Hoop City U Development Program
Hoop City U
Development program
The Program is designed for athletes who have a strong desire to raise their game and reach their maximum potential.
The Hoop City Development Program, ‘Hoop City U’ has been created by Australian and NBL Coaches to develop tomorrow’s elite basketball players and provide pathways and access to, the NBL and other elite programs and teams both in Australian and abroad.
The program is designed in tiers:
- Little Hoopers - Ages 4-7
- FUNdamentals - Introductory (Ages 7-11)
- Elevate - Junior Development (Ages 11-13)
- Excel - Elite Talent (Ages 13-17)
- Pro Ready - Aspiring professional athletes (Ages 17-24)
Hoop City U is a holistic development program that strives to develop all-round athletes and individuals by incorporating:
- Offensive and Defensive Skill Development
- Basketball IQ Development
- Strength and Conditioning (on-site)
- Well-being (Gold only)
Combine testing is held three times per annum for Hoop City U Excel. This physical and on court basketball testing is aligned with the NBL Next Gen and NBA Combines.
Our NBL partnership allows us to facilitate the transfer of data gathered from our testing to the League and Clubs ensuring maximum exposure for our athletes.
The program achieved a significant milestone in early 2023 when Campbell Blogg became the first athlete through the program to sign a professional contract. This was with Melbourne United of the NBL, as a Development Player.
