Who's Teaching

Cameron Hatcher

Co-Founder · Skill & Durability

Started my basketball journey in Cincinnati, OH; continued it in Loudoun County, VA from fifth through twelfth grade. Played on the seventh grade team as a sixth grader, ran with Loudoun Elite / Virginia Premier when the program went number one in Virginia, number one in the DMV, and eighteenth in the nation. High school varsity from day one at Briar Woods, then Virginia Academy. Two D2 offers before I finished my freshman year of high school.

Then I tore my ACL at a Boo Williams tournament in Hampton during the spring of my junior year.

I got to college, won Rookie of the Year, made All-Conference twice, put up 336 points as a sophomore. And in the last scrimmage of preseason my junior year, I tore the same knee again — this time with the meniscus.

Same leg. Twice. I had to rebuild my shot and my body from scratch, both times.

Senior year I came back and led the Atlantic East in three-point percentage. Helped push the program to its best record in more than twenty years.

I'm not teaching this from a clipboard. I'm teaching it because I had to learn every piece of it the hard way — how to shoot when your mechanics are gone, how to move when your body doesn't trust itself yet, and how to build a game that actually holds up.

Co-Founder · Skill & Game Breakdown

Started playing in Richmond, VA. Won an undefeated eighth grade championship at Stone Hill Middle School, then started varsity all four years at Rock Ridge.

Second Team All-Conference as a sophomore. First Team All-Conference, All-Region, and Second Team All-State as a junior. Senior year it was Conference Player of the Year, Region Player of the Year, First Team All-State, and ranked thirty-seventh in the state of Virginia.

Then I got to Coppin State and found out what Division I actually asks of you. Made the MEAC All-Rookie Team my first year there.

Getting recruited and staying productive are two different problems. I've had to solve both.

I finished at Claflin as one of the most efficient scorers on a twenty-win team, and we took both the Y.E.S. and BCIC tournament championships.

Today I'm the freshman head coach at Lightridge High School. Coaching from a bench and training on a floor are two different jobs — doing both means I see which drills actually show up in a game and which ones just look good in a gym.

I handle the skill and game breakdown here — taking apart what you actually do on the floor, piece by piece, and showing you which pieces are costing you. Most kids aren't short on effort. They're short on someone telling them exactly what to fix.

The Problem

Three things nobody wants to tell you about youth basketball.

Families pour more money into youth sports every year than they ever have. Most of it goes to the wrong places.

01

Your kid is playing constantly and developing almost nothing.

A circuit player logs 60 to 80 games a year and maybe fifteen hours of real, corrected skill work. Professionals invert that ratio completely.

You cannot fix a flawed game in a tournament — you can only expose it. Game volume without rep volume doesn't build a player. It cements whatever bad habits they already have, under fatigue, in front of an audience.

02

Families are buying exposure before there's anything to expose.

Circuit fees. Showcases. Exposure camps. Recruiting services. Thousands of dollars a year spent on getting seen — by a player who can't perform basic reads on the court or navigate a ball screen or written play.

College coaches are not impressed that your kid attended. They're impressed by how they play within a system. Development first. Exposure second. Almost everyone does that backwards, because exposure is purchasable and quick, and development isn't.

03

Nobody is training the body. Kids are breaking.

Year-round single-sport play. No landing mechanics. No deceleration work. No strength base. And the kids getting hurt are frequently the ones playing the most.

Everybody trains the parts they can see. Nobody trains hips, ankles, glutes, hamstrings, or the small stabilizers around a knee — the unglamorous parts that actually keep an athlete on the floor. There's no highlight reel for the work that prevents an injury, so it doesn't get done.

Cameron tore the same ACL twice — the second time with a meniscus attached to it. Nobody ever spent twenty minutes teaching him how to land. Nobody is teaching your kid either.

The Method

Three pillars. Every session.

Not drills that look good on camera. Work that transfers to Friday night.

Pillar 01

Skill Display Under Pressure

Ball-handling, shooting, and finishing trained the way they actually happen — off movement, against contact, with a decision at the end. If it never shows up in a game, we don't run it.

Pillar 02

Durability

Landing mechanics, deceleration, single-leg strength, and load awareness. The stuff that keeps your kid on the floor. This is the part almost nobody trains, and it's the part Cameron knows best.

Pillar 03

Feedback

Five hundred shots with nobody watching just cements bad habits. Every rep gets corrected — in person or through film review — so the volume actually compounds.

Start Here

Your first session is free.

No card, no commitment, no pitch at the end. We train, you see how we coach, and you decide from there.

Free · Anywhere

Virtual Session

Live over video, wherever you are. Any state, any time zone — all you need is a hoop and a phone propped up.

  • Full movement and skill assessment
  • Live correction on shooting mechanics and footwork
  • Landing and deceleration screen — we'll tell you what we see
  • You leave with three specific things to work on

In-Person Session

If you're in Northern Virginia, we can get on the floor together. Same assessment, live reps, real contact.

  • Everything in the virtual session, in person
  • Live 1-on-1 reps so we can see it under pressure
  • Hands-on footwork and landing correction
  • Parents welcome to sit in and ask anything
Book Free Session

Ongoing coaching is limited to five athletes per coach — ten total. The rate and everything included is right below — no pitch at the session, no surprise number afterward.

If You Want To Keep Going

Ten athletes. Five each.

We write every program by hand and watch every piece of film ourselves. That work doesn't scale and we're not going to pretend it does. Five athletes per coach — when it's full, it's full.

  • A program built for your athlete. Not a template with their name on it. Written around their position, their level, and what's actually holding them back — then rewritten every month as that changes.
  • Film review every week. They send video of their work. Their coach sends back a recorded breakdown with corrections. Four a month, every month.
  • A live session every month. Thirty minutes face to face over video — reassessment, direct instruction, and the plan for the next block.
  • Durability in every block. Landing mechanics, deceleration, single-leg strength. The work nobody does until after the injury. Cameron learned that one the hard way, twice.
  • Direct access to your coach. Message them between sessions and you get an answer inside two business days. It's Cameron or Greg replying — no assistant, no auto-responder, no one you've never met.
  • In person or remote. On-court with us around Northern Virginia, or anywhere at all with a hoop and a phone. Same rate either way.
  • Cancel any month. No contract, no term, no cancellation fee. If it isn't working, you leave and we'd rather you did.

For comparison — small-group training runs $400–500 a month for one coach split between six kids. Private coaching runs more than that. This is one-on-one.
