HOOP HOUSE ATHLETICS
prioritizing development
We're a different kind of training company. Our number one goal at Hoop House Athletics is player development. Our focus is to help players develop and improve their skillset and accomplish their goals within the game of basketball. Intensive and targeted work on fundamentals and skill development such as ball handling, footwork, shooting mechanics, ​endurance training, and team integration are all highlighted in our work with youth. Whether your player needs 1:1 training, group trainings targeting shooting or fundamental skill development, or you're seeking team participation wherein those skills may be put to the test, we're here to help your player develop, grow and succeed.
