Make your Hoop Dreamz come true

I've attended several practices and find Frank to be extremely knowledgeable, patient, appropriately demanding and highly approachable. I think Jack is learning a ton about basketball and about the "attention to details" that will make him successful on and off the court.

Just wanted to write an email to Coach Atom Johnston. Just wanted to let him know I have been watching his coaching style and find it refreshing after all the coaches that Daniel has had in the past.  Daniel has been involved with Basketball since 1st grade and has NEVER had a coach who is more positive and motivating than his coach now.  His positive reinforcement during the game is great.  His teaching for "life" are more valuable than he knows.  It is great to see this, I wish all the other coaches Daniel had could take a lesson from him.  I would appreciate it if you could pass this email along to him.  Thank you, see you over the weekend.

Jasmine, Thanks for another great season. You are an amazing coach and Samantha loved playing for you. Her skills have improved tremendously playing in the fall and spring on your Hoop Dreamz teams this year. We appreciate you commitment to the team and your love of the game. Hope you have a great summer!

Daniel has loved working on his basketball game in both the camps and classes. He gets so much out of it both in basketball instruction and life lessons. He is aging out of the camps and classes now. But I wanted to let you and Billy know how wonderful and inspirational it has been for him.

I cannot tell you how MUCH Kassie is LOVING playing on this team. This is our very first AAU team experience and what a GREAT experience it has been for us! The girls are wonderful, the parents lovely, and the coaching fantastic. It has been well worth every penny and hour spent. Kassie has learned so much and is having so tons of fun doing it! She has made some great new friends, as have I as her mom. So thanks to you, AND COACH FRANK, for teaching Kassie such great basketball skills as well as lifelong lessons.

I wanted to send this email as an extra special THANK YOU to Hoop Dreamz as Gunther made the travel team (as an alternate) but MOST importantly, he made the River Dell Middle School basketball team!! He found out on Friday and that was a great birthday gift for him!  Please let Billy and Mike know as this has been Gunther’s goal since last year.  My husband and I would like to personally thank Billy and Mike for their commitment to the kids they train and the overall experience they provide. The Dream Academy was probably one of the best things we’ve ever spent our money on.  Gunther gained so much from this and not only improved his basketball skills but his overall attitude.  Hoop Dreamz can work these kids and teach them everything to play basketball but the kids have to want to learn and grow and we believe that Gunther was a prime example of a kid willing to improve, listen and learn and that is why it was so successful! This is not the last time you will hear from us and we will definitely be back!  Please make sure Billy & Mike know this and we thank you all for your support.

What a wonderful season I've had. I learned a lot physically and mentally. I am glad I joined Hoop Dreamz. It was both hard work and fun! Thank you.

I want to thank Billy, Lauren, Chris and the Hoop Dreamz team for a great season. In my opinion, the program is teaching exactly the right content, ranging from seeing the court and not being afraid of flesh-to-flesh contact to respect for coaches and parents and trust in your teammates. The boys made friends, got great coaching, improved their games and had fun. It is what youth sports is all about. The lessons I personally learned by attending every practice will be passed along to the Woodcliff Lake Travel Team this Winter. Thanks again.

I also wanted to thank the coaches for their commitment and hard work. I especially want to thank Coach Billy. I, admittedly, am limited in my knowledge about basketball, but I do know when someone is inspirational and provides strong, clear, appropriately demanding guidance.  Billy really pushes the boys to be the best that they can be and beyond basketball, has helped provide life lessons of right and wrong within the context of his coaching. Thanks again for a great season.
