COACHES:

The Fremd Feeder program prides itself on our coaching staff.  With their basketball experience and overall knowledge of the game we believe they can make every players experience a positive one.  Each team will have a head coach and possibly an assistant coach.  Each coach will be in contact with the team on a weekly basis addressing practices, games and tournament schedules.

PLAYING TIME:

Our mission is to develop each and every player in the Fremd Feeder program.  Each kid will play in the first half and the 2nd half.  The last 5 minutes it's up to the coach’s discretion on who he decides will play in the end of the game.  Please respect the coach’s decisions.  If you have an issue with anything please approach the coach in a timely and respectable manner.  If it is something you would rather talk to me about then please email me at kkessel@hotmail.com

TESTIMONIALS:

  • “After having all of my kids play for Kessel Heat we as a family can’t be happier with our children’s development. The program focuses on four key aspects for development ball handling, passing, defense, and speed of play. All of my kids have really enjoyed working with different coaches and trainers from the Kessel Heat program.” – Rick Schoffstall
  • “My two sons both started with Kessel basketball in 5th grade. They learned the game the right way from Kyle Kessel and his coaches. Fundamentals, defense and teamwork are the princeples heavily stressed by the Kessel staff. In my opinion, there is no better teacher of the game at this level than Illinois Coaching Hall of Famer, Coach Dennis Kessel. He works on skills in practice and stresses those same skills in the game. My son’s now play basketball at Fremd High School and they hold those same principles to this day. If your child is serious about getting better at basketball and learning from the top coaches in Illinois, I would strongly recommend the Kessel program. – Keith Martin
  • “My three boys (age 15, 15, and 12) have been enrolled in the Kessel year round basketball program for the past eight years. Under Kyle’s and Dennis’s tutelage, as well as other NCAA certified coaches within the Kessel program, my sons have developed basketball skills and knowledge that have allowed them to successfully compete both at the grade school and high school levels. I have found the Kessel program to be not only large enough to accommodate and teach basketball fundamentals to both the recreational and advanced player, but also small enough to where you and your child are treated like family. The Kessel program has provided the stability, quality coaching and encouragement for a young player to develop his or her basketball skills to its potential. It is up to the individual player, through dedication and practice, as to which level he or she wants to compete as a basketball player.” – Andrew Smyros
