The Best Player You Can Be

Being 6 feet tall in 6th grade, most coaches put me on the block. Shaker made sure I developed a complete game, especially my ball handling. The foundation I built training with him for five years helped me reach and transition to the college level. I’m incredibly grateful for the role Shaker played in my development—he doesn’t just train athletes, he builds complete basketball players.

My son experienced Shaker at a team practice and personally asked to go back. That was all I needed to sign him up. His development as a player was the reason we started, but I quickly realized the mentorship and environment at STH were just as valuable. The coaches don't just teach basketball, they build relationships. His connection with Shaker and Brad led him to volunteer all summer with Ball4All and the recent March Break camp, and it's inspired him to start his coaching certificate. In one year he went from a bench player to a starter. That's what this program does.

Shake True Hoops goes beyond teaching basketball skills—it builds confidence, discipline, and teamwork. Shaker and his coaches are not only knowledgeable, but they truly care about each child's development both on and off the court. I've watched my son grow in ways I didn't expect. My son's skills have improved tremendously, but more importantly, his self-confidence has soared. He's learned how to handle challenges, support his teammates, and take pride in his efforts. I am incredibly grateful for this experience and would highly recommend this basketball program to any parent looking for a supportive, enriching, and successful environment for their child.
