Helping athletes continue their basketball dreams since 2000

"Absolutely, I would without a doubt recommend an athlete train with Coach Rob. If you want to be pushed to another level and improve your skills and mental game, then you should train with Coach Rob. Coach Rob has pushed me to levels I did not know I could reach. This is especially important as a collegiate athlete because the workouts are on a different level in terms of strength and mental toughness. Coach Rob will focus on areas that you need to improve, whether it is off the court strengthening parts of your body, or skills on the court. I think one of the most valuable aspect of training that Coach Rob offers is film sessions. Film is very helpful as an athlete and I would strongly recommend taking advantage of what Coach Rob offers. I can definitely say that Coach Rob has prepared me for college basketball and has improved me as a player through the training that we have done together."
- Peyton Carter, Monarch HS '17/ University of Colorado / Elon

safe training and covid-19

"The health and welfare of our community has always been and remains a top priority for Shine Basketball. We have always maintained sanitization, limited gym attendance guidelines, and safe group training practices since we began training in 2000. As COVID-19 has impacted our community, we proactively instituted additional cleaning protocols and safety measures to continue to provide the safest environment possible for our athletes, their families, and our staff. We continue to remain in contact with Tri-County Health Officials, the City of Denver, and the State of Colorado resources to ensure that we are following all directives to deliver our programs in a compliant and safe manner. "
- Coach Rob, Director

"Our daughter has completed one full year with Shine Basketball Academy. Through Shine's process, she has grown to be a confident player/person on/off the court through her skills and basketball IQ. An intense, well-balanced approach Rob has created. Highly recommend Colorado's best kept secret."
