Leagues
Hoop Guru offers multiple leagues throughout the season. We have leagues in the summer, fall and winter that allow players an opportunity to get out on the court and work on their skills in a low pressure situation. That is what the off-season is for, to get out there and work on different aspects of your game. The best players find their weaknesses and work to improve them in a game-like atmosphere and at Hoop Guru, we can offer you that.
Our 5 on 5 leagues are unique in the sense that everyone signs up as individuals and we have a player evaluation day to create as competitive teams as possible. We don’t allow “established teams” to play in the league because they usually have played together for multiple seasons and create a competitive imbalance in the league. We offer equal playing time as well so when you come to play, you will get out on the court. Our league is non-instructional, but we do provide coaches who help substitute players and offer some advice during the game. We have 2 officials and one scorekeeper for each game.
In August, we run the areas biggest 3 on 3 league. This is one that you need to have a team formed already. That pace of play is fast and it forces players to be engaged on every possession. There are no plays off. We don’t allow coaching in this league because we feel that our young players are getting too much coaching and just need to get out and play sometimes to learn what to do out on the court. Teams play 3 games a week and the last week is a double elimination tournament. This league has grown to over 74 teams and this year we expect 85+teams to play.
We are always looking to run some adult leagues as well. One thing that we can gaurantee is that our leagues will be the cheapest on the market. Looking to help start a league, give us a call so we can discuss what we can offer compared to other leagues.
