SUCCESSFUL STORIES
I wanted my son to get the edge he needed to become a college basketball player. Coach Myson helped [David] by not only training him on the skill he needed to secure a scholarship, but he went as far as playing against him to make sure he was ready to perform in front of college coaches. I would recommend Hoops Univeristy to anyone who wants their son or daughter to develop or sharpen their skills.
