Academy Testimonials

"The Hoops Dreams organization provides an outstanding AAU program. Mike Scott has an outstanding basketball mind which allows him to continually challenge athletes to meet their fullest athletic potential.      
Mike's commitment to Hoop Dreams does not end on the court.  Mike has a vested interest in all of the athletes who participate in his organization and is willing to go the extra mile to facilitate a first class AAU program.  I have experienced this first hand with my own son's experience in the program."

 "In the workouts, Mike taught us a lot of different ball handling drills that challenge you to try new things you may have never done before.  I also had a lot of fun in the workouts with Mike because he teaches us creative moves that improve your ball handling skills and are also fun to do at the same time. The moves [Mike teaches] will also improve your self-confidence, and your overall game will benefit because of the confidence the moves provide.   Mike breaks down your shot to the basic fundamentals, and helps you focus on the small but important aspects of your shot that are sometimes overlooked.  Mike has helped me improve a lot as a basketball player, and I only wish I was able to work out with him when I was younger.  I have learned a lot through the workouts, and I believe that anyone from an elementary school player to an NBA player could benefit from the workouts."
