contest Plan (I'll show you how you can host annual Free Throw Contests for kids in your area and use it to get more students for your lessons)
A Copy of My Book, "Precision Shooting: How To Be A Clutch Shooter Through Special Drills & Mental Training (A Guide For Beginners AND Experienced Shooters)" - I've given this to players who sign up for lessons. It's over 60 pages of instruction, drills, and charts that they can use to improve everything about their shooting. You can print it out and give copies of the book to your players, or you can use it as a template if you want to create your own book.
My Coaching Resource List - This is my list of the best books, videos, websites, and products that I use for my lessons. (For example, there is a unique basketball that's perfect for one of the drills that I do. You'll know where to get it, and why it's so great to have).
A Thank You Gift - And there's also something on this CD that you can print out and give to players and parents as a Thank You Gift for taking lessons with you. It costs almost nothing to make, but it's something that every basketball player and parent really likes. You can print one out for yourself too. It looks great in a 8x10 frame.
The investment for this basketball lessons business “blueprint” on CD is just $39 (plus $5 Shipping & Handling). You'll recover all of this amount in your first week of lessons. And you won’t have to spend time (or waste a lot of money) trying to figure out how to design flyers, or how to come up with ads, or what to say to parents to get them to sign their kids up, or even how to structure your lessons. I’ve already done all the expensive, time-consuming work for you.
All you have to do is copy what I’ve done to get started. Then, later as you get money coming in, you can test other ways, or put your own “twist” on this stuff and make it how you want for your situation.
I like to guarantee my work. There's a lot of scam artists out there, so I don't want you to be concerned about that. Take six months to look over my manual and put it to use in building your basketball lessons business. If after that time, you don't think that your investment was worth it, just return the package and I'll refund every cent of your money.And... I will give you even longer than six months... I'll even give you a year to test it out. If, after 12 months of using this system, you are still not satisfied, you can return the package for a full, prompt refund. The only thing that I'll require after the 12 months is that you send me a business card or a copy of an ad that you ran. That way I'll know that you at least attempted to create a basketball lessons business. |
I don't think anyone else will offer to give you a 100% refund like this. If you are a serious life-long basketball student like me, then you've probably bought several other books and videos for basketball drills and coaching. But have you ever been able to send these things back if you weren't happy with them?
Usually, once you open a video or DVD, you can't return it, unless there's something wrong with the tape or disc itself. But if you think there's something wrong with the content, it doesn't matter - you're stuck with it. At best, some companies only give you 30 days to try out their DVD's, videos, and books.
I don't want that to be a reason why you don't give this a try. That's why I'll give you at least six months.
To get this package so you can start your basketball lessons business as soon as possible, just click on the button that's in the red circle below (inside the dotted-line box). Your package will be shipped out immediately via Priority Mail.
You can also send in a check or money order. Just make it out to "Bill Dale" for $44 ($39 + $5 for S&H) and send it to:

I'll ship out your package to you as soon as I get your money order or if you order by PayPal. I do wait for personal checks to clear before sending out packages (usually within 5 to 10 days).
So now you can do one of two things:
- Stop reading this, go back to surfing the net or go watch some T.V., and keep wondering what it might be like to actually get paid to help kids become better players.
Or...
- Invest in this Basketball Lessons Business Guide so you can make money by helping kids become better basketball players. Hey, you probably spend a lot of time in the gym anyway...you might as well get paid for it. You have nothing to lose (except the money you could be getting from a lot of parents who are eager to give it to you).
As I said, this is a great business to be in. You are giving kids personalized, individual instruction in our great sport. And parents will pay you dearly for this service.
I can’t think of a more fun way to make money.
Thank You,
Bill Dale
P.S. One of the kids I worked with made 2 consecutive three pointers near the end of
a game to help his team win a close game. A couple nights later, I went to see
him play his next game and before his team took the floor for warm-ups, he
ran over to me and I could tell he was really excited. He just said a few words:
"I'm starting tonight...I'm starting tonight!"... It’s a great feeling to know that
you can help kids become better. Sometimes I almost feel a little guilty
about getting paid to do this.
P.S. #2 If you have any questions, you can email me at
webmaster@shootingdrills.com and I'll usually respond within 24 hours.

Fast Response Form YES! Bill, I want to make money by helping basketball players get better. So I'm willing to invest $39 (plus $5 shipping) in your Basketball Lessons Business Guide. You will show me everything I need to do and I know that I'll make this investment back after doing only a couple of lessons. I also understand that I can get my money back if I'm not satisfied with your system. So please send me...

3 Big Reasons Why This Is A Great InvestmentI think you'll agree that this is a better-than-fair investment for these resources. Think about these...
1. You will get money for something you love to do. Just think about this - you'll be
getting paid to help kids learn to play basketball!
2. There really is no hard selling involved. Remember, the parents and players will
want to come to you for help. Just about all of the parents and players will
already be "sold" on the idea of doing lessons. You just have to have a certain
process for marketing your service and setting up your lessons. I'll show you how.
3. And finally, after you start doing lessons and start to bring money in, it'll more than
make up for this small, one-time-only investment.
| "Bill...You have done a great job with communicating the different skills in the game of basketball. Morgan Wootten said, 'This is the bottom line: Are we doing all we can to make our players' sports experience as rewarding as possible?' It is programs like yours that can help our players grow even more! We count it a privilege to work with you and your program. In the future I will encourage my girls to come to your programs..."
