I just can't say enough about Brock and this program, and more importantly how much he has meant to our son and our family. He invests in both the player and the person, and has meant so much to our oldest son's development as a player and a human being. Grateful we met Brock and would recommend him to anyone. read more

Brock was such an amazing find. He trained my son and 3 of his friends and within a very short amount of time, they gained so much confidence and knowledge of the game. They grew as player! They boys all love and respected him. He was patient and firm at the same time. We will keep the training going. Worth the time and money! Brock, you are truly great at what you do!! read more

If you love basketball and wanna get better hire these guys they are pros! I brought my 9 year old son and he has improved 100% since training with these guys. read more

Found Riseup basketball back in 2015 when my son was barely 6 years old. We had first scheduled a trial run with DJ at the time and my son responded to his training well. After the practice Coach Brock passed by to check in with us and gave some honest feedback on my sons potential as a ball player. As a parent you can only teach so much and push them only so far that there will come a time where you will need so help brining your child to the next level. My son has always demonstrated hard work and a never give up attitude on top of being very athletic that it was only right to invest in more training. Things were starting to fall into place and we started training with Coach Brock since early 2017and the progress My son has made has been tremendous. Coach Brock understands the concept of teaching kids as much as he can because of how well they are able to absorb information. During group sessions no time is wasted on practicing solo fundamental drills maybe 5 or 10 mins which I think is prefect because if you are serious you should be practicing the fundamentals by ur self in your own time. But majority of practice is where the kids are learning how to play the actual game. 1 on 1 sessions is where He will help you perfect your personal style of play into becoming more effective. My son is now full time training with Riseup basketball and is enjoying every minute of it. If you are serious about having your kids training with kids that live and breathe basketball and take the game and training seriously I recommend checking out Riseup basketball. read more

Phil has been working with my 8 year-old son for a few months now, and after the first lesson, my husband and I saw immediate improvement in his game. Phil was able to identify my son's strengths and weaknesses, and developed individualized drills that helped take him to a whole new level! The drills are challenging, but Phil ignited a fire in my son, and an insatiable passion for The Game. Besides always being prompt, Phil was very respectful of my time and availability. He connected with my son in a way that other private coaches weren't able to. The one-on-one coaching technique is definitely the way to go if you want your child to really understand how to play basketball. Both my husband and I can't thank Phil enough for his patience, enthusiasm, and extensive knowledge of basketball, that he has shared with our son. Catrina Payne read more

Phil and Brock have been working with my daughter off and on for a while now. They both have a deep respect and love for the game and it rubs off on anyone they coach. My daughter is now being primed to be the starting Point Guard for her freshman team, thanks to Phil and Brock. with these guys your kids will: - have exceptional ball handling skills - have perfect form (pointed out by her freshman coaches) - discover a new love for the game, with almost immediate results. my highest recommendation. read more

After hearing from a handful of friends how fabulous Rise Up has been for their children, I decided to sign my son up for the Fall to check it out for myself... They are amazing with the kids and keep each practice fun. They are learning all kinds of news skills, sportsmanship, and of course, all about the game of basketball. We're thrilled so far with this program and anticipate staying involved for years to come read more

Heard about them through a friend and thought I would give them a try. Needed to get my son off the video games and into something else. Since he's into basketball figured this would be a good fit. They have great prices compared to some other companies which is a definite plus. After a week or so my son was looking forward to every session. The main trainer Brock is a great coach, Very polite and good with kids. Only reason I give it 4 stars is because they don't have to many locations. And traffic in la isn't to kind. Definitely recommend to all parents in need of a cheap activity for their kids. read more

My son has been training consistently with Brock at Rise Up since fourth grade. When he first started training, he couldn't do the basic footwork for a layup. My son has improved steadily every month thru the team practices, Rise Up Academy trainings and occasional private trainings. My son is now a solid contributor for his freshman High School team, and still trains with Rise Up as often as possible, working to be a stand-out varsity player. Brock's coaching is fantastic for all levels, from 5 year olds to the professional players he helps improve. His passion and love of the game exudes, and the kids confidence, fun, and increased abilities ensue ! read more

If you want to get better at basketball, or if you want someone to help your son or daughter get better at basketball, Brock is the best. I played basketball in high school but wanted to get better to play in some work pick up games and found Brock through yelp. He exceeded my expectations in every way. We worked out twice a week up in North Hollywood for four months. I saw a major improvement in my playing even after our first session. One major thing that makes Brock stand out is that he is a great teacher. I'm a teacher myself and recognize that in him. He can explain the game and the plays and the strategy so that you aren't just running around the court willy-nilly-- you understand why you're doing it and what you are trying to accomplish and why you should fake this way and cross-over dribble here, etc. He doesn't just teach you "how," he teaches you "why." Brock coaches some middle school and high school teams as well. And he would be awesome to bring into your kid's rec league to show them some fundamentals and great drills. He would also be great helping your son or daughter get better to make the jayvee or varsity team or a travel team. He is incredibly nice and reliable as well. read more

Topnotch coach DJ has been extremely efficient and nice Great coach, great guy, serious workout and training Highly Recommended ! read more

Brock and DJ are awesome coaches! They genuinely care about the kids, they are fun, competitive and professional. I am so happy I found them before I took my daughter anywhere else. They are flexible with practice locations which are very conveinient. My daughter had 3 lessons with Brock when we first started in March and I saw a huge improvement in just that short time so of course we kept on going with the lessons. We practice with Rise Up twice a week and did the summer camp with them. Their training style is so impressive, they really know how to push the kids to take them to the next level. They tailor the lessons to your child's needs to strengthen their weaknesses and elevate their strengths. I could go on and on with how great they are. Try them out, you won't be disappointed. read more

I've been working with Brock, Phil and DJ for about six months. As an adult, I was looking for a different kind of workout - so tired of going to the gym! Basketball sounded fun. I love working out outside and every day the workouts are different, so I'm constantly motivated to go... It's been a long time since I've been so consistent with a workout plan. I've also had sessions that are focused on fitness/weights instead of basketball, and those are some of the best personal training sessions I've ever had. Finding a good trainer in L.A. can be difficult, so many are actors just doing it on the side... I highly recommend Rise Up for basketball and personal training. read more

My two sons, eight and ten years old, have been training with Rise Up for a few months now and I have been very impressed. Phil is their main coach but Brock has also shown up on occasion. Phil is very patient with the boys and is teaching them skills they would not get while playing in the local league because of the lack of individual attention and skills of the volunteer parent/coaches. I like that the children are given drills - "homework" - to do in between their sessions so it's helping to keep them active and provides an alternative to video game playing. They are very polite, prompt and easy to schedule with. One of my children has moderate ADHD which sometimes is apparent, but Phil has been patient and gentle while offering tons of encouragement. I highly recommend Rise Up. read more

I found Brock after seeing a little kid with goggles dribbling behind the back in my son's 7-8 year old league and getting the referral from his mother. Brock has worked really well with my son, gets along with kids well and the lessons have paid off. My son, who is one of the smallest kids in the league, scored 22 points today. My son and I then walked over to another game going on in the same league. Two teams combined for the entire game with 22 points. Credit goes where credit is due. read more

Brock and DJ are the best. We've been training for about 2 years. Training is hard, focused and fun. They're flexible with schedule and care about the kids. Thx for everything guys!! read more
