For coaches looking to make some extra money...  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 are like me, you love to teach basketball. It's fun to see players develop because of the knowledge and tools that you give them. And now, you can make some extra money by helping kids in your area become better basketball players. If you can get access to a court, then you can get paid to have fun by holding one-on-one and small group training sessions, clinics, and lessons. 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 don't worry 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 heavy populated area to make a lot of money. Why?...Because parents are looking for this and want it 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 Not bad for a Saturday afternoon. If you want to go for more, it all depends on how much time you can get to use the gym and how much money you want to do. It's up to you. Me?... I like a small number of kids to work with at any given time. 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 shows you everything you need to know...from what to say to parents...to how to structure your 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 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:
A Copy of My Book, "Precision Shooting: How To Be A Clutch Shooter With 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 of that 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 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, 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: Bill Dale Teaching Basketball Lessons P.O. Box 492 North East, MD 21901 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:
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.
 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 to make it go as smooth as possible. 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.
