Hall of Fame
Our Athletes Playing at the Next Level
Help Us Level Up the Next Generation
The Level Up Hoops Foundation supports youth athletes in the Coachella Valley through training scholarships, equipment assistance, and academic mentorship. No athlete should miss an opportunity because of finances.
Learn About the FoundationWHO WE TRAIN
Level Up Hoops Academy the name behind the desert's best players.
From a 4-year-old's first dribble to real pro workouts, we develop players at every stage the right way, with the same concepts D1 and NBA programs use.
Beginners, Ages 4 & Up
First time picking up a ball? Perfect. We teach the correct fundamentals from day one, real skill development, not recreation habits that have to be unlearned later.
Middle School Development
We train middle schoolers to make their high school teams, with varsity as the goal. We bridge the gap between rec ball and real HS-level play.
High School Players
Whether the goal is earning a spot on the team or becoming MVP of the league, we develop high school players to compete at the top of their game.
College & Pro Training
Real pro-level workouts run by a full team of trainers. Serious athletes get the same programming and intensity college and professional players demand.
