“A fantastic program and great coaches! My son actually looks forward to the practices because he's getting better and having fun at the same time. Lots of focus on development (vs winning) and kids get lots of ball time in practice and games. My son and his buddy's ball handling and confidence has greatly improved.”

“Coach Coop is a proven coach and ex professional player. Coaching and Mentoring is his gift. Greatest attribute is his experience and how he relates basketball and life not only for the young player to be better in basketball, but also for the young player to be a better human being in life.”

"My daughter has worked with a few basketball programs. Coach Cooper and staff are the best by far. They work on fundamentals, physical & mental conditioning, and make it fun. I highly recommend them.”
