Powered by GoogleMy son wanted to try basketball class this fall. This was his first time trying basketball as a sport. It has been so fun to watch my son get excited before each class. He has loved learning under Coach Eric. As a parent I’m grateful for the convenience of Little Hoopsters Academy and the sports program it provides through my son’s preschool. It’s given my child an opportunity to experience a new sport and learn a new skill!
My son participated in this program while in his VPK program. I owe Eric all the credit to sparking my son's interest, excitement, and investment into basketball. It was an amazing way introduce my son to sports. So much so, that we have enrolled him in the SEB league!!
Coach Eric was made to do this! He is an incredibly gifted athlete, truly knows the game of basketball and is so patient and encouraging with the kiddos! My son loved playing with Little Hoopsters. Such a positive experience! His little brother now wants to play.
We and our son, Rafael, loved little Hoopsters! We always wondered how well our son was progressing, but after enrolling him on the weekend program, we were impressed how good he was doing and glad we made the investment. Coach Eric and his family are great and out of of their way to help and encourage the kids. Highly recommend.
My 7 year old son has been apart of the Little Hoopsters Academy for about 4 weeks now and he loves it! I can’t say enough about Coach Eric and his wife Natalie. They do an amazing job with the kids! They’ve created a positive and motivating environment for the kids to feel confident while they learn the fundamentals of basketball. No matter what skill level or age, this is a great program for young kids to develop a love for the game.
