“At a time when I was searching for a basketball family, Legacy Hoops was the only club that welcomed me with open arms. During my six years of AAU basketball, I had coaches who were dedicated to developing my skills – but at Legacy, I found something even more special: coaches who were wanting to develop me as a player AND person. I am incredibly grateful to the coaches who not only helped me grow as a player but also guided me in making the right decisions for my future after AAU basketball. I can confidently say that I am happy, successful, and in the right place today because of their belief in me, both on and off the court.”

“I started going to Legacy Hoops to train in the 3rd grade. My dad would sign me up for sessions 2-3 times a week and each time I entered the gym I would receive the biggest hug from Demondi or Rah, from the very moment I started training at Legacy I was treated like family. They pushed me harder each and every time I entered that gym and wouldn’t let me leave until I gave it my all, because they always knew there was something more to give. It wasn’t until my junior year of high school I started playing with the program and it was the best decision I have ever made. My AAU coach and Demondi encouraged me to become a better athlete and person through my summer and guided me to commit to play basketball at my #1 school, United States Coast Guard Academy. None of what I am doing now would be possible without Legacy Hoops.”

“Coach Johnson, is the real deal. He looks out for his athletes first! He doesn’t stop working with them even after they leave the Legacy Hoops Program. He helped our daughter obtain a full-ride scholarship out of high school and out of the transfer portal. He is networked in with colleges across the country and his opinion and insight matters to collegiate coaches. One of the best to ever do it!”
