Our mission is simple.

Making Moves NYC program offers student-athletes the opportunity to develop their athletic abilities while helping to shape their character and better prepare them for sports, education, and life at the next level.

Basketball is just one of our platforms for youth development. Our method combines basketball drills with educational discussions while reinforcing these activities in a safe environment. Kids come to play and learn about the game they love and go home with much more. Athletes in the program earn the opportunity to translate the skills they’ve learned during training and practice to live game and team situations through our club teams.

Testimonials

Melinda G.

Carl and his team (with a special shoutout to Coach Sean!) have impacted my son in too many ways for me to say in a short testimonial. not only have my son’s basketball skills been transformed, but so has his soul. He has found strength (literally and emotionally) beyond my wildest dreams because of the energy, wisdom and care that Carl brings to Making Moves. I am forever grateful.

Ashley S.

My only wish is that we had found Carl earlier! Hands down the best ball handling coach around. Will & Mary Ashley are always challenged at each workout. Love his drills and he has made both kids handle so much better.

Vivienne K.

Carl is a great training coach. He has helped my shooting and handling develop immensely. He understands the game and how to train a player for live play. He’s not only a great coach but a great person to be around I always have fun practicing with him.

In his time working with Carl Benn, my son has grown a tremendous amount as a basketball player. I've never seen a better teacher for honing skills and developing young talent. More than that, though, I've seen my son become a more confident, outgoing and ambitious person than he was in the past. I would recommend Carl as a coach and mentor for any young player with absolutely no reservations.
