“Coach Omar provided private sessions for my sons, Landon and Laszlo. His interaction with them not only made them better players, but they enjoyed every session. Omar tailored the sessions to work on their different weaknesses, and provided continued feedback to both me and my boys. The growth observed was great. Fantastic coach!”
