Joel is an excellent basketball instructor with his wealth of knowledge and experience in the game. He has a winning attitude and interacts well with all kids of all ages.He prepares your child to play basketball to his or her full potential.If you wanna take your child to the next level, call Joel and get into lessons as soon as possible. I’ll be taking my son there as soon as his basketball season is over.Thanks to Joel, my son has made the freshman basketball team at his school. My son’s success is undoubtedly from the training with Joel.

I sent my nephew here to be coached by Joel because I heard such great things from a friend of mine who’s son also attended. He came home after every practice raving about how much fun he was having and we really saw his motor skills improving.I love what they are doing and would definitely recommended them. Keep Up the good work!

My son has been training with Joel for over 2 years and I have seen growth beyond measure in him as a player and person. Joel is very knowledgeable in basketball and has taught him things that his basketball coaches havent taught him. He is invested in every player that he trains and his passion shows through at every session. He has been a mentor off the court for my son and has made an impact on my son that will last a lifetime. You cant find a better trainer - he is truly an amazing person!

Coach Joel is an amazing basketball instructor. He’s been training my sons for the last few years and they have excelled significantly. He builds a strong connection with each and everyone one of his kids, he motivates them to do well in school as well as in basketball and pushes them to be great! I strongly recommend you take your kids to Joel! My sons look forward to training with him every week!

My son started attending You Reach I Teach over a year ago and I could not be happier with this decision. I was looking for a program that would push him to the next level. Coach Joel is very knowledgeable and resourceful in developing kid’s fundamental skill. All while fueling their passion for the game. My son now trusts himself to manage the ball with his non dominant hand, is relying more on his defensive skills, and understands that hard work over talent is the key. All lessons that come out of this program. I highly recommend You Reach I Teach!!

You reach I teach is not only the #1 basketball academy in Montgomery County MD, but it’s the most determined. Looking to build confidence, Whether it’s on the court or in the player coach Joel invest in what matters most. Not to mention, summer camp was great, Convenient and fun

Great organization. Coach Joel does an excellent job with the kids and teaches them b-ball and life skills. My son loves going here as opposed to another b-ball skills training program I used to take him to.

Coach Joel is a phenomenal teacher and coach. He genuinely cares about the kids and teaching them the skills and fundamentals of basketball. I continue to notice the changes and growth in my son under his tutelage.

Joel is extremely attention to detail! You can really tell how much passion he has behind his work. Great with all ages and the athletes love him! He has improved my cousins game in such a short time frame (3 months) , I can only imagine after a year! I’m super excited to be a part of what Coach Barkers is creating for our young athletes and HIGHLY recommend him and his gym!!!

Joel is a professional, dedicated to perfecting his craft. He is extremely focused on providing quality skill work to young student athletes. Many of the kids that I have taken to Joel for training, walk away from the workouts feeling more confident than ever before. Highly recommended.

We have had the best training from here and our daughter has been noticed by many coaches since training with coach Joel. Her improvement has been amazing! I would highly recommend You Reach I Teach to anyone looking for bball training in Montgomery county.

My son loves going to basketball lessons with Coach Joel. My son is very shy and never really wanted to do basketball training with a group so we decided to do private lessons. His skills have developed so much that he has become more confident and will even attend the group workouts now although he still prefers the private one on one sessions.

I brought my son to Coach Joel a little less than year ago when he deceided to give up baseball and play basketball. My son has learned so much and has improved 200%! He has helped him improve in all aspects of the game. He has done both private lessons and group sessions and has also gone to the camps offered which were great. Coach Joel is without a doubt the best trainer around. I would highly recommend!!

Joel is a patience and knowledgeable coach with a knack for keeping his clients motivated. Joel’s willingness to share his expertise and his love for teaching basketball is an amazing combination for player success!

I was recommended by a family friend to bring my nephews to you reach I teach and Joel embraces the kids as if their his own. A real family oriented experience. Quality training and Core values that pertain on and off the court.

Today was the first camp my son has ever experienced in all 9 years of his life. I was extremely nervous because he suffers from anxiety and has struggled with “fitting in”. When I picked him up today, it was like he was a brand new child. I had to hide my tears of joy and relief. In just one day, his confidence has boosted and basketball has become his new hobby over fortnite and other video games that I thought he would never get away from. I can’t put into words how happy I am. Coach Joel brings out the absolute best in kids and I’ve witnessed it with my own eyes. Such a major blessing. My son’s future is so bright. I always knew he was talented but I have always been worried as to how he could shine. Now I know. Highly recommend.

I have taken my nephew to YRIT. It was an awesome experience. Joel has the experience and expertise to teach anyone who wants to get better!

Best basketball training in DMV. Excellent focus on improving technical part of the game - footwork, handle and shot mechanics. Very professional atmosphere for all levels including AAU. Highly recommended for parents looking for tops in youth basketball development in DMV.

Best basketball coach in da dmv works with you and gonna make you 200% better.

More than just basketball but a mentor who has been where they are and want to go

If you want your child to improve their basketball skills, then You Reah I teach is the place to get that improvement. Let’s start with the welcoming environment from the staff as well as the campers. Joel is awesome with the campers and provides a safe and fun atmosphere. My son loves to go to all of the You Reach I Teach activites. No school, no problem Joel has camps during most of these days as well as spring break and winter break. I wouldn’t trust my son with any other basketball camp and neither should you!

This program has been invaluable for my son! We have seen a marked improvement in just a few weeks! Great for endurance, coordination, and technique!

Joel is absolutely amazing! Teandre has always been in football since he was a small kid, but had a real passion for basketball. When Teandre first started training with Joel he wasnt that good, and Joel continuously worked with him on the weekend, and also during camp. He will be trying out for his high school basketball team this year, and I am sure he will make it :) Thanks Joel

Very structured program run by professional athletes Joel Barkers, Mamadi Diane

Awesome Basketball Academy
