About Us
Proud parents of a young hooper with aspirations of NBA stardom. We would be thrilled if he just learns the values of dedication and teamwork...and a college scholarship would be nice too!


Every run is an opportunity to grow on and off the court.
Our origin story begins with a dream: our son, B.A.M., aspires to play in the NBA — and sign the league’s first $1 billion contract coming out of college! As his parents, our goal is to support that passion while teaching him the values that basketball instills: hard work, teamwork, and perseverance.
I grew up hoopin' too; I had skills but lacked the dedication and in-game experience. As a kid, we played 1s and 2s, ran 21 and 33, and spent hours trying And1 moves on the blacktop (sometimes with no net or double rims). The one thing that was always missing was consistent access to indoor full-court, five-on-five games.
There’s no substitute for running 5s. Real scrimmages teach spacing, flow, decision-making, press breaking, rebounding, defensive switches, pick-and-rolls, dribble handoffs, and court awareness in a way that drills could NEVER! Shooting and dribbling drills build confidence, but without active hands and live defense, ball pressure, and real-time resistance, players cannot become true HOOPERS.
Combining our in-game style competition with clinics, rec leagues, and AAU, we provide what young players need the most: two full hours of supervised, five-on-five scrimmages - just like pickup runs at the local rec center back in the day.
