Our Mission
SYA Hoops believes in one setting themselves apart from the masses. We encourage discovering your gifts and talents and using them to better yourself and those around you.
Brick by brick, we start building a solid foundation by teaching the principles learned from the game of basketball and instilling them into life itself. The game of basketball is a valuable tool used to build and mold a person. A player's passion, determination, work ethic, discipline, coachability, leadership skills, and self accountability are all traits learned within the game.
Holistically equipping an athlete to be more than JUST an athlete is gravely important and needed.
