HoopStar Academy was recommended to me by a friend. My 11yo son had a desire to learn how to play basketball-he had NEVER played before. My son has now been at HoopStar Academy for 4 months. He began with weekly one-on-one sessions, and is now on the Skills Edge United League. He has progressed tremendously. He continues to learn and improve each time he goes to HoopStars Academy. My son is looks forward to training and games at HoopStars Academy. He literally would beg me to sign him up for his next one-on-one sessions. Now, my 5yo son is in Baby Ballers program.
Mandy Ashton Whitehouse, TXOur son began training with D'Marcus in March of this year. In the short time he has been there his confidence has grown so much, with each training we are seeing growth physically and mentally. So far our son has been able to take ball handling, jump ball, and performance training and he has loved them all. This is what my son has to say, " I love the training and my skills have gotten better. Coach Brady and Coach D'Marcus are very nice."
Marisa Ramirez Jacksonville, TXMy daughter has been attending HoopStar Academy for about 6 months now. At the beginning, my daughter was nervous and wasn’t sure of what to expect, but after the first practice she was hooked. Her growth of confidence and ball handling skills has increased significantly. She thoroughly enjoys every aspect of her training and getting to meet other kids who are working just as hard to become better at their craft. It doesn’t matter what age or skill set, Coach Johnson makes all of them feel comfortable. I must say this was one of the best investments for my child and I look forward to watching her continued growth.
Shanita Price Lindale, TXIf I could give a 10, I would! My daughter has been coming to Hoopstar Academy since May. The growth we have seen from her across the board in every aspect is outstanding! She absolutely loves everyone there...Coach D, Coach E and Coach Brady( aka..Hops as we call him)😄. They have all helped her confidence to soar, which was a huge thing for her. She absolutely loves basketball and I can't wait to see the baller that she becomes as we continue this program!! 100/100 will recommend Coach D and his programs to everyone!!!!
Rachel Fortner Bullard, TXTOTALLY AWESOME, WORTH THE DRIVE!! Our daughter has been going to HoopStar Academy for a year. When she started she was behind in the game & lacked confidence. Demarcus has helped her confidence and improved her game. I would highly recommend HoopStar Academy to anyone wanting to further there game and build confidence in there child.
Mitchell Ipock Longview, TXWhat a great program!!! I was a player in the program for 2 and 1/2 years. If you are or have a player that is looking to further their skills, this is the place and guy to do so. Coach Demarcus and Brady have perfected teaching because they don’t only use one style of teaching they tailor the teaching style to the needs of the player. Basketball skills are not even the best thing I walked away with from the program. I learned life altering lessons. Coach Demarcus not only grows you as a player but as a human!
