About Shoot Hoops
Shoot Hoops is a locally owned and operated basketball club focused on helping young players reach their potential.
Why Shoot Hoops
When I was young, we went to the outdoor courts, we walked into the unlocked school gyms, & we played pickup at the beach. This is not the same experience that most kids have today. They scramble for AAU teams, cram clinics with 100’s of kids, & play more sports on video games than real life. We are on a mission to change the current day basketball experience!
Our motto is “Shoot – Train – Play” and our gym is designed to give players more of just that … more shooting reps … more coaching … and most importantly, more time to ‘Just Play’. When you sign up to be a member, you get to choose how much basketball you want to play. Since our gym is basketball only, we only attract the competitors (and new friends) interested in playing and getting better at basketball. Drop into a training or come into an open gym to meet our coaches and find out why you’ll wish you found us sooner.
