Youth Basketball Classes in The Woodlands
Coach Deon Basketball Development
A structured, month-to-month basketball development experience for players who are ready to move beyond the basics. These classes are designed for families who value clear standards, intentional coaching, and real progress — not random workouts.
Led by The Woodlands’ Most Dedicated Coach, this program helps players sharpen their skills, build confidence under pressure, and learn how to apply fundamentals in game-like situations.
Who These Classes Are Designed For
These classes are designed for players who have already completed the Fundamentals First curriculum, or for new players entering the Coach Deon system with a solid basketball foundation and readiness for structured skill development.
Classes are skill-based, not age-based. Players are grouped on the court by ability, pace, and readiness so each athlete is challenged appropriately while maintaining confidence, accountability, and momentum in their development.
If your player is still developing core ball-handling, footwork, or shooting fundamentals, we recommend starting with Fundamentals First before enrolling in these classes. That foundation ensures players are prepared to benefit fully from the pace, detail, and expectations of this program.
“We tried 2 other local basketball programs before we met Coach Deon back in 2020/2021. My son has been in his program ever since. Coach D and his team does an excellent job teaching and strengthening the fundamental skills of basketball into their players.”

Why This Program Matters
Parents often ask how to help their child improve without burning them out or bouncing between programs. The answer isn’t more activity — it’s better structure.
These classes are designed to:
Reinforce strong fundamentals under pressure
Build confidence through successful repetition
Teach players how to apply skills in real basketball situations
Hold players to clear expectations while supporting growth
The goal isn’t just short-term improvement — it’s creating habits and confidence that carry into games, leagues, and future levels of play.
