About VC Basketball
Coach Vinny
Coleman.
Columbus, Ohio native·Former professional player·8+ years training athletes
Founder and head trainer at VC Basketball Training, Coach Vinny works with young athletes to build real basketball skills, confidence, and consistency.
The starting point
No two players
are the same.
Great coaching starts with paying attention.
Coach Vinny watches how each player moves, what comes naturally, where they struggle, and what they are capable of.
Instead of forcing every athlete into the same mold, training builds from the player's current skill set and develops what they need next.
The VC approach
Develop the player.
Not just the skill.
Build from there
Training starts with what the player already does well and builds the skills that will move their game forward.
Apply it
Learning a skill is only the beginning. Players need to use it, repeat it, and build confidence using it in the game.
Attention in every rep
The difference
Coaching is more
than drills.
The goal isn't to put players through a list of drills. It's to understand the player in front of you.
Coach Vinny connects with athletes, pays attention to how they learn, and adjusts the training around what they actually need.
That creates a place where players can work hard, understand why they're doing something, and leave knowing what they can work on next.
What we build
Skills you can
take into the game.
Ball handling

Taking the skills from training and learning how to use them.
What parents are saying
Real families.

“Every session is built around what my daughter actually needs. She leaves the gym excited and ready to work harder next time.

Coach Vinny Coleman
Present. Personal. Purposeful.
His why
Ever since I stepped away from professional basketball, I’ve always asked myself, ‘What’s next?’ Basketball has given me so much throughout my life. It has allowed me to travel, build relationships, connect with families and friends, and experience opportunities I will always be grateful for.
Now, what brings me the most joy is seeing young athletes pursue the same dream I once had. I was fortunate enough to take my basketball journey as far as I did, and I understand the work, discipline, sacrifice, and belief it takes to reach your goals.
Today, I’m passionate about giving that knowledge back. I love serving my community, developing young athletes, and helping the next generation build the skills, confidence, and mindset necessary to accomplish their goals — both on and off the court.
