Our Commitment

Hoop Dreams is a 9-month commitment, extending from October to July.  However, there are peak and non-peak periods.  Also, while the entire season is long, the improvement from the committed player is great.  

Semi-In Season:  Although fall is not typically considered an “In Season” time, we intend to hold practices twice per week to maximize everyone’s development.  We will also establish new offenses, presses, plays and defenses in these practices.

In Season:  The peak basketball season at Hoop Dreams is in the winter and spring.  During this period we expect players to attend up to (2) practices, (1) film session, (1) skill session and all league and tournament games.  Practices are approximately two hours.  Film and skill sessions will be held on separate nights and are one hour.

Out-of-Season:  Summer is typically the least active period of the season.  There will be no mandatory film sessions held at this time.  We highly suggest players to participate in Hoop Dreams skill development sessions.  Summer also includes AAU National Tournaments.  We certainly hope to compete in some of the elite tournaments.  If so, preparation for such elite or national tournaments can resemble the peak season.
