Play The Game. With Purpose.

 

If you are a serious-minded player who wants to improve individually and compete at the highest level, then Hoops 101 Select is for you. Our philosophy is to improve players’ individual skills while showing them how they can use those improvements within the framework of team basketball to create more opportunities for themselves and for those around them.

[quote align=”right” color=”#0404B4″]You will learn HOW to play—not just how to run plays.[/quote]

We want to teach the game the right way. We do not subscribe to the “roll out the ball and let ’em play” mentality taking over AAU and select basketball. We believe in the power of team and the role of each player within that team. You will learn HOW to play—not just how to run plays.

If you are looking for a team or are just wanting something more with regards to teaching and improvement of your game, confirm your interest, and we will invite you out to a practice to try out.

Hoops 101 Select Curriculum

Our offensive philosophy is based on the Read and React Offense taught by Rick Torbett and Better Basketball.  We use that as our base, and add some key individual concepts learned from some of the game’s best teachers at the Point Guard College to help our players learn HOW to PLAY.
