Teams
There's a place on a LOCALHOOPS team for all players - all abilities, all ages, and all genders.
Game-Play Mindset
At LOCALHOOPS we pride ourselves on being seriously competitive - we go into every game expecting to win and both players and coaches leave it all on the court to make sure that we do. But we do so within the bounds of two foundational philosophies:
First, we believe that the primary purpose of competition is to make our athletes better. Game play is the pinnacle component of player development, a place for athletes to hot-forge the skills they've learned from training in the heat of competition.
Second, we believe there is an appropriate level of competition for every level of athlete. Our elite AAU athletes learn and grow under the bright lights, while our younger or less experienced athletes do so in settings more appropriate to their growth stage.
Roster Spots for Everyone
We have our AAU travelling teams for our top athletes, our Lions League for our up-and-comers, and our development league for those just starting out. We work closely with every athlete to place them on the right team in the right league.
