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.

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!!
