Hi
With the NCAA finals over the past couple of nights, the season is now officially over at the college, high school, and lower levels.
It's not over for everyone, of course. If you're in the NBA, you have a few months to go until the Finals. And, if you're coaching AAU or the like, you're season is just starting.
First, regardless of the level you coached or the success
you had this past season, we here at Hoops U. congratulate you. We appreciate you for all that you do for the game of basketball. Coaching isn't for everyone and not everyone can be a coach.
We commend you for the work you do, for teaching the game the right way, and for striving to be a better coach. Kudos!
Second, when the season ends, many coaches hang up their whistles and put away their basketball stuff ... not to be taken out until
next fall/winter.
If that's you, do you want your players to not touch a basketball or work on their skills until next October?
If we expect our players to improve, to learn, to get better .... shouldn't we expect the same from ourselves?
Sure, we're biased, but we think one of the best ways you can help yourself become a better, smarter, more successful basketball coach is by joining the
Hoops U. Basketball Coaching Academy.
Why join
The Academy, you ask?
Here is just a bit of what is inside The Academy doors (not real doors ... just internet doors ... you get to do it all from home, work, library, coffee shop!)
- More than 1,000 basketball plays and drills in the online playbook. That's a lot to sift through, however, they are all organized and tagged so you can easily find what you need. You can also save your favorites to your very own 'My Playbook' app.
- Coaching Certification
& Development Courses. That's right, become a Hoops U. certified basketball coach! Some organizations require certification ... some will be thrilled to see it on your resume! Level I certification is currently available with Level II opening up within a couple of weeks. Level III and other specific development courses will also be coming soon.
- Streaming Coaching Videos. We stream a different coaching video each month and we recently added a Coaching
Instructional video section that will contain videos permanently available for your viewing and learning pleasure!
- Expert Contributors. We get plays, drills, teaching tips, and coaching tactics from some fantastic coaches who understand what it takes to be a successful teacher of the game of basketball.
- Youth Coaching Section. We understand coaching youth basketball is a lot different than coaching high school, college, pro. We also realize that
you may simply be coaching youth for a few years to help out with your kid. We get it ... but we also get that you want to be good and help all the kids get better. This section will help you get what you need.
There is so much more inside The Academy that we can't possibly list in a short email...forums, networking features, free eBooks, free download library of forms, etc...
If you're serious about becoming a better basketball coach, we know
The Academy will help. It's our mission and our goal to improve coaching and we hope you'll join us on that journey.
Check it out for yourself or reply with any questions you may have ... we look forward to meeting you inside The Academy!
Thanks,
Tony Alfonso
