All Sports & Games Camps

Remember the old school days when kids got on their bikes and spent the summer days with friends at the playground? Those were special times. HoopEd is bringing kids back to the playground with the All Sports and Games camp. Kids will spend each day rotating around all different sports in an environment where coaches teach the rules of the playground, incorporate all of the kids regardless of abilities, and stress the important lessons of sportsmanship and being honest in play. Games include everything from kickball, soccer, flag football, whiffle ball, and basketball to all sorts of dodge ball games, capture the flag, and even old school "kick the can!"

Unleash the Fun with NEW Daily Themes such as:

• Kickstart Monday: Kick off the week with SPUD, Handball, and Blind Man Volleyball - a twist on the classic game!
• Teamwork Tuesday: Bring your A-game with with team sports such as Soccer, Capture the Flag, Flag Football, and relay races. Ignite your child's competitive spirit and agility skills!
• Blast Off Wednesday: Home runs all day! Have a blast playing Kickball, “One Base” Kickball, Fat Bat Baseball (for the younger ones), and Whiffle Ball (for the older kids)
• Dodge it Day Thursday: Dodge, dip, dive, duck, and dodge some more! It’s a dodgeball showdown with Catch me in dodgeball, Doctor dodge, Army dodge and Squatball
• Camp Olympics Friday: Unite with your teammates, represent countries from around the world, and compete in an epic day of team sports and friendly competition!

Boys and girls ages 5 to 13 are welcome. The HoopEd coaches create an environment where kids of all skill levels and abilities feel comfortable and included. Although we always compete to win, the spirit of the game and FUN is at the center of everything we do. Simply put, kids have fun and learn by DOING!

Body Movement & Ball Skills

HoopEd is excited to introduce this unique class concept aimed at developing overall body movement and athletic skills. The classes will cover stretching techniques, footwork skills, passing and catching, ball skills and overall hand eye coordination development. This introductory level class will start with individual activities and will progress to team and sport specific concepts. Join HoopEd to learn the fundamental bases to be successful in any sport.

D-School

Everybody wants to be the leading scorer however, true ballers know defense wins championships! Most camps focus on teaching and building a player's offensive skills but every coach wants a player that can DEE-UP! Perhaps as a result of a lack of time, defense is not being stressed at the youth level practices. The D-School is your answer. This unique camp concept will teach the basics of solid individual defense as well as the more advance level of team and helpside defense. The D-School Camp encourages player's to challenge him/herself to be a conscience and active factor on the defensive end.
