The Hoop Dreamz program is a grand success! Billy goes beyond teaching a game. He guides the kids to become great leaders. He instills respect, strong work ethics and gratitude. He holds them accountable and truly cares! The Hoop Dreamz team/staff makes a difference! For this I am eternally grateful!

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.

I came home to find my son had cleaned his room without being told! I asked him what happened and he said that Billy had said some things that made sense about taking responsibility. I had been saying things all along and it had no affect. He said those talks help. Keep up the good work!

I want to thank Billy, Lauren 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.

Great job with the boys on Saturday. That was a rough game to coach and play in and you all were so collected and focused. Great to see our boys handle the pressure so well. You’re teaching them many more important life lessons beyond basketball! You run an amazing program and we can’t wait to play for you again!

Brandon has made great improvements because of your program which my husband and I can’t say enough about. We love the coach’s philosophy and the way he handles the players. He is so amazing! Thank you so much for offering such a fantastic program. We are so lucky to live in this area and benefit from you guys. All our family’s love to you and what you guys give to the community. Our boy is a better player and better person due to your program.

Billy and crew:
I just wanted to give you some positive feedback on the benefits of your program. I can honestly say that all of the lessons have really paid off. Michael had a breakout game and scored 16 points. He passed well and dribbled with authority and had a few steals. He had a lot of self-confidence on the court. Having had the opportunity to watch a number of your practices I could really see that all of the skills you guys have drilled into him take hold. Keep up the great work.

Coach Jasmine,
I just wanted to say thank you for a great season. I truly believe Kate has become a better basketball player with you as her coach and since joining the Hoop Dreamz program. Thank you all again for another great season and hopefully we will see you in the Spring.

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.

Just wanted to drop a note to say thank you for a great week of basketball camp. The boys enjoyed the program and had fun. I was very impressed on organization and professionalism of the entire staff. Most important, Billy’s coaching on core values, leadership and passion for the game. Thanks.

Lauren and Billy,
I want to thank you and the Hoop Dreamz organization for another great season. Over the last 3 seasons Jesse has been lucky enough to have been coached by 3 great coaches. His growth, confidence and love of the game continues to grow, in large part to the training and coaching he gets working with you guys. Thank you and see you in the fall.

Lauren, Coach Billy and Coach Mike,
Thank you very much to all of you for making this a great season for the fifth grade boys It was a dynamic and talented group of boys, and Mark was blessed to be a part of this team. We are also grateful to the Hoop Dreamz program for offering the boys the opportunity to improve their basketball skills. But more importantly, your program affords our boys the opportunity to witness real-life examples (coaches and staff) that model the virtues of respect, responsibility and, commitment that young boys need to develop and master. Thank you again and again.
