No matter where you begin, you’ll reach the next level when you practice, focus, and enjoy the experience.
Coach Berry founded Next Level 805 Basketball in 2017. Its focus is teaching skills development and player improvement through player clinics, club team clinics, camps, and one-on-sessions for males and females from 3rd to 12th grades.
Since its creation, Coach Berry has taught dozens of youth players from nine different club programs along the Central Coast.
One of Coach Berry’s earliest memories is shooting hoops on the floor of The Forum while the LA Lakers warmed up. He was five years old.
To say Coach Berry loves the game of basketball doesn’t come close to describing both his deep understanding of the game (honed from years as a highly competitive player) and his appreciation of the positive aspects it can bring to life on and off the court. His goal is to share this experience with youth players and their parents.
Not only does Coach Berry know basketball from every angle, he grew up on the Central Coast.
As a coach of the Arroyo Grande High School Varsity Boys Basketball team, as well as a referee for local club teams, he knows the world of basketball both here and beyond.
Today, college coaches reach out to Coach Berry about certain players he’s training, as they consider students to recruit. In addition, college players choose to work with Coach Berry in the off-season to better their game and skill level.
Gehrig K. is all smiles signing his acceptance letter to Dallas Christian College. Here’s what he has to say about Coach Berry’s teaching:
“Spencer takes time with his players. He makes sure we’re fully understanding what aspect of the game we’re working on and from there he makes sure we’re getting game-like reps. The sessions have definitely helped my game.”
