Who we are

Dribble Drive Basketball is a family run business, founded by Dennis Kelly. Dennis was an NCAA Division 1 player and referee, and his sons, Rich and John, both played Division 1 at the University of Massachusetts. In addition, DDB's coaching staff also includes DDB alumni, who went on to play high school and/or college basketball, and now give back to the next generation of players.

Small Group Workouts

Small group workouts combine technical skill development with competitive situations. These workouts are typically one hour long, and may be broken up by age, skill level, and gender. Workouts are held at the Derby Veteran's Community Center at 35 Fifth Street, Derby, CT.

Private Workouts

In addition to small group training, we offer private 1 on 1, as well as private group training. Private sessions allow a more intimate, catered workout to the player(s) involved.

Camps

At DDB, we focus on teaching players how to win in basketball, but more importantly, in life. We do this by implementing a process driven mentality within our players, with a focus on controlling what they have control over, and keeping a positive mentality each day... and each play.

Shoot-A-way Gun

The Shoot-A-Way Gun has revolutionized player development and exponentially allows players to become better shooters. It is used by the best teams and players in the world, and we have 2 of them! Come gets some shots up with the gun!

Other services

Currently, DDB has a number of youth basketball teams, and runs leagues, coaches clinics, and basketball events. Stay tuned for more info on upcoming events such as 3 on 3 tournaments, Free Throw/3 pt shooting contests, and Black Jack Ryan: The Hoop Wizard.

Thoughts from our DDB community

Coach Dennis is an expert at creating an environment in his camps, leagues, and training sessions that promotes personal growth as a player and person. Dennis teaches the importance of values, confidence, and positivity, while helping players of all ages and positions to learn important fundamentals and the ways they can improve their overall game. I highly recommend any camps or training sessions Dennis hosts. You will not be disappointed by how genuine of a coach he is.

Samuel B.

My son, Jack has attended camps and sessions for over 5 years. The expertise that Dennis and team bring to each session is only surpassed by the care and dedication to his player’s growth. Dennis has made an impact on Jack’s life and we are so grateful. He is the best!

Melissa P.

My son has been attending Dennis’ camps for a several years now. My son will tell you that Dennis taught him how to shoot and with each session he has gained more confidence and skill. Dennis not only teaches basketball fundamentals, he teaches his students to believe in themselves, to never give up, and to keep working and practicing. His rapport with his students and their parents is remarkable.

Thank you Dennis.

Tracie P.

DDB is great place to learn the fundamentals of basketball. Anyone can coach, but can the coach teach? Dennis and his coaches use drills, with explanations of why they’re effective in getting results. My kids love it!

John P.

Dennis Kelly knows kids! He teaches skills at appropriate developmental levels. He is invested in each one of his campers, making sure he/she learns new skills in a fun, socially inviting atmosphere. He's a fantastic teacher, mentor, coach who builds relationships with kids and their families that last a lifetime!

Leslie K.

Dennis is an amazing coach, role model, and mentor!! He has been coaching my son for years and he always looks forward to the summer camp and year-round clinics. Not only do the kids learn how to play the game but they also have fun!! Highly recommend this program!

Barbara M.

Awesome program! Dennis Kelly is patient, respectful, motivating and has the ability to connect with kids of all ages. He knows when to push them and keeps it fun! Best basketball program around!

Cheryl D.

Dennis Kelly has been working with my children now for the past 7 years and it’s made such a big difference for them. Dennis not only teaches basketball skills, but develops life skills for these young boys and girls that go way further than the basketball court. Thank you for all you do for the local community Dennis, it does not go unnoticed.

Jeff B.

My son worked with Dennis as often as possible and his game got better each time he went!
Dennis is a great teacher of the game and on top of that he knows how to relate to the kids!
I strongly recommend Dribble Drive Basketball to anyone who wants to improve their game!

John B.

Coach Kelly and his crew create a positive, friendly atmosphere while instilling the fundamentals of basketball inspiring everyone to be better players!

Shaye R.

As a basketball parent who used to run one of the local leagues, I'm often asked for recommendations for basketball training and coaching.  I have one answer:  Dribble Drive.  Dennis Kelly is unmatched in his passion for and knowledge about basketball and, more importantly, he cares about the growth of each individual as both a player and a person.
