More About Coach Phil

Phil Morrison is an International basketball skills trainer and professional basketball player overseas. He has trained players at every level from NBA/Overseas Pros, College All-Americans, H.S. All-State players and of course beginners as young as 7 years old. Phil is the Nike Camp Director for Kentucky and has experience running camps/clinics in different countries around the world. Phil also holds the position of Director of the ministry Upward Stars Louisville which runs basketball teams, clinics & training academy in different churches throughout Louisville, Lexington & New Albany, IN.

As a player Phillip depended on his work ethic, basketball IQ and constant commitment to developing his skills. He is proof that you don't have to be the most athletically gifted or biggest player to be successful at the high school, college and even pro level. Phillip will show you the blueprint to take your game to another level by developing basketball and mental skills. Invest in yourself, go after your dream. Train like a pro and with a pro!

As a Christian athlete one of Phillip's greatest passions is to encourage and invest in young players through the game of basketball. While playing professionally in Singapore, God gave him a vision of running camps and clinics around the world as a platform to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and inspire young players to work hard for their dreams. This is what started the "Hoops for Christ" mission and soon led him to the Philippines where he was the Director of Basketball training at a ministry called Salvation Teams. The Hoops for Christ Camps offer high level basketball skills training free of charge to churches looking to invest in the youth of their community.

Coach Phil is a great mentor for our son. He connects well and teaches both on the physical and mental game. We have seen an immediate difference in our son's abilities as a player. What's even better is Coach Phil's character as a Christian. It's important for us to surround our son with positive influences, and Coach Phil is the epedimy of this. We are excited to see what the future holds for our son with Coach Phil on our side.

Coach Phil did a great job with my 3rd grader as he helped him prepare for his team try-outs. We books 3 individual lessons and 1 group lesson with neighbors and classmates. Other parents commented on the improvement on my son's ball handling skills, dribbling skills and that he did very well at the basketball try-outs. Coach Phil is easy to work with on scheduling the lessons and the boys responded very well to him. He was very professional when he came to our home for the one on one as well as a group lessons with other neighbors and teammates. Coach Phil was prepared with information for the parents as well as equipment and lesson plan / practice for boys. I would highly recommend him for individual or group lessons with your son or daughter.

I can't say enough about Coach Phil! His training sessions with my son were great! I really like his innovative approach of putting stress on the nervous system to improve ball handling quickness. I also like his emphasis on proper footwork. I can definitely see improvement in my son's ability and confidence after our sessions with Coach Phil. Highly recommend!

My son really enjoyed the lesson, and asked if we could have another one the next day. He is getting ready for high school ball, and he is very motivated to practice the drills and skills that coach Phil taught him. I definitely recommend Phil, he is an excellent coach, and he teaches the mental aspect of the game as well. 5 Stars.

Phil's elite training helped me transition my game from a high school athlete to a standout college basketball player. However, not only did my game change for the better, so did my attitude. Phil prepared me for the ultimate game of life. I am blessed to call him a friend.
I couldn't be more happier with the results of my game after working with my man, Phil. He was able to find new ways to improve my game and to continue keep my body and mind where it should be as a pro.
If there was ever an opportunity to learn from one of the nation's best skills instructors this is it. Just give Phil one opportunity to work with you and you'll be sold. Your skill level will improve tremendously! My teams have trained with Phil many times because he is a great basketball skills trainer but an even better person. Phil has the total package.
