Make your Hoop Dreamz come true

I’ve been meaning to send you a note to let you know how happy I am that Billy decided to have a 16U team this season.  I know he was undecided about doing it but it has turned out to be such a great season.  Coach Chris has been remarkable.  His enthusiasm, dedication and commitment to the team is visible at every game and practice.  He has been able to motivate them and bring them together like no other coach, (with the exception of Billy, of course!) has been able to do.  You are really lucky to have him as part of your team! I hope that Thomas enjoys his high school season as much as he is enjoying the fall, and I certainly hope Hoop Dreamz will have a high school team in the Spring. I know Thomas will want to continue playing in the Spring. Thanks for everything.

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 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.

Hi Atom, I personally want to thank you for coaching and how good you were for the boys.  John has had many coaches during the past 5 years and no one has ever exhibited the patience and encouragement that you showed these boys at every game. I hope that your paths will cross again someday. He will be trying out for the Freshman basketball team at Don Bosco, after Thanksgiving. I wish all the best in your future with basketball.

I wanted to let you know that I have nothing but praise for you and your organization. Thanks for all you do and I look forward to seeing my son play for your organization for many years to come.

I am writing to express our sincere thanks for what turned out to be the best basketball experience for Brandon and Zachary in several years.While I don’t know much about how the game of basketball is played, I marveled at the fact that the boys learned and executed plays and formations. What we enjoyed the most is the level of competition and the dedication of the coaches, Coach Mike Byrne and Coach Chris Ward. These coaches were great!!! Please extend to them our thanks for teaching our boys how to work hard, play as a team, mature as ball players and, most of all, have fun. The camaraderie that both teams exhibited was a pleasure to watch. Lots of smiles, laughter; no long faces, anger, etc. We were proud to be a part of the Hoop Dreamz family this season and look forward to an opportunity in the near future for Brandon and Zachary to accept a new challenge with the Hoop Dreamz Program.

Lauren and Billy, Thank you very much for the BC t-shirt you gave Mark yesterday. But more importantly, this note was written to both you to say, " thank you". A sincere thank you for reinforcing the values we try so hard to teach our children. You both contribute so much to this program. And it is because of your hard work, dedication and, by the examples you both set, that makes your program so special. The boys just think they are learning basketball skills but, we parents know they are learning so much more. Because of you both, our children are learning skills that will make them better adults. Thank you both for all you do. Please know that every time Mark wears this shirt (and he will a lot), he will remember why he earned it: not because he made a winning basket at your camp but, because he was rewarded for doing the right thing. A true winner does the right thing each and every day and your shirt will be a reminder of that lesson. Thank you again.

We had a great summer, thank you. I hate to see it come to an end. I can't express how much we appreciate you coaching them. They have learned so much and think the world of you as a player and a person. You have taught them much more than basketball.

Tom & Christine – Allendale

Billy, Our boys are extremely fortunate to not only be a part of the Hoop Dreamz program but to have you as their coach. I've known you for a very long time and have seen you grow not only as a BB player and later as a coach but as a great kid who developed into a terrific person. They have been taught by you to stand tall and not whine or complain when things are not going their way. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished with this team and we couldn't be more pleased with the coaching and direction Owen and all the boys are receiving this season.

Mike – Harrington Park

I want to thank Billy and Frank for a great season and a great time! Justin has learned so much from the 2 of you it is amazing! I think the 2 of you are unbelievable coaches and role models for all the kids. We will always recommend and keep coming back to your program!
