The HoopSphere Mini Ballers Program for ages 4-5 is a 30-minute introductory class designed to give younger players a fun and engaging start in basketball. For children ready for more, we also offer 1-hour skills classes for ages 5 and up. If your 4-year-old shows signs of readiness, we can evaluate them for placement in the general skills class.

Yes. Our program is curriculum based. At HoopSphere, we want our students to learn the entire spectrum of skills so they can develop into complete basketball players. We have a comprehensive curriculum that we utilize to ensure every student continuously learns and expands their skill set. We cover all skills such as shooting, ball handling, footwork passing, moving off ball, defense, physical conditioning, and the mental components of becoming a basketball player such as toughness, grit and communication skills.

The progress of each student is tracked by their skills coach. The skills coaches design workouts based on our curriculum and also based on where our students need improvement. We frequently hold round-table meetings to discuss each of our students and their trajectories. We may at times ask that a student moves to a more advanced class/program depending on their progress. Our coaching staff is not only discerning in helping our students improve their abilities, but take an active role in inspiring them to love the game.

In order to achieve the ideal environment for our young athletes, our classes are grouped by both age and skill-set.

Every Skills Training Class will focus on foundational fundamentals that help every student raise their skills and confidence.The class will encompass 2-3 primary skills for the day (ie. passing,shooting, ball handling). In addition there will be some time reserved at the end of each class devoted to live competition or scrimmage. HoopSphere uses a comprehensive and detailed curriculum which ensures that players will work on and develop all facets of basketball fundamentals.

We are greatly pleased to offer a wide range of programs to be able to suit your child’s basketball development needs through their athletic journey! We offer year open round registration to all other programs year round!

Official League featuring referees, uniforms, scores, and standings to create a real game-day experience. Held weekly on weekends, offering consistent practice and competition. Players are placed into groups based on their current playing ability, with both Developmental and Competitive Divisions available. Each week, teams will either participate in a practice session or play an official game, depending on the league schedule. The season concludes with playoffs, finals, and team and individual awards to celebrate achievements!

Skills classes are focused on skill development which encompasses footwork, ball handling, shooting ability and more. The emphasis is on building a solid foundation of fundamentals. This type of development is crucial to young players as it improves confidence, technique and mentality. A more skilled player is a more confident player. The league is dedicated to learning about team play and playing in games. This will involve strategy, team camaraderie, and competition. We have observed that playing in the league usually motivates students to work harder in their skills classes. A combination of skills classes and the league are what we recommend for most students as it offers exposure and experience to both developing their individual and team skills.

Since our league has many divisions to cover all age groups and all skill levels within each age group, we almost always recommend the league. However, if a young student has not gained the strength to pass, catch, and make a shot on a 10 foot basket, we suggest joining the skills program until his/her strength improves.

No. The teams that are constructed at the beginning of the league season will remain throughout and will be final. No exceptions can be made whatsoever.

No, every student that participates in HoopSphere must be enrolled in a minimum of one skills training class. Skills training classes are essential for developing a solid foundation and to continually improve your overall skill-set, which will contribute to more success in games over time.

Uniforms will be provided on site at our facility. Pease ask HoopSphere staff for this at your next skills or league session If uniform size is out of stock, please note that it may take 1-3 weeks for us to receive your order. In the meantime we will do our best to provide you with a spare jersey for that day, which should be returned after the league practice or game is completed.

Yes, you can add classes or league in the middle of the month. This will go in effective immediately and tuition for the month will be prorated based on the start of the next class or league upon adding classes/league. For example, if you added a Wednesday class on Monday, you are expected to start the new class on Wednesday and tuition will be prorated based on that. You can add skills classes or League Here at any time.

Every Child’s Safety is our Number 1 Priority. Please prioritize not only the safety of yourself and your child but the safety of others while picking up and/or dropping off your child at HoopSphere. Please read the below Drop Off and Pick Up Guidelines carefully Drop Off Guidelines Please park your car and escort your child into the facility. If you are not staying during the class, you should not leave after dropping off your child until you can fully see that the child has joined the class and is under the complete supervision of his/her coach. Pick Up Guidelines Students are required to be inside of the facility prior to being picked up. Students should not leave the facility unless their parent/guardian comes inside the facility and picks them up. Driving Instructions Please exercise the highest caution and care while driving within parking lots. Please keep in mind that parents and students will frequently be crossing the street or walking within these areas. Drive extremely slowly and carefully. Please obey any coaches/school staff/crossing guards and defer to their authority. They are trying to keep everyone safe and it is mandatory that we treat them with respect and follow all of their rules at all times.

We expect students to consistently practice what they learn in class on their own time. In class time will be mainly for learning new skills/techniques and refining existing skills/techniques. Even after “acquiring” a basketball skill, i.e., shooting, dribbling, passing, it takes hours of practice to maintain, sharpen and even better that skill. Most skills take years of ongoing practice to master. We provide the fundamentals, techniques, and corrections in class practice; however, a player cannot truly succeed at high levels without practicing these skills on their own outside of class regularly.

Parental Code of Conduct for League Games: In order to foster a safe and positive playing environment for our students, we require parents/spectators to follow our guidelines. Parents and spectators are required to sit or stand in assigned seating area. Please do not sit or stand near the team bench or on the team bench. This area is reserved for players only. Please DO NOT provide your child with coaching/tips either from the sideline or during the game/practice session. This time is reserved for your child to interact and learn from their coach only. This can be distracting, disruptive and can often interfere with coach’s efforts and expectations. Understand that the purpose of our League is NOT about winning vs. losing. Be positive no matter the outcome. These games serve as tremendous learning opportunities to build student character through teamwork, communication, and effort. Let us not lose sight of this. Encourage and support all players who are playing, not just your child. It makes for a great atmosphere and every kid feels supported. Please do not to raise your voice. If you do, it should only be words of encouragement. Spectators/Parents please do not communicate with the referees in anyway whatsoever. Please do not ask questions to coaches on game day unless it is urgent. We want to spend our practice or game time developing our players. If you have questions related to scheduling, training, improvement, please call or send us an email and we will be happy to answer your questions. 24-hour rule: Please Do Not approach coaches or any HoopSphere staff members during game day. If you have a concern, please send us an email 24 hours after the game is complete. The 24-Hour Rule is a good way for parents to take a breath and decide whether their concern really is a matter of fairness or an intense emotional reaction forged in the heat of competition. Enjoy the game! Nothing is more important than our young players having fun out there on the court. Parental Code of Conduct for Skills Classes or League Practices: Parents are welcome to attend and observe the skills training classes/league. However, we ask that parents do not get involved in coaching, and are casually observing rather than critiquing their child or their Coach. We wish to create an open and judgment-free learning environment for students. Please do not provide your child with coaching/tips from the sideline during the class. This time is reserved for your child to interact and learn from their coach only. Additional commentary can be distracting and disruptive, and it can often interfere with coach’s efforts and expectations of the student. Please promptly pick up your child at the end of each session. It is helpful to have the students off the court at the end of the class so it does not delay the following class. Coaches are very busy during skills training classes. We want to spend our class time developing our students. If you have any questions related to scheduling, training, improvement, etc., please send us an email or give us a call and we will be happy to answer your questions.

Yes we do offer a free trial class. How does it work? 1) Register online for the class (es) you are interested in. 2) If the student did not feel that the program is for them, send us an email to training@hoopsphere.com within 24 hours of the first class. 3) We will then provide a 100% refund of any fees paid and process your cancellation. Note: If an email is not sent within 24 hours of the student's first class, the free trial will not apply and student must abide by cancellation policy and submit the cancelation before or on the 15th of the current month for cancellations to go into effect for following month.
