Our Mission and Vision

Hustle Through Hoops Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded with the mission to transform lives and uplift communities through the power of basketball. We are dedicated to providing high-quality programming that empowers youth, builds character, and strengthens unity among all age groups in the community.

Our programs address a growing need in public schools and underserved communities where access to training, mentorship, and athletic development is limited. By focusing on fundamentals and advanced skill-building, we aim to bridge the gap between potential and opportunity.

Who We Work With

Loudon County Public Schools: Through our affiliation with LCPS we will be able to train after school. Therefore, providing more experience and year around guidance.
Parks, Recreation, and Community Services (PRCS): As a vendor for PRCS, we will provide new and innovative programs while being responsive to the needs and interests of the community.

We Believe:
Demonstrative training and next level preparation lead to real results.
Emphasizing the fundamentals of the game are the keys to success.

Our Youth Programs

Where Fun meets Competition

The public-school athletic department statewide is underserved; we plan to help change that. The majority of athletes need access to extra skill work to progress and compete at the highest level. By utilizing the off season, we will provide strength, agility, and skill developmental training to athletes in elementary, middle, and high school.

HTH Basketball Skill Camp

We offer comprehensive basketball clinics and camps aimed at advancing the skill development and sports IQ of our athletes. Our organization believes in demonstrative training to enhance talents and sharpen both offensive and defensive skills. We emphasize the fundamentals and build from there, ensuring that time spent on the court is enjoyable! We will also focus on structured basketball play as we prepare for our Fall 3-on-3 Basketball League.

Camp Hustle

Achieve your goals faster and have fun while doing it! We focus on total body control and the fundamental areas of training, including strength and power, speed and agility, coordination, and conditioning. Regardless of each camper’s favorite sport or skill level, our camps are designed to develop the athletic skills necessary to help them become their best selves.

3 Vs 3

The Little Leagues

Our goal is to be the middle ground between local youth leagues and AAU leagues; open for all genders, ages 5-17 thereby maximizing experience and exposure opportunities for everybody. As our league populates, approved and provided coaches will be assigned.

Adult Program

Semi Pro - AM

Open to the public, promoting community involvement through local competitive pick-up games. Our league is for former and current collegiate, pro-athletes, and college-bound high school seniors who want to learn from veterans and pros how to improve their game.

This league features a seven week, fourteen game guarantee season, with championship and bonus prize. Having 4 seasons a year, our organization will fill their off season with sponsored tournaments.

Tournaments with teams varying from 5 verses 5, 3 verses 3, and individual 1 verse 1, will ignite the competitive nature of the sport and unite the community in yearlong competitive fun and provide more exposure opportunities for athletes looking to advance their careers.
