Toronto Basketball Training Centre - House of Legends

Fantastic experience: My kids were just training for 6 Saturday and I my self see my kids learn and develop a lot of the basic in basketball especially shooting. Coach Alex is one of the best coaches that we've been through.

Fantastic experience: Alex is a great coach who focuses on shooting, playmaking, driving to the net and way more skills you need as a basketball player. My kid has started training with him 2 months ago and has developed as a more confident, decisive and better player overall. I recommend Alex if you want to get to the next level in basketball.

Fantastic experience: Coach Alex is a positive, supportive and focused coach. My child is a beginner, but after 7 private coaching lessons in November, there has been progressive improvement in getting the techniques and mechanics correct. He uses a Kaizen approach of constant refinement, repetition and drills, which has greatly increased focus and confidence. He's a great teacher, who is calm, firm and consistent. We look forward to continuing with Coach Alex and stacking skills. Highly recommend this training center and learning from Coach Alex.

Fantastic experience: Alex is a great shooting coach. Alex is affordable and available almost every day for your kids to train. My son has been training with him few months and I see a great improvement.

Fantastic experience: Great coach, positive environment. Helping our son achieve his goals.

Fantastic experience: We are visiting Toronto from Sydney, Australia. Coach Alex has been amazing with my 13 year-old who is preparing for rep try-outs. Will says that within a few sessions he has learned more than from any other coach or camp. We are so grateful!

Fantastic experience: My son has been working with Alex and House of Legends for close to 4 years now and we have had an amazing experience. Alex is able to channel his life time of experience in ways that immediately help and improve any skill level of player (small details that make a massive differences). My son started as a way of learning a new sport to now playing Rep level bball. Coach Alex has been instrumental in his development from summer camps, shooting clinics and one-on-one lessons. We will continue to tap into Alex as an incredible resource and mentor. We highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Coach Alex made our son feel confident at only his first session. He is well verses in teaching the correct fundamentals to switch focus and eliminate bad habits in his formation. My son enjoys working with Coach Alex because he learns without pressure and looks forward to his weekly sessions. As a bonus, we welcome having Coach Alex teach our son being a local celebrity as he is Idris Elba look- alike. Thank you Coach!

Fantastic experience: Coach Alex knows how to connect with each child individually and bring out the best in them. I have seen great improvements with my son and my son loves Coach Alex even when he is tough with him! Which is important. Thank you Coach Alex you are brilliant!

Fantastic experience: We met Coach Alex two years ago when my son was just starting to learn basketball. He is a good coach/trainer and so much passion for kids to learn basketball. If you are looking for a good coach/trainer for your kids how to learn and get better in basketball, try to reach out to Coach Alex.

Fantastic experience: Coach Alex is an exceptional trainer who pays great attention to detail. My daughter’s confidence and skills have improved under his training.

Fantastic experience: Coach Alex is coaching my 12 year old son. Very knowledgeable, friendly and flexible coach.

Fantastic experience: Alex coach is very professional and friendly, and teaches the child the movements very seriously in every class. The kids learned a lot about basketball. From the first class, the child liked this coach and was happy that he learned a lot. Thank you coach.

Fantastic experience: My son is a basketball starter player. He likes coach Alex. Alex improved his shooting skills and taught him basic basketball moves.He is the best basketball coach we have ever met.

Fantastic experience: Alex introduced basketball to my son and that was his passion to baskerball started. My son trusted and believed on Alex so much. As a mattter of fact, when he has tournament or league he prefers to have private lesson before his games. Kodus to Alex! More power to you, Alex! You're amazing!

Fantastic experience: It was a great experience

Fantastic experience: My son has worked with coach Alex for more than 6 years. Not only has coach Alex taught him the basics but also instilled a passion for the game. With coach Alex’s guidance and he was able to elevate his game and his confidence due to the team work and discipline. In terms of basketball, his shooting and dribbling skills improved significantly as coach Alex provided him with the right techniques. He would push the players depending on their level but also get them out of their comfort zone when needed.

Fantastic experience: Best training coach ever. He has extensive experience. He was an elite player as a pro. Now he can pass the knowledge to the players he trains.

Fantastic experience: My daughter has worked with Coach Alex for about 1.5 years now. He has a deep knowledge of basketball and lots of experience training youth. However, what really stands out to me is his love for the game and for sport in general. Having watched him through private lessons, semi-privates, and groups, I have seen him coach at a variety of different levels, and his passion for the game is always obvious. Depending on where the player is in their basketball journey (recreational, aspirational, and competitive) he will push them differently, but his goal is always to make every player who walks into his gym a better, smarter, player. For younger youth, you may find that Alex spends a lot of time working on shooting (at least in a private or semi-private lesson). For most kids, this is the right thing (in the long term), but if you're doing a private or semi-private and want something different, be sure to speak with him. My daughter (age 11 now) is very quiet, and gravitates towards coaches who are similar. Coach Alex tends to be vocal, and it took my daughter a bit of time to get used to that, but she now regards him as one of her preferred coaches (between various programs and teams, she's had quite a few). I asked her about this once, and she essentially explained that it was because she could see the improvement in her skill and playing ability while working with Alex. She's come to regard him as one of the most authoritative coaches (without me having to tell her this). One thing I almost forgot to add: Coach Alex doesn't just do generic one-size-fits-all training. For example, my daughter loves basketball, but her default personality isn't always the right match for what is needed to be successful on the court. He's spent time talking with her about this, including an amusing story about "fake it until you make it".

Fantastic experience: Alex has been coaching my daughter for few months now and she couldn't be happier. She learned new skills and her team has complemented her several times how much she advanced in just 4 months. Alex coaches "old school" basketball and has amazing techniques. I would highly recommend Alex as a coach and a basketball mentor for children/teen. Thanks for everything! Ivana

Fantastic experience: Good place if you want to get a better jump shot. Called himself as the Goat Maker so don’t waste his time. Trained with him in Ontario now I’m one of the top teams in Alberta, won tournament mvp on my high school team and won division championship.

Fantastic experience: Nice set of trainers. Great to watch my kid learn new skills with discipline.

Fantastic experience: Positivity, Detail Oriented, Discipline, Preparation, Encouragement & Passion. This is coach Alex. I have been around basketball for a few years with my son and Alex's approach to training is grounded in the fundamental techniques to coaching and player empowerment through a love for the game. A true gem in Scarborough and Canada, for any hooper, at any level. I look forward to the continued instruction and development through coach Alex. Thanks Coach for inspiring my son to want to keep working and get better. #magnuseffect

Fantastic experience: We just started but I can already tell it’s exactly what my son needs: involved, talented coaches who teach him discipline, skill and the perfect combination of motivation and fun for my 8 year old boy. I am so excited for my son to grow with basketball. We have tried everything and this is the only place he has wanted to come back to!

Positive experience: Nice play to catch some hoops

Fantastic experience: Good

Fantastic experience: Coach Alex and his team of coaches are just amazing. Every since I registered my boys, they cannot get enough of it, they enjoy every practice. In a period of 2 months I have seen a major progression in my boys. The coaches take their time to walk them through practice, they are very patient, caring, disciplined, and extremely entertaining. I would recommend this club to any parents.

Fantastic experience: Great place and facility for kids to learn at any level, my son has been training with Coach Alex for about 2 months now. The improvement is clearly noticeable from changing his shooting form to ball handling, court awareness, movements and cuts to the lane and different ways to drive and attack the basket. Every little detail counts that is what is being drilled into his training every time, correcting bad habits etc. I've already noticed the drastic improvements in the scrimmages and games already and his just turn 11 yrs old. Anxious to see how he'll turn out in a couple years with Coach Alex!

Fantastic experience: Coach Alex has showed nothing but professionalism,dedication and commitment to my son's development. His passion for basketball is displayed in every aspect and really wants my son to succeed. I will definetly recommend House of Legends.

Fantastic experience: Very happy with my sons training so far with House of Legends. This extra training has definitely improved his confidence as a player and increased his points during a game.

Fantastic experience: A really nice place where u see upcoming talent in the 416.

Negative experience: Not much of a training there expensive to see your kids just shooting basketball and the trainer sitting down look like he has hangover they should have law for does business it's a rip-off

Negative experience: my review is only for one on one coaching, seems like he knows some stuff, but the whole lesson was on shooting, 25% he was checking his phone, getting something from his car, etc. Didn't seem to be too interested in what i wanted to learn. I called and said I was gonna show up 10 minutes late which he said was fine, he was busy anyways... my lesson finished less than an hour but when its 75 bucks for an hour I feel this should have been clarified, as in advised to come early. It seems for kids its great, but as an adult trying to learn I will be looking elsewhere

Fantastic experience: My son loves the House of Legends camps! Coach Alex is great! He gives a lot of personal attention for all the kids, ensures their skills development, as well as makes every day a fun day. Recommend highly!

Fantastic experience: My son started out at House of Legends at the beginning of the summer. He absolutely loves it! The weekends we went away this summer he was upset to miss out on his basketball training. Highly recommend. Excellent location, high ceilings, good equipment. Coach treats each kid with respect and encouragement. Great fit for kids who are just starting to get into basketball.

Fantastic experience: Testimonial I am pleased to be writing this testimonial for coaches of the Toronto Basketball training Centre. My son Cameron who is 12 years old has had the opportunity to work with Coach Alex on a private and semi-private basis for the last 4 months. He is a very hands on teacher who starts off with the basic fundamentals first and then explains plays and drills very well. He believes in working hard and in giving 100% all the times. He puts all his drills into real live game perspectives while teaching to you to learn from our mistakes. He also emphasizes that it's ok to make mistakes in practice, because it's just that; practice. He encourages team sportsmanship, competitiveness and mental toughness. He often says that you have got to be more prepared physically and mentally than your opponent at all times. We thank you for your outstanding effort, organization and enthusiasm and will continue to work with you going forward.
