TEAM HOOP DREAMS

“People ask me all the time when I make don’t forget them – by I ask if I don’t make it will you forget me”

William Gates – Hoop Dreams (94)

Hoop Dreams the 1994 Movie Documentary that change the scope of basketball and recruiting on the high school basketball scene. The movie challenge some of the most fundamental aspect of high school recruiting and player life that had gone unseen. And because of that, the game I love so much I have been teaching and developing youth and giving them an opportunity to play high level high school basketball, but also play in an environment that is safe and well maintain.

I am writing about the Hoop Dreams AAU team that I have been leading in San Antonio for the past few years.  Your support is very important to us and will be instrumental in helping us to have a successful season.

Our team this year consists of boys and girls who come from all over the San Antonio area who really demonstrate a lot of promise and bring a lot of enthusiasm to the program.  About half of our team players do come from homes where finances are a challenge and do not have the financial ability to pay all of the costs for the team fees and our out of town trips.  I am trying my best to help them by raising funds and obtaining sponsorship to offset these costs so they can benefit and have full participation.

We have a great local gym that we use for practice.  Games, travel and lodging takes the majority of the budget for the seasons, I am trying to raise $15,000 so that we can have an amazing season for these future Hoop Dreamers.
