OUR MISSION
Our mission at Live.Learn.Hoop. is to empower and educate individuals of all ages, with a special focus on K-8 students, through the game of basketball. We are dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of the sport, including court awareness, spatial awareness, and movement memory. With the guidance of our Director and main clinician, Dr. John Tobin, who brings 46 years of coaching experience, we strive to instill a passion for basketball and foster personal growth and development in every player we work with. Our commitment is to create a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals can live, learn, and hoop together.
Court Awareness
A player’s ability to understand and anticipate on-court situations by recognizing teammates’ positions, tracking opponents, and understanding the overall game dynamics.
Spacial Awareness
A player's understanding and ability to navigate the court efficiently, avoid defenders, and find open spaces, ultimately enhancing overall court awareness and improving gameplay efficiency.
Movement Memory
By simply repeating the exact same muscle movements over and over again, like when shooting a basketball, precise patterns of muscle coordination are established in the brain and become automatic to the body.
The Fundamentals
