OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE

A TRANSFORMATIONAL BASKETBALL EXPERIENCE.

In today's basketball culture, the sport has become far more about performance and pressure, rather than embracing it for the lifelong relationships, qualities, and positive experiences it can provide. At BTG, we help the athlete improve, but more importantly, we emphasize:

  • Developing leadership skills for success on and off the court.

  • Experiencing the most fun and engaging basketball training, while building essential life skills.

  • Investing in long-term growth through competitive, holistic development.

TESTIMONIES

SUCCESSFUL STORIES

I wanted my son to get the edge he needed to become a college basketball player. Coach Myson helped [David] by not only training him on the skill he needed to secure a scholarship, but he went as far as playing against him to make sure he was ready to perform in front of college coaches. I would recommend Hoops Univeristy to anyone who wants their son or daughter to develop or sharpen their skills.

You can search, but you'll never find a better trainer for your child. Stop wasting time and get going. You'll never regret it.

We are so appreciative of you and all your hard work and positive energy. You are helping Nick transition to a guard and playmaker! We are looking forward to continued elevation of his game to make it to the next level. Nick is starting as a 7th grader on his middle school team. That would not have happened without your guidance and Nick's hardworking attitutde!!
