Sponsor a Student.

Change a Life.

There’s a hungry kid in our city who wants to train—but can’t.

Let’s change that together.

At Hoop Love Academy, we train the most committed, detail-oriented athletes in Southwest Virginia. But commitment isn’t always matched by circumstance. Every season, we meet young hoopers with fire in their eyes, eager to grow—but unable to afford the opportunity.

This fall, we’re on a mission to bridge that gap.

We’re calling on our community—mentors, alumni, business leaders, parents, and believers in the next generation—to help us provide full or partial scholarships for students who need financial assistance.

Here’s what your gift provides:

Each sponsored athlete receives:

Full access to HLA’s Fall Semester training program (September–December)
High-level group sessions 2–3x per week
Skill-specific clinics & mentorship
Curriculum-based instruction focused on rhythm, movement, and leadership
A structured, supportive environment of like-minded peers

Our Fall goal:

Sponsor 15 in-need athletes for our Fall 2025 semester.

Each full semester scholarship costs $650.

Every dollar makes a difference—whether you cover a drop-in session or a full ride.

Why It Matters:

Kids become better players—and better people through our leadership-infused training.
Access to consistent, quality coaching keeps youth off the sidelines—and off the streets.
Mentorship and skill development open doors to multifold basketball paths—while also preparing athletes for leadership, discipline, and opportunities beyond the game.
Your investment creates a ripple effect—through families, teams, and communities.
