​

Q: What characteristics identify the “committed player?”
A: Hoops 360 is for committed players only, which we define as a player committed to playing on his or her middle-school, high-school or college team and dedicated to doing what it takes to improve as a player.
 

Q: How is Hoops 360 different from other basketball training that I see offered?
A: We provide objective and honest feedback & assessment of your child's skill level. We offer relevant, game applicable training. Not only do we prepare players to compete/dominate at their current level, we also develop and strengthen the player's total game for the future. While developing basketball games, we also develop mental toughness and mental peak performance training as players identify what it is to be an excellent person and leader.
 

Q: Is Hoops 360 private lessons?
A: While private lessons can certainly be beneficial, we believe small group training to be a far more effective approach for this type of comprehensive approach. Athlete’s still receive plenty of individual attention. Our small groups are skill and age based and we strive to keep our player to coach ratio at no more than 6:1.
