Hoop Academy's Elite Girls' Skills Clinic
**Due to a conflicting school event at St. Bernard's on Sunday, 9/28, we will be holding the session on Saturday, 9/27 instead of Sunday. The clinic will begin and end at the same times, 9am to 1030am. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.**
We have changed the format for the Skills Clinic, expanding it to 9 sessions throughout the Fall, beginning in September and leading all the way up to the first week of basketball tryouts in Connecticut. The cost will remain the same, and you can attend as many sessions as you'd like. If you are playing in the Connecticut Storm Fall league, our clinic sessions will end at 10:30am, giving you time to get to NFA for your games, which begin at 11:15am. Details are listed below.

🏀 Important Announcement from The Hoop Academy 🏀
We want to take a moment to clarify some changes regarding our name and identity. For a time, we partnered with The Hoop House in Norwich, and during that partnership, we renamed our AAU division to The House Basketball Club. However, The Hoop House closed in August 2024, and we’ve noticed some ongoing confusion about the name.
To make things clear, in the coming months we will be transitioning back to calling our AAU program Hoop Academy Basketball. If you have any question about any teams or programs, your point of contact is Coach George Hardison at (860) 625-4968 or thehoopacademy@gmail.com.
But one thing remains the same: The Hoop Academy is here to stay. We are not just a place—we are a community, a family, and a tradition built on a passion for the game. Thank you for being part of this journey with us! The Hoop Academy is not a place; it's a people.
