“My son has been training with Steven almost 2 months now.. I have nothing but THE BEST things to say! I have watched my son become more patient, more aware, his structure, speed, & ball handling has increased substantially. I can’t say enough good things. Worth every hour each training & every dollar spent. Steven is so patient, encouraging, & soft spoken which is exactly what my son has been missing in a trainer/coach up until now. TY Steven & his wife Rita who is always on top of the schedule & communication.” — Nicole Dykman., Parent

“Our son’s skills and confidence have grown tremendously since training with Steven. The personalized coaching and real-time detailed feedback have made a huge difference in his game. We couldn’t be happier with the progress he’s made—Highly Recommend!” — Leta Smith., Parent

“To reflect on Steven Gray Basketball, I must share a little about who we are and where we come from. My husband and I both come from a very cultural background that is taught the values of community at a very young age. We are parents of 5 amazing babies who do nothing but inspire us to be a better version of ourselves every day. As a stay-at-home mother and wife to a professional MMA fighter with a busy work and training schedule, we have learned time is precious and the small details are vital to our children thriving as Indigenous youth in today’s modern world. We came to know the Grays, as our daughter joined the same AAU program. Maki left inspired by their daughter, which as parents, we know that our children are only a reflection of their life guides. As time went on, we found our paths aligning more and more. Our eldest daughter Maki has been training with Steven now for some time. Since she started her confidence within herself on and off the court has bloomed. Her basketball IQ has expanded, and she has been able to take the knowledge Steven has shared, alongside his wife’s constant encouragement, and their children’s example and grow so much more as a player and a person. I feel that Steven Gray Basketball is teaching Indigenous Knowledge through the love of basketball. It is never just Steven; he carries his family and their values within everything he brings to the table. The community that the Grays are creating is infectious and something we are grateful to support and allow into our families' lives. Everything we allow into our children is something that only aids in their growth in their life journeys. Steven Gray Basketball is full of traditional values that just bring everything back to the center. Not only has our daughter gained an amazing trainer, but our family has gained a community we can trust that’s full of honesty, communication, education, passion, dedication, and more. Stevens’ attention to detail and all the drills and knowledge shared is motivating all of our youth to grow in a game setting and also encouraging them to carry themselves strongly and positively in and outside of the gym. The Grays have not only motivated Maki, but our whole family. To promote traditional knowledge through movement and wellness, while incorporating your heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit is something we will forever support. Our ancestors are proud!” — Respectfully, The White Eagles., Parents

“We cannot recommend Steven highly enough as a basketball trainer. Our 14-year-old son started working with Steven as a timid player who lacked confidence on the court. It’s been amazing to see how much he has grown—not just in his skills, but in his overall attitude and competitiveness. Steven has an incredible ability to connect with every athlete he trains. He is patient, understanding, and knows exactly how to push players out of their comfort zones in a positive and encouraging way.

What really stands out about Steven is his great temperament. He’s able to communicate with our son in a way that feels personal, motivating, and respectful. Steven has a genuine passion for helping athletes grow and develop—not just as players, but as people. Thanks to his coaching, our son is not only a more skilled basketball player, but also a more confident and competitive one. We’re incredibly grateful for Steven’s dedication and care, and we’re excited to see where our son’s basketball journey goes with his guidance.

If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares about your child’s growth, Steven is the one!” — Candis Martinson., Parent
