Denise Rizzo, Parent
“My daughter started with Sydney 1 year ago when she was 6 years old. I did not think it was possible for a child that young to make the progress she has in such a short period of time. Sydney has tremendous patience and adapts to each player's skill level. Every lesson introduces new drills so my daughter never gets bored of doing the same drills over and over again. My daughter went from being timid in every aspect of basketball to becoming a confident, well rounded player who cannot wait to practice with Sydney and show off her skills on game day. My daughter will continue with Sydney for many many years because of her ability to make practice fun while teaching the skills needed to be an amazing player.”

"Sydney is hands-down the best basketball trainer l've ever trained with. Since training with Sydney, I've felt overall more confident in my game. Sydney worked with me towards my goal to develop from a post player to a guard. During my last club season I was able to become a better shooter with a tougher drive to the basket. I'm extremely grateful for her role in my personal and basketball growth as a player."

“I'm so lucky to have found Tyra because she is an amazing coach and is so fun to be around. She is always smiling and happy to see me when I walk in the gym and makes an effort to connect with everyone- She even has unique hand shakes with her players. Tyra is a great coach because she challenges us to be better and helps us improve, but doesn't yell or get mad if we don't understand something. l've learned so many specific skills and details from her that have improved my game a lot. She's taught me to be a more confident player and has helped me so much. I'm so glad I know her and can have her as a coach. She's so radical!!”

"Our daughter has been working one on one and in small groups with Kelly for a few months now. We love her coaching style and positive attitude. Coach Kelly really works to understand each individual player and help them improve on their skills. We highly recommend Kelly!"

"I cannot thank the Detailed Basketball family enough! Our daughter Livi has been training with Coach Sydney for the past two years; she has developed unbelievable confidence in her game. Livi looks forward to every training session and is always asking for more. The fun part about it is that she is putting in extra chores to earn her sessions, which makes it equally rewarding. The trainings are dynamic and fun and also work on the skills that are unique to each individual player. The Detailed family also knows how to motivate each player and push them to their fullest potential. We are looking forward to this season and watching Livi learning and growing! Thank you!"

"Coach Kopp has the expertise and knowledge for every player's needs and areas of improvement. She pays attention to details and provides skills training necessary to improve each of her players. Coach Kopp continues to refine my skills and keeps me motivated to be a better player. I leave each training session more confident than when I walked in. Thank you Coach Kopp!"

Courtney Bridgeforth, Bartlett High School Varsity Player
"I have been training with Coach Kopp for three years. Every time I get in the gym with her, she pushes me to do better than yesterday and grow from the player I am at. She helped me perfect my fundamentals which made a big difference during games. My favorite part about her training sessions is working on conditioning with shooting because this translated to my shooting in games which has seen great improvement. Coach Kopp also helped me with my basketball IQ by explaining the offensive reads while finishing and always showing me counter moves. Every time I went to a private session with her I told her what I could use improvement on and I always noticed a difference that made me play better for my next game. I am beyond grateful I am trained by Coach Kopp - she is a fun and tough coach to have."

"From the moment my daughter started training with Coach Sydney Kopp her confidence has grown so much. In the last couple of months, she has made a huge difference in her offensive skills, especially ball handling and shooting. The training sessions begin with a series of warm-up drills followed by intensive drills (ball-handling, shooting, pick & roll, footwork, finishing at the rim, passing, etc.) performed in a fashion that builds not only skill, but strength. I have been thoroughly impressed with Coach Sydney and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to become a better basketball player."

Lily Newton, Waubonsie Valley Varsity Player
"I met Coach Sydney almost a year ago and she became my personal trainer very quickly. She values the same parts of the game as me and her trainings have helped me greatly! She's a super flexible trainer and is always texting me to figure out dates and times that work best for me. My finishing, ball handling, shooting, and footwork have all noticeably developed since l've started training with her. She's been an important part of my basketball career and I'm super grateful for her!"

Drew Ondik, IL Rockets Coach
"Sydney led our fall 2022 skills training program, and she did an outstanding job! Her sessions are well planned out and fast-paced. She helps players score on all 3 levels while also helping her students gain ball-handling proficiency. Sydney explains the "why" while demonstrating the "how." We look forward to working with her again for our fall 2023 skills training program."

“Sydney Kopp is a caring and talented coach. She has an exceptional eye for detail which enables her to provide immediate feedback to individual players. The drills she runs in lessons challenge her students mentally and physically, so the girls arrive well-prepared to excel in practice and on game day. Her passion for basketball and dedication to helping each player achieve their personal best is second to none."

Brad Mann, Parent
"Sydney is a game changer for any hoops player out there. Sydney truly cares about her players and is passionate about training her players. Sydney provides not only individual workouts but also group workouts. Individual workouts allows my daughter to work on skills specific to her, which includes ball handling, finishing and shooting. Sydney loves game feedback from me which allows her to take that feedback and implement it into my daughters workout plan. What sets Sydney's workouts apart from other trainers is that she pushes my daughter to uncomfortable limits. Sydney does not accept a player going "soft" in her workouts! My daughter loves the challenging and highly competitive groups sessions - it takes the girls game to the next level. No one wants to lose in the shooting competitions! My daughter has gained tremendous confidence since she began working with Sydney a year ago. My daughter loves Sydney workouts and looks forward to them each and every week! I would highly recommend Sydney to any player looking to take their game to the next level."
