History of the Legacy Hoops Basketball Club
The Legacy Hoops Basketball Club was established in 2002. It has now grown into one of the top AAU basketball programs not only in the Twin Cities, but Legacy Hoops also fields elite teams each year which have long been recognized as among the best teams in the nation. The Legacy Hoops Basketball Club provides great opportunities for both boys and girls to play in a fun and competitive environment throughout the spring and summer. The Legacy Hoops Basketball Club provides these athletes with opportunities to develop, strengthen, and enhance each individual’s overall level of play. The true measure of our success, however, lies in the fact that we provide all of our Club members the life skills to grow as young men and women.
The Legacy Hoops Basketball Academy
One of the unique features of Legacy Hoops is that we are the only spring/summer basketball club in the metro that offers development opportunities for our participants year around. The Legacy Hoops Basketball Academy, home to the Legacy Hoops Basketball Club, is a 26,000 square foot training facility located in Hopkins. The Academy’s staff of professional trainers has an unmatched reputation for preparing young men and women for competitive basketball. Our intensive, results oriented, training programs are available to Club and non-Club members alike. While Club members receive significant discounts for participating in our training programs, the value of our programs is reflected in the fact that we provide training for young men and women who play for virtually every basketball and volleyball club in the Twin Cities.
Legacy Hoops Basketball Club Mission
At Legacy Hoops, our primary focus is skill development. In a landscape where winning and competition are often emphasized, we believe development should never be sacrificed. We are confident that hard work, competition, and winning can go hand in hand with athlete development. Our goal is to teach the game while empowering our athletes to learn, grow, and apply those lessons both on and off the court. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome and valued. Beyond basketball, we pride ourselves on building lasting relationships—not only with our athletes, but with their families as well. When the ball stops bouncing, the relationships we’ve cultivated are what matter most, and that is the true Legacy we aim to leave
Legacy Hoops Basketball Club Philosophy
Our philosophy is to place the best players on the most competitive team in their age group. Playing time is not equal and the more skilled players who follow the club rules will play more than their teammates. Our players and parents invest a lot of money and time in our club and it is the club’s responsibility to provide our players with quality coaching, training, facilities and management. We want all of our teams to be competitive and win. However, winning and losing are the variables but the drive to compete at the highest level is our standard.
We ask all of our coaches to challenge their players every day in practice and insist on their best effort. Our coaches will not tolerate bad attitudes, tardiness, lack of hustle or the desire to compete. Whenever they step on the court we expect our student-athletes to Expect to be the Best!
