Team Elite Basketball

Besides my son’s hard work, Coach Rodel has been the main instrument behind my son’s significant improvement in his basketball game. The instruction he has given is firm yet encouraging. My son truly enjoys his instruction and feels fortunate to have him.
Recommend? Absolutely and wholeheartedly. Hard work is required, but along with Coach Rodel’s tutelage, kids will improve.

Team Elite Basketball is the BEST… Coach Rodel coached my daughter. She improved a lot after he coached. She got lot of confidence after she started to play at Team Elite.
Coach Rodel organizes 3 vs 3 which are the best way to improve the game. Every penny you spend in Team Elite is worth.

Since it’s been almost a full year with Team Elite and Coach Rodel, I figured I’d add some color to share what we’ve experienced so far.
My son’s game has transformed/​evolved in many ways. He is no longer afraid to take shots, and his court awareness has improved drastically. He is now capable of playing/​moving without the ball, which allows him to either free up other players, as well as position himself for an open look. He’s always had a pretty decent shot, but with the 1 on 1’s he’s had with Coach Rodel, he’s been able to tweak his follow through a bit to make his stroke more consistent.
My son has also had the pleasure of being coached and guided by Coach Willis. He is a huge asset to Team Elite and Coach Rodel’s arsenal. Coach Willis is currently in charge of the High School Boys Pre-​Season Training. That same passion and fire that I’ve experienced with Coach Rodel, also stands true with Coach Willis. After every game, he has always made the time to give me feedback on what my son did well, or didn’t do so well. That is one thing you will learn with Coach Willis, he will never sugar coat anything. Good or bad, he tells it like it is. For any parent that is well invested in his or her child’s basketball path, this is exactly what we hope to get.
It is now freshman year for my son, and he will be trying out for his school team. If Team Elite will offer a freshman team/​league for the summer, I will sign him up in a heartbeat. That alone should tell you how happy I am with what they have accomplished with my son.

Coach Rodel is an amazing coach. Our daughter is a freshman, and she is taking private lessons with Coach Rodel in order to prepare her for high school basketball. Coach Rodel is so positive, energetic, and knowledgeable. He pulls the absolute best out of each kid he coaches. He is intense and fun, and we have noticed a huge improvement in our daughter’s level of play. She is now more confident and looking forward to her high school season!

My 8 year old son just finished 6 weeks of one-​on-​one training with Rodel and he loved every minute of it. Rodel is a great coach. My son was a little intimidated at first, but Rodel’s coaching style put him at ease.
My son has been playing for the YMCA since he was 5 and we wanted him to learn more ball-​handling skills and finishing moves. We found Rodel through IG and after watching videos on YouTube and IG we knew this was the place that would really improve my sons speed, stamina, coordination, strength, timing and shooting skills.
This is a well-​run and well organized program. Rodel is always quick to get back to us when we have any questions.
Not only did my son do his one-​on-​one with Coach Rodel, he practiced Monday evenings with the rest of Rodels team and man they put in work. If your looking to elevate your kids game, Team Elite is the place to go!
P. S. My son qualified and then won the 3-​Point-​Challenge at California’s Great America this past weekend!!! Thanks Coach Rodel… hard work and practice paid off.

I had my son played in another AAU club for about 2yrs. I tried Team Elite to try a diff culture of Basketball & didn’t regret at all. Coach Rodel/​coach Willis made my son a well rounded player & boost up his confidence. My son is very happy to be a part of this club. From a parent to a parent, I will surely recommend Team Elite if you want your son/​daughter to take it to the next level. They’re not just coaches to our kids but a friend as well.

I have taken my son to Team Elite for almost four month and I am very happy with his improvements. Coach Wills is a great coach, we had about 11 hours of one on one training with him and I could see week by week improvement with my son’s skill and confident. My son had his last training session with coach Rodel who is very skilled and energetic coach and great motivator. If you want to see a fast improvement with you kids basketball skill, then consider team elite.

From day one this organization has given our family so much more than we could have ever imagined nor expected. Our daughter who has loved basketball since she was 5 years old made a commitment at the age of 10 that basketball was the sport for her. We enrolled her in a couple rec leagues and she played with some older girls that were in our sons basketball organization. The difficulty at the time was finding a place to help her develop her skills and a team that would be competitive and challenging to propel her forward in her development. This is when we found Team Elite and Coach Rodel.
Our daughter came out to meet coach Rodel and had hoped to play for a competitive girls team. The problem however was that at her age and during this time there were not many girls teams and not many girls who came out to tryouts. This is when Coach Rodel approached us with an idea. He proposed that our daughter who was a 5^th grader at the time play on his 6^th grade boys team. I was a little hesistant and was not sure about if this was the right way to push her but we decided to give it a shot.
From practices to games to team bonding our daughter was treated no different than the boys. The boys on her team would give her full support and the parents treated her no different than any of the boys on the team. Now you can say that this is something that should happen. Reality is that it happened because of Coach Rodel’s coaching and his dedication to every single player that he works with. Coach Rodel not only drills in important basketball skills he teaches life lessons such as sportsmanship, teamwork, positive attitude and respect.
The facility is amazing. There are 4 hoops to shoot and one of them is a shooting machine. It’s private secluded and there is plenty of parking. On the weekends when there are 3 vs. 3 tournaments the organization throws a bbq and potluck for the players and their family. It’s just fun… Not only do they come out to a place that they can practice what they love (basketball) but they get a chance to hang out with their team and bond. The parents do the same.
The other day my daughter came in just to shoot around and there were 2 other kids doing the same. Coach Rodel asked the kids including my daughter to do a little pick up 2 vs. 2. Coach Rodel and my daughter played against the 2 boys that were there. It started with some skills time and then it was game time. Watching my daughter play with Coach Rodel brought tears to my eyes. This is what it was all about. As he passed and she cut to the basketball he passed her the ball and she layed it up past one of the boys. He gave her a look that said «thats what i’m talking about» Teary eyed I had to look away not wanting my now 13 year old to see her mommy cry. She developed the confidence to play hard because she loves the game. Coach Rodel gave her the skills to tie it all together and how to make things happen. Our daughter who is an 8^th grader has consistenly played up a grade in AAU since she has been training with coach Rodel. She has played against high school girls and she holds her own.
Coach Rodel coaches with technique. He analyzes, watches and gives his players skills to capitalize on their personal strengths. He takes their weaknesses and gives them skills and drills to improve. He has taken my daughter and molded her from a player who had iffy shooting ability to a threat at the three point line. Her ball handling has vastly improved and now she can shake a bake the best of them. He has drills that I have never seen before making practice never repetitive nor stagnant. Every player is doing something ALL THE TIME! non stop basketball. Our daughter has one more year before she heads into high school. She has played on teams other than team elite and many of her other coaches have commented about her game play. All we can say is «That’s all coach Rodel.»
If you want your child to improve then Coach Rodel is the right coach for you. He’s not going to tell you that your child will be a shooting machine in a week nor will he make promises that he cannot keep. What he does is he tells you that your child’s potential is there. He really drilled it into my daughter that it has to start with her.
This organization has become family. Our daughter wants to make her coach proud. She wants to make him see that all of his hard work has paid off and that she has listened to everything he has taught her. Coach Willis is such great guy. Coach Rodel and Coach Willis complement each other well and they push the kids to their max. Coach Willis is a great guy to talk to and he has so much basketball skill and insight. Coach Rodel along with his parents his brother and his amazing wife care so much about our daughter. We cannot say enough about how much we love this organization. In all Basketball starts here… where you take it… the sky is the limit.

Coach Rodell and his team teach basketball with boundless energy, passion, and non stop commitment to excellence. Both our kids — ages 10 and 12 have been playing for Team Elite for a few years now including personal coaching with Coach Rodell. During this time both have improved in their technical skills especially handling the ball, court presence, and shooting. Most important they have fun at Team Elite and while practices are intense, they never want to miss them. Coach Rodell burnished the love for basketball with our children.

My sons have been playing for Team Elite for over a year. They have also been getting 1×1 training. Rodel and his coaching staff have developed their ball handling, offensive and defensive skills and court awareness. I can’t say enough about how good the experience has been for them and how much they have developed. Rodel has a way with the kids that makes them play and work harder, while enjoying every minute. He is positive and encouraging and expects and teaches them to always give their best. He also does a great job of creating a team family environment. It is a home away from home.

This review is for Coach Willis at Team Elite Basketball. Coach Willis has been coaching my son in basketball for the last 9 months. I can’t say enough about his inspiring coaching technique and abilities. Willis has a great attitude, he is serious but fun, and he knows how to encourage and when to push to maximize my son’s potential. My son enjoys every single session while learning great basketball skills.

This is our 2^nd season with Team Elite and love working with Coach Rodel. Our son has learned some great skills since he has joined Team Elite. We look forward to many more seasons. The 1:1 training is by far the best in the bay! Rodel knows exactly what to work on with your child to make him a better player and to take Basketball to the next level.

My 10 year old son has played in Coach Rodel’s basketball program for the last 15 months. He played on the AAU team and received 1:1 training. In that time, my son improved tremendously under Coach Rodel’s guidance. His shooting, defensive skills, court awareness, and especially dribbling are light years ahead from a year ago. We have been to several basketball programs and find Team Elite to be the best in terms of coaching kids how to play the right way. Coach Rodel is a great coach and highly recommend the program!

My son has played with Team Elite for nearly 5 years and has enjoyed it immensely. His basketball skills have improved tremendously. Coach Rodel is the best! I shopped around for different AAU clubs and found this to be one of the best in the South Bay. What I have really liked is the respect and discipline instilled into the boys. This is a travel team so plan on doing so. Also, the club is very family friendly and having the coach’s parents and family involved is a huge plus. They are the nicest people!

Absolutely love this place, very spacious & most of all kid friendly. All the staff are very welcoming specially new comers like us.
Coach Rodel is an inspiring leader. Thank you for taking care of all of us

I have taken my son to Team Elite for over one year now. Elite has some great coaches! My son has been trained by Coach Rodel (the Owner), Coach Randy, Coach Lorenzo and Coach Anthony. We have seen our son develop into a well rounded basketball player. Currently he plays for one of the teams on Team Elite and he also is getting 1-​on-​1 training. The team practices have a great level of intensity and there is also a shooting machine which allows you to work on free throws and 3-​pointers.
You can’t go wrong with Coach Rodel — he has our son’s best interest in mind.
You can also their training style on YouTube.

Rodel does a very good job training the kids. My nephew whose in it has improved a lot over this program for the past few months. I highly recommend you give Team Elite a try. They really are passionate on what they so.

I really can’t rate Team Elite highly enough! My son loves coming here for practice and for 1 – 1 training with Coach Rodel. The practices are challenging but VERY well run and organized. My son’s skills have gone up tremendously and noticeably since he started here only 1 month ago!!!
Coach Rodel has an amazing gift for reaching kids and really helping them achieve their personal best. If your child loves basketball and you want to help them get to ‘the next level’ this is the place to go!

Since joining Team Elite, our experience has been nothing short of EXCELLENT! My son’s game has improved tremendously, but most of all he now plays with confidence. We have Coach Rodel and Coach Albert to thank for that. The coaches are wonderful with the kids. We love being part of this league and highly recommend Team Elite!
