"Coach Malone and Sara took my daughter....who never picked up a basketball previously....and in just a few months brought her skills and fundamentals in the game to a competitive level-enough to make her school team! The quote that comes to mind watching Coach work with my daughter comes from Churchill "Never, ever, ever, ever, give up! David P.
Coaches Hunt and Malone are simply two of the best youth basketball coaches you can find. We are lucky to have them in our area.

Sara, thank you for working at our camp this summer. You were a natural with the kids...they all enjoyed being in your group. Hope you can come back next year. Brian Beaury, College of St. Rose Mens Basketball Coach
Coach Malone, we wanted to personally thank you for how well you worked with the players and the parents. Anthony had a great basketball season. He enjoyed having you as a coach and learned a lot about the game that he loves so much. Thank you all for the time you put in to help our son better his game and the many other skills he also learned in the process. Anne & Anthony
Coach Malone, Thank you for working with my daughter she has thoroughly enjoyed her lessons. Her lessons have given her a greater confidence and the skills that she has learned has helped her tremendously in her CYO and travel league. You have taught her valuable skills that she needs now and will carry with her throughout her basketball years. Dawn B.
Chuck Hunt is a loyal, dedicated, hard working coach who really puts his heart into his coaching. Don Bassett, Green Mountain Basketball Camp Director, Former Local College & High School Basketball Coach.
This morning’s training with coach Hunt went very well. He is exactly the type of coach I was looking for to help my son. F.S.
Because of the lessons from Sara, Jackie is doing really well in basketball. As a matter of fact, many of her friend's parents/coaches have noted how much she has improved – I have given your name to some parents who will be in contact with you. G.S.
Coach Malone, my son Jeff had a WONDERFUL time this winter with you. Thank you so much! Marcy Z.
Sara Malone was a coach on the floor. She has the ability as a player to see the whole game. She will be an excellent teacher of basketball fundamentals! John Thurston, Assistant Women’s Basketball Coach, Fordham University
My son had 14 pts and 8 rebounds and 6 assists in last night’s Freshman High School team’s win against Watervliet. The lessons are paying off. G.F
Coach Malone, thanks for everything – Your practice sessions are the best. Ryan has enjoyed the time with you and has learned a lot. He grew a lot over the last few months - both as a person and player...we have you to thank for that. Jeff K.
Coach Malone, thank you so much for coaching our boys. Our boys played and grew so much individually. But more than that they grew into a team and it showed every time they played - that comes only from having a coach that laid the foundation down for them to be a team. I appreciate you helping Connor grow as a player and I hope that he is lucky enough next year to have you again - a coach that makes playing fun but also pushes the kids to do and be their best and to act as a team - not as an individual player - and to teach them that if they want to be good at anything it requires a lot of practice. Thank you so much. Carol D.
We took our daughter to the ER tonight because her finger that she hurt during her team’s basketball game was not getting better. The x-ray shows it is broken. They say 3 to 4 weeks for the splint. She tells me she still wants to work with 'Coach Malone' with training, and that she can use her (good) left hand to do drills! I was really pleased with her attitude and willingness to push through her first significant injury. D.P.
Ed, As always, I thank you for your continued support, help and guidance with the City Rocks. Working with you is always a pleasure. The players are lucky to have you and Chuck Hunt. Jim Hart, President – City Rocks AAU
Coach Malone comes to the court everyday with enthusiasm for every kid who wants to play ball. If you want it, he’ll give you the tools to make it to the next level. Having him as a coach definitely helped build my own career in basketball as well as giving me tools to navigate as a point guard through life. Sara D.
As an outstanding CYO player, my daughter was shocked to be cut from the freshman HS team. After working with Ed & Sara, she had no problem making the JV team the following year. C.P.
Thank you coach Malone for working with me to improve my basketball skills. I can say that I made my high school basketball team because you improved my shooting and overall defense. Also, thanks for encouraging me to practice the drills you gave me on my own. As I got better, I felt more confident in my playing ability and became a better teammate. James D.
If basketball is your son’s or daughter’s game, they will personally benefit from basketball lessons from Your Choice. My son and daughter could have never improved their individual skills on their own or with a team as much as they have with basketballLessons.net. The whole staff is great and committed to improving your child’s basketball skills. Greg F.
Coach Malone, thank you for working with my daughter and your encouragement. She is really loving basketball! Tina B.
Ed, thanks so much...my daughter has thoroughly enjoyed playing for you this year. I've seen her make some great improvements and it's because she's beginning to finally believe in herself. And that has everything to do with your confidence in her. There's no doubt that skills are important, but instilling that confidence has been an unexpected - and greatly appreciated - gift. K. B.
You're doing such a great job with the boys- and they've improved by leaps and bounds since the beginning of the season. Coach Malone, you are truly a basketball mentor for them and I'm happy Cameron's first experience in the game was with you. Thanks for everything. Deidre M.
As a player, working and playing for Chuck Hunt has been a great experience. He is a knowledgeable coach deeply rooted in the basketball community. His attitude and personality make him a great mentor for up-and-coming players. I would recommend Coach Hunt to any aspiring players. Jim Janson, Scotia-Glenville Senior, Class A Sectional MVP
