WHO ARE WE

Study Hall Hoops is designed with the concept of continuous improvement in mind, where the stated and reinforced mission statement is:

“It’s not about being better than someone else… It’s about being better TODAY than you were YESTERDAY.”

Our objective is to help young athletes develop fundamental skills, build confidence, and foster a love for the game of basketball. Whether your child is a beginner (looking to learn the fundamentals) or an experienced player (looking to refine existing skills), our program is designed to meet them where they are and help them get better today than they were yesterday.

OUR PROGRAM

Study Hall Hoops is a uniquely structured youth basketball program, designed specifically to complement existing obligations of other team activities while prioritizing individual development.

FRIDAYS

League Challenge Workouts - Team oriented practice sessions focused on offensive set(s), defensive set(s), press break(s), inbound play(s), transitioning between offense/defense, etc.

Open Runs - Semi-structured volume gameplay sessions, where players compete against each other in a supervised environment.  These sessions are intended to provide low-pressure scenarios; which encourages players to explore their limits by experimenting outside their comfort zone. Gameplay is stopped periodically for instructional purposes.  Teams are formed to optimize overall competitiveness meaning players are grouped by ability, age, and grade level (in this order).

SATURDAYS

Skills Clinics - Individual skills development sessions. Typically, these sessions involve detail-oriented drills designed to improve a specific skill such as ball handling, shooting, passing, rebounding, on-ball defense, etc.

Skills Combines - Iterative individualized skills competition; which includes 3-point shooting, free throw shooting, timed sprinting, vertical jumping, and ball handling. Each time a player completes the circuit of events their results are captured, trended, and analyzed to track individual progress. This data is used to build a player profile; which then helps determine relative strengths and weaknesses as well as targeted focus areas for individual improvement.

Small Group Sparring - Dynamic environment where players engage in 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 competitions. This small group format allow players to explore abstract concepts (i.e. spacing, offensive/defensive strategy, etc) in simplified scenarios. These sessions emphasize individualized feedback and allow athletes to apply their training in dynamic, real-time scenarios that translate directly to gameplay. Teams are formed to optimize overall competitiveness meaning players are grouped by ability, age, and grade level (in this order).
