HoopKidz/HoopElite Family-
The '09 calendar has just been a whirlwind so far of Basketball, learning, and fun! We've finished up our HoopKidz Instructional sessions in Owings Mills(Baltimore) and Silver Spring for the school year with a great group of kids. And we've just completed our last week of a great Spring League in Bowie. Thanks to all of our new HoopKidz and long-standing families for your involvement in helping us continue to grow our Instructional programs... We held our first HoopElite Senior Open Showcase on 4/22 for some of the area's Best High School Seniors still uncommitted to Colleges for Basketball. 30 Top HS area Boys worked out and performed in front of College, Junior College, and Prep School Coaches (list in news below). Thanks to all who supported our effort to connect these young men with opportunites to continue their Educational careers with Basketball scholarships. Special Thanks to Staff, Bob Batten (BSU), Dale Lambreth(Thomas Stone), and Mark Edwards(DeMatha) for their contribution to the Showcase... Haven't registered for our Summer Basketball Camps yet?
