JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON HOOP CITY ELITE, THIS PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2007 AND WAS DEVELOPED SO IT COULD PROVIDE AND GIVE KIDS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONVERT WHAT NEGATIVE ENERGY THAEY HAVE AND RESTORE IT INTO POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT THRU SPORTS. OUR MISSION IS TO ENRICH THE YOUTH WITH SKILLS, DISCIPLINE AND RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING A WELL-ROUNDED INDIVIDUAL NOT ONLY ON THE COURT BUT ALSO IN LIFE.

WITH THIS BEING OUR 3RD SEASON, HOOP CITY ELITE HAS A PROGRAM THAT IS DESIGNED TO ASSISTS YOUNG ADULTS WITH THE ABILITY TO FURTHER THEIR DREAMS IN SPORTS. IN SPORTS A TEAM IS MADE UP OF INDIVIDUALS PLAYING AS ONE UNIT TO ACCOMPLISH THE JOB OF WINNING AND TEAMWORK. GUIDANCE IS THE KEY IN HELPING OUR YOUTH BECOME BETTER ROLE MODELS FOR THE FUTURE.
EVEN WITH THE LOVE THAT YOUNG ADULTS HAVE FOR PLAYING BASKETBALL, THEY UNDERSTAND THAT LIFE IS DIFFICULT WITHOUT AN EDUCATION. THIS IS EMPHASIZED AND IS THE TOP PRIORITY BEFORE BASKETBALL ON THIS TEAM. WITHOUT AN EDUCATION, BASKETBALL IS SECONDARY TO THEIR FUTURE. THERE ARE MANY PIONEERS WHO HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND SACRIFICIED A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT FOR US AS INDIVIDUALS, WHICH IS ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT HELPS THESE YOUNG ADULTS APPRECIATE THE PAST PIONEERS.
