Make your Hoop Dreamz come true

Billy, I wanted to thank you for all you did with the Girlz 7 team this spring. Watching them grow to trust and care about each other both on and off the court was awesome. From where I was sitting, it looked each girl grew as an individual player and a teammate. Personally, I want to thank you for igniting a spark in my daughter. She really welcomed the challenge of learning to play better man-to-man defense, and started to 'see' the game better on the offensive end. I know I have never seen her more confident on or off the court. 'How' you coach them really is special to watch. Thank you for doing what you do.

Coach Connelly, We can't begin to thank you for all that you did for Liam this past season. He learned a tremendous amount from you and truly respected your overall approach with the team. You taught them how to play the game the right way, held them accountable for their assignments, challenged them to be the best they could be and more importantly, did so in a manner that fueled their passion for the games, scrimmages or practices. Liam always walked off the court with a smile on his face which is a great testament to your ability to reach kids at all levels whether it be 7th graders or kids in High School! We remain committed to the program and will have him attend Billy's weekly group work out lessons so he can carry the momentum forward into next season.

I just wanted both you and Billy to know that Zoe LOVES playing on Hoop Dreamz. Both my husband and I are also very impressed with the coaching that Jasmine offers & the entire team as a whole is really elite! Zoe has really connected with the team both on and off the court. Jasmine’s coaching is exactly what we were searching for, Zoe says she never puts the girls down whenever an error is done, and always make each of them feel like a team. She plays everyone fairly and is really making a difference. The entire group of parents seem very involved and have really welcomed both Zoe and us. We are really happy with our decision to have moved Zoe into your league and look forward to having her try out for the next season. I highly recommend Hoop Dreamz to all our friends/family.

Frank, Billy and Lauren - Just wanted to drop you a short note to say thank you again for the spring season. For me, the success of the program is measured by Jack's desire to go to practice - and he always wanted to go. After every practice he told me that he learned something and had fun. Have a great summer.

Just wanted to send a note to say how happy we were with the fall AAU season. This was Samantha's first year with Hoop Dreamz and she played with the 6th grade girls. Not only did she have an amazing time, her basketball skills have improved tremendously. We were very impressed with Coach Jasmine and Samantha is looking forward to the spring season!

You have always steered me in the right direction and have always wanted the best for me. Playing basketball for you was a great experience, you were by far the best coach I've ever had. You're a great role model and I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate everything you've done for me. If I don't see you, have a safe and healthy summer.

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.

I know being able to train with you and to become the basketball player that I did was such an incredible opportunity, for me not just as a basketball player, but as a person in general. I always feel so lucky that I got to have those one-on-one lessons; through them and all the AAU and Hoop Dreamz leagues, I think I really learned how to be completely dedicated to something, and to never, ever give up. Again, it was such an amazing experience being able to play with you and learn from you - inspiring me much within and beyond basketball. For all that, I can only say thank you so much!

Ryan – Montvale

Thanks for all the time you have taken to work with Thomas and his team. Thomas has always loved the game (even decided to drop soccer next year for it) and as we previously noted, his passion to play has grown even more since being part of your program. Thanks again.

Coach Armstrong, Alex thoroughly enjoyed the 8 week basketball clinic, and has stated on numerous occasions that he believes his skills have improved due to your instruction and your assistants' instruction. He learned proper execution of fundamentals that included drills covering dribbling, foul shooting and defense. In fact, at one of the clinics, he heard you say: "DON'T BE A KNOW IT ALL, BE A LEARN IT ALL". I can tell you that will stick with him for life. Thank you for truly leaving a positive impression and helping him improve his game.
