WELCOME TO THE BLESSED HOOPS FAMILY

About the USA camp

Founded in 2017 in the Bronx, New York City, our camp has experienced remarkable growth. We started with just 9 players in our first session, expanding to 18 before taking a 3-year hiatus due to COVID-19. In 2023, we relaunched our NYC camp with 24 players, and in 2024, we approached a remarkable milestone of nearly 50 players.

Our participants have had the valuable opportunity to travel throughout the city, competing against various high schools and summer programs while training under some of New York’s finest high school coaches.

As of today, Blessed Hoops is excited to announce a change in location as we look forward to exploring the West Coast. Our journey will take us from California to Utah, culminating at the Las Vegas Classic.

“Our 2 boys, aged 7 and 9 went to the Blessed Hoops Summer Basketball Camp in 2023.”

Parent

“The level of personal attention and care provided by the coaches was exceptional. They didn’t just teach basketball skills; they empowered our boys both on and off the court. The camp’s unique approach to integrating mental skills training with physical training is quite special. Our sons came back not only with improved basketball skills but also with a heightened sense of confidence and motivation that they apply in their everyday lives.

What stood out to us was the dedication to keeping the kids motivated and focused throughout the week. This kind of guidance is rare and invaluable.

Our boys are already looking forward to returning and as parents, we couldn’t be happier to see them so enthusiastic about a sport and a program that brings out the best in them.

To anyone considering Blessed Hoops for their children: it’s an investment not just in their sports journey, but in their journey to becoming better, more confident individuals. We highly recommend it!”
