Our Mission

Hoops and Handles is a basketball training lab based in Haverhill, MA.  Our mission is to bring the fundamentals of the game to life while helping our players reach their full potential both on and off the court. We believe in the power of basketball to foster personal growth and development, and our sessions are designed to challenge players physically and mentally. Our coaches are passionate about helping players reach their basketball goals and inspiring them to become the best versions of themselves. 

FULL PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

• ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT
  Strength, speed, power, agility, explosiveness, etc.

 

• SKILL DEVELOPMENT
  Ball handling, shooting, footwork, passing etc.

 

• MENTAL DEVELOPMENT
  This facet of training is largely overlooked. Let’s be clear - you can be the most athletic, skilled player on the court, but without the right mindset, self-sabotage will become inevitable!  Some days you’re shots won’t fall. Some days you’ll be tired. Some days you’ll be sore. This is when you have to dig deep, and COMPETE. Remember, you’re trying to beat someone else.

​

• PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
  Players are not just athletes. They are people. How they handle failures, wins, and interpersonal relationships off the court directly correlates to how they will perform on the court.
