Hi Mommies, if you’re looking for an amazing basketball coach, I’d have to say we’ve found the best coach. Coach Walter has been coaching my kids and my friends’ kids for close to 2 years and not only they’ve learned so much from, his classed are always their favorite. He is knowledgeable, professional, flexible and a wonderful human being. This is his number in case you want to try him. Coach Walter (323) 204-2280

To whom it may concern:
My daughter was invited to a summer basketball camp several years ago by a fellow parent at our school. We attended the camp and I was so impressed with Walter as an instructor that I began having my daughter take both group and private lessons from him, which we have continued to do for several years following the camp. I can’t say enough about Walter and his ability to coach kids! My daughter continued to progress in her skills in large part due to him. She has been the captain of her school team for the past two years, was the recipient of the “Hustle Award” at the Nike High Intensity Basketball Camp this past summer and is currently playing on a travel team. The quality individual instruction that Walter has given her over the past several years has been invaluable and I would recommend him to any parent looking to have their child learn basketball skills for the first time or to continue to hone their skills and become a better player.
Very truly yours,

Walter has been training our 4 children for over 2 years now. He mostly trains our 11 year old girl
and 9 year old boy in Basketball, where they have made tremendous progress, my girl is about to
join a club team and is the best on her school team. My boy is starting 4th grade and is very
advanced for his age. Walter has also taught flag football, soccer and also does full body workouts
with my older kids. He started teaching our 5 year old twin boys this year in all sports mentioned
and is currently teaching them swimming. He has taught them freestyle, breaststroke, underwater
swimming, and even taught them how to dive already, I’m so glad we can feel safe when they
swim in the deep end. He has been nothing but a positive influence on our kids and most
importantly they love him and love working out with him. We highly recommend Walter to train
your children in all the sports we discussed. He even comes to our kids games. He is a rare breed.
Sincerely,
Allan and Lilly S.

To Whom it May Concern:
This letter of recommendation is written for Walter Hyman with much pleasure, because of the
positive effect that he has had on my kids.Walter has been coaching my boys (ages 7 and 9) for the
past two years.We have been participating in his Wednesday afternoon basketball clinic during the
school year and my boys love it.They get a great workout, while learning good sportsmanship and
technique.
In addition, Walter provided intensive swimming instruction to my boys this summer.They met once
per week for private lessons and my children were given specific instruction on developing their
strokes.Walter praised their strengths and helped develop the areas where they were weak.They are
very confident swimmers now and have developed a great love for swimming and respect for the
water.
I feel that Walter’s classes have just the right balance of instruction and fun.I highly recommend
Walter as a coach for either basketball or swimming and feel that my children greatly benefitted by
having him as their coach.
Very truly yours,

growing ability.

What can I say about Walter Hyman?
He is the best coach for Teaching Basketball! He has our 5 year old son making shots on a regulation basket with a
regulation ball. Our son Sammy is so excited to be coached by Walter, he always says, Walter Believes in me and helps
me do drills and make all the shots.
Walter, Thank you for all you do! You are Awesome!

Hi Walter,
It’s Tule,
I wanted to say hello and thank you for being the perfect adult figure, and for helping me learn basketball and also
supporting me in my soccer. I never really got to thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to come watch my
soccer games. Thank you for everything. I’m thinking in a year I will graduate high schoool and I have to face the real
world and go to college and work at the same time. I wish I was still young and going to my jr. high and the YMCA.
Thank you Walter.
Your friend, Tule O.

Walter, are you really leaving? I can’t believe it! You have done so much for the Junior Knicks league. I remember back
when Junior Knicks consisted of 4 teams all in the same league. Coming back over winter break and seeing what you
have done with the league was so great! I hope that you know what an impact Saturday mornings at the Vanderbilt Y has
had on me personally. Not just in improving my skills, although we all know that when I first started I didn’t even want to
touch the ball, but also inspiring a certain confidence on and off the court. You were such a large part of that. Thanks for
everything, Walter. I’ll miss you so much and I’m sure that every one of the other kids will too.
