Westside Hoops Academy

If you’re looking for a way to seriously improve your child’s basketball skills, we’ve recently discovered Westside Hoops Academy! Their very experienced coaches (that usually coach high school teams) keep kids ages 5 – 13 engaged for these intense 2 hour clinics, during which they work on important skills. They have groups of 10 or less working with a high school coach on dribbling, shooting, defensive, and offensive skills. Coach Ramsey gives the kids a pep talk at the end to enforce the importance of practice and hard work. My son goes home from the clinics with more enthusiasm for practicing basketball.
They meet at Crossroads School, Culver City high school, and other westside locations. We’ve only done the Sunday clinics so far, but we plan on enrolling in the holiday/​summer camps and clinics whenever they have them. Prices are reasonable – $ 30 for 2 hours (30 second water breaks only). Enrollment is straightforward and can be done online thru their website, using paypal.
