"First master the fundamentals" - Larry Bird
HoopKidz/HoopElite Family-
It's Halloween Week, so that can only mean that the 'official' Hoops season is upon us! I add 'official' because Basketball season has now morphed into a year-round schedule for all ages and levels of competition. While we love Basketball and teach Basketball skills year-round, we also feel that our kids should participate in a full range of sports and other activities. That said, it's time for Basketball season preparation!... Thanks to all of our Kids and their parents for their efforts in our just completed 1st Fall session in Bowie. The Instructional League wraps up this weekend and we've got a great group preparing for their upcoming seasons. Up next, our Wednesday Fall Instructional session in begin November 5th and our 1st Fall Owings Mills/Baltimore session at New Town High School begins on Saturday, November 8th! If your kids have been involved in Football and Fall Soccer, these sessions are a great opportunity to reclaim their 'Basketball legs' and skills. Spaces are still available for both. Register today at www.hoopkidz.com before it's too late. HoopKidz Family and past participant discounts are still available at the website... Looking forward to seeing all of our Owings Mills, Baltimore County, & Baltimore families again beginning Saturday, November 8th!... Special Thanks to all of the participants involved in the Post Play/Guard Skills sesssions last week... This year's Holiday HoopKidz Giveaway Promotion begins early this year (November 1st) and will feature our largest Prize pool to date. $100 Nike Gift certificates, Nike 4005 Leather Basketballs, Nike Sparq training gear, Air Jordan and LeBron basketball shoes, UMD, Navy, Georgetown, & GWU Basketball game tickets, HoopKidz Hooded Sweatshirts, Sweatpants, and more!
