Hoop Guru Club Info

Practices are very important and allow us the time to develop a team concept and get a structure and system of play established for tournaments. We will typically practice 2 times a week for approximately 80 minutes, depending on what tournament we will be in that weekend.  It is imperative that your child make every effort to attend practice and we understand that conflicts do come up. What you are paying for is the practice time, not playing time, that will help improve your child’s skills. We try not to punish players for missed practice but do know that it is up to each coach to put the best players out on the court during the games. If your child doesn’t know the plays or concepts that we teach during practice, their playing time could be limited. No player is guaranteed a certain amount of playing time. During each practice session, we dedicate time to work on skill development. We feel that this dedicated time is a chance for each player to hone their skills that will help them out on the court. We want to develop the all-around player, so everyone on the team regardless of position goes through the same skill development. We don’t want post players just to be a post player, we want them to feel comfortable and have skills that will create a dynamic player wherever they are out on the court. The same can be said from a guard perspective, we want the guards to learn some post moves and be able to feel comfortable going against someone of their size on the block.
