WELCOME TO
BTG BASKETBALL
Transformative Basketball Academy in Westside Los Angeles
Holistic Development: BTG develops well-rounded athletes through a unique combination of basketball skills training, strength and conditioning, film study, and mindset/leadership development.
Positive and Inclusive Culture: We cultivate a supportive environment where every athlete feels valued, respected, and empowered to grow as both a player and a person.
Dedicated Coaching: Our coaches are passionate about helping young athletes reach their full potential, prioritizing personal growth and well-being alongside well-rounded basketball skills.
Age & Skill-Appropriate Training: BTG Basketball’s Group Training Program is tailored to each athlete’s stage of development, offering sessions designed to elevate skills at every level.
Game-Focused, Leadership Development: Using the Constraints-Led Approach (CLA), athletes sharpen decision-making and leadership skills in real-game scenarios.
Empowering Small Group Environment: Our small groups foster connection and confidence, ensuring athletes grow individually and as part of a supportive community.
Fun & Fundamental for Grades 3-8: BTG's Seasonal Camps for younger athletes combine skill-building drills with traditional basketball fundamentals and exciting gameplay.
Focused Development for High School Athletes: High school camps use the BTG methodology to sharpen skills, leadership, and mindset through intense, game-like scenarios.
Empowering Growth & Leadership: All camps embody the BTG way, empowering athletes to grow, lead, and transform their game on and off the court.
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!!
