David Hope, former collegiate player, as well as, experienced and certified coach, instructor and clinician will be offering co-ed small-group training opportunities for boys and girls (Grades 5, 6, 7 & 8).

Each player will be evaluated at the beginning of the session and progress will be monitored. Valuable and comprehensive feedback will be provided throughout each session.
Moreover, this program will be devoted to the individual hoopster’s level of skills and play.
David will provide training for Grades 5, 6, 7 & 8 (girls and boys) with a group of no more than 8 players per session. These sessions are designed to instill the necessary fundamental skills and concepts essential for success.
