At Hoops School, our Mission is to: REACH, TEACH, COACH and CHANGE LIVES of boys and girls, ages 6 to 15 years old. We inspire kids to ‘become the best they are capable of becoming’ to the glory of God on and off the court. Kids have fun while learning sound principles of the great game we call BASKETBALL. Coach Heidi coaches with vigor and knowledge from her 30+ years as a coach and player.
