SEE THE GAME DIFFERENTLY.

You’ll work directly with Jaden Gonzales, founder of Courtside IQ. He leads the weekly sessions, helps your child put their learning into practice and stays in touch between sessions. Meet Jaden and read his story.

Yes. The complimentary 30-minute assessment happens before enrolment. It allows us to understand the player, discuss their goals and decide together whether the 12-week programme is a suitable fit.

Yes. Courtside IQ supports committed youth players worldwide. Sessions take place online; we’ll agree a time and video-call platform that work for your family before enrolment.

Prices are in GBP (British pounds). If you pay from another currency, your payment provider may apply its own exchange rate and fees. We’ll confirm payment arrangements before you commit.

Meaningful development takes consistency. A one-off session can offer useful feedback, but it does not give us enough time to understand a player’s patterns, support them through different game situations and measure real progress. Over 12 weeks, I can become part of the player’s development, provide ongoing accountability and help turn insight into lasting habits.

Committed youth players who want to understand basketball, learn how to improve and take an active role in their development. Whether they already play matches or are working towards them, what matters is a willingness to learn, reflect and follow through between sessions. Their own game footage is not required.

Yes. Whether you play 1v1, 3x3 or 5v5, or you’re preparing to enter those competitions, the coaching is tailored to your goals and the format you want to compete in. Film study, game understanding and development priorities are shaped around the situations you’ll face.

They can still join. We can study footage of other players to explore situations and develop their understanding of the game. Sessions also give them space to talk through their goals, challenges, strengths and areas for improvement, with practical guidance and accountability between sessions. They do not need to be playing matches yet to benefit from the coaching.

No. If your child has footage, clear phone, parent-recorded or team video can work. We’ll check whether the angle and quality are useful for analysis. If they don’t have suitable footage, we can use examples from other players.

No coach can responsibly guarantee selection, minutes or performance. The programme helps players understand situations, develop stronger learning habits and make more informed decisions; outcomes also depend on their environment and engagement.

Courtside IQ focuses on understanding the game and learning how to improve as a player. Physical skills may come up when relevant, but sessions also cover goals, challenges, learning habits and purposeful independent practice. Personalised guidance and accountability help players put what they learn into action on and off the court.

No. Courtside IQ is delivered online so the coaching can focus on the areas players often receive less support with: understanding game situations, learning through film and reflection, planning purposeful independent work and staying accountable between sessions. It is designed to complement a player’s team practices and physical training, not replace them.

Yes. Parent involvement is welcomed, particularly during the initial assessment and four-week progress reviews.

If the family decides during the first 14 days that the programme is not the right fit, they can leave under the written guarantee terms provided before enrolment.
