Private basketball training for kids and teens
Private basketball lessons with a former Czech international. Shooting, dribbling, footwork and reading the game — one-on-one or in a small group, in Prague, Beroun and the surrounding area. For league players I offer position-specific preparation, specialising in post play.

Who’ll be coaching you
Over 15 seasons at the top level. Now I’m passing it on.
I’ve played basketball since I was a child — the national team, the Olympics in London, two World Cups, the EuroLeague with USK Praha, titles with Brno and Prague. Along the way I’ve been through it all: hard graft, injuries and the training that moved me forward the most.
I approach every player according to what they actually need, not a one-size-fits-all plan. For players on league teams I offer position-specific preparation, specialising in post play.
At the first session I mostly watch — how the player shoots, dribbles and moves. Based on that, we decide what to work on. After every session I sum up what we did and add a few drills to do at home.

“It’s unbelievable,” admits Hanušová
Five thousand points in the Czech league. Only the tenth player in the league’s history to pass the mark.

What we work on
What we train: shooting, dribbling, defence and basketball IQ
I build every session around what the player is missing most. These are the areas I focus on most often.
Both hands, changes of pace and direction, dribbling with your head up.
First step, footwork, reading the defender, finishing with the right and the left hand.
Stance and footwork in the post, finishing through contact, rebounding, screens and pick and roll. My home turf.
Reading the play, split-second decisions, composure and confidence on the court.
Core stability, proper landing technique and bodyweight work.
Who it’s for
Basketball training from age 10 all the way to league players
Individual training complements a club — it doesn’t replace it. What matters is where the player is now and where they want to get to; age is only a rough guide.
10–13 · Getting the basics right
Beginners, or kids from a club’s youth programme. Dribbling with both hands, footwork and shooting mechanics before bad habits set in — at ten, a child is strong enough to shoot properly and has nothing to unlearn yet.
12–18 · Club players who want more
They play in a league and want more minutes. Specific weaknesses from games, 1-on-1 play, reading the game. The goal is simple: a place in the starting five.
16+ · Competitive and professional players
Ambitious juniors, selection squads, players on league teams. Pre-season preparation and off-season work, position-specific training. Specialising in post and forward play: playing with your back to the basket, footwork in the post, finishing through contact, rebounding, screens and pick and roll. I coach what I played myself for sixteen seasons at the top level.
20+ · Adults and recreational players
Amateur leagues, corporate tournaments, or coming back to basketball after years away. Confidence with the ball, shooting and fitness — early in the morning or in the evening if you like, indoors or outdoors.
For clubs
A skills block for a whole youth team, or a training day for post players
Club coaches: I’ll come to your team with a topic you never have enough time for during the season. We’ll agree the content and price based on the number of players and the length of the block.
I coach girls and boys.

Where and when
Basketball training in Prague, Beroun and the surrounding area
I coach anywhere in Prague and within 20 km of Beroun. Individual training needs one hoop, not a whole hall — so I choose school gyms and smaller halls depending on where you’re travelling from. In the Beroun area it’s the TJ Lokomotiva hall or the outdoor court at Hlinky, and I also travel to Králův Dvůr, Zdice, Hořovice, Rudná, Řevnice and Dobřichovice. We’ll agree the exact place and time in your first message.
- Where
- We choose the hall based on where the player is travelling from — Prague, Beroun and the surrounding area.
- When
- Weekday afternoons, weekends by arrangement
- Outdoors
- In good weather, happily on an outdoor court too
- Scheduling
- We’ll fine-tune the exact hall and time to suit you when we arrange it

Frequently asked questions
Questions parents ask most
From what age can a child start individual basketball training?
Ideally from age 10. At that age a child can stay focused for a full hour and consciously correct their technique, so individual training makes sense. With younger children we can give it a try by arrangement.
Does my child need to play for a club?
No, but for most kids it makes sense. Individual training complements club practice — we work on things there’s no time for in team sessions. If your child isn’t in a club yet and enjoys basketball, we’ll start with the basics and I’ll recommend where to sign up nearby.
How often should a child come to individual training?
Most often once a week alongside club practice. Before the season or a selection trial, twice a week for a few weeks makes sense. Even a single session is worthwhile as an initial assessment — I’ll tell you where things stand and give you drills for home.
How much does individual basketball training cost and what’s included?
An individual session costs 1,400 CZK for 60 minutes; a group of 2–4 players costs 1,700 CZK for the whole group. The price includes the coach and gym hire. If you provide the gym or we train outdoors, the session is 300 CZK cheaper. Payment is by bank transfer in advance, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.
Do you also coach in Beroun and the surrounding area?
Yes. In Beroun and the surrounding area I coach both in halls and on outdoor courts, depending on the weather and what we agree. If your club or school has its own gym, the session is 300 CZK cheaper.
Can I watch the session as a parent?
Yes, parents are welcome. With younger children I recommend it — you see how the session works and can support your child at home more easily. With older players it tends to work best when they do the session on their own and you join for the feedback at the end.
Do you coach adults too?
Yes. I coach recreational players from amateur leagues as well as players on league teams who want position-specific preparation. Adults usually train early in the morning or in the evening, when halls are free, or outdoors.
