As a parent, I couldn't be more grateful for the incredible experience my son has had with Handle Hoops. From the very beginning, it was clear that this team is built on dedication and passion, not only from the players but from the coaches as well. The coaches go above and beyond to foster growth, not just in basketball skills but in character and teamwork. It’s amazing to see how much my son and his teammates have consistently improved, both individually and as a unit.

Over time, Handle Hoops has become more than just a basketball team – it has truly become a family. The camaraderie and strong bonds among the players are evident on and off the court. My son has made friendships that I know will last a lifetime. It’s been a privilege to watch these young athletes not only win games but grow as confident, respectful, and supportive individuals.

I highly recommend Handle Hoops to any family looking for a basketball program that emphasizes not only athletic development but personal growth and lasting relationships.

We were looking for a knowledgeable coach that coached hard and would push our kids to get the best out of them.  Deke has way exceeded our expectations and we are now excited to have all 3 of our kids in the program this year!!!!

My son Tag joined the program after we watched what happened with my Daughter in the Program.  His results speak for themselves as too what the program can do.  Every ounce of his athleticism and skills took off immediately.  Now he is a force on both sides of the court and his confidence is thru the roof!!  Thanks Handle Hoops!!!!

“Since working with Handle Hoops, both of our sons have taken huge leaps in their physical abilities. The stats on shooting percentages and in games is impressive. But to be honest, the most impressive things are the immeasurable and intangible skills. You may not can measure it but it’s AWESOME to witness.  Both boys have increased their mental toughness, mindset, and confidence by leaps and bounds.  All 3 coaches have impacted both of my sons’ growth more than words can say. Hands down, one of the best decisions we’ve made for our kids is to join forces with Handle Hoops!” 

I am incredibly grateful for the impact my son's basketball coaches have had on his development, both as an athlete and as a person. Their dedication to each player's individual growth is evident, as they provide personalized guidance that has significantly improved my son's skills. They emphasize the importance of teamwork, teaching valuable lessons about working together as a team and sportsmanship while fostering a love for the game. The coaches model hard work and dedication, inspiring the players to strive for excellence, while also instilling core values like respect and integrity. Overall, this program not only shapes skilled athletes but also creates well-rounded individuals, and we are truly thankful for all that they do.

“We have tried out a few different basketball programs and none of them have resulted in the 6 month growth we have seen since we started training with Coach Deke and his team. From physical fitness and stamina, to mental health and game strategy, we couldn’t be prouder of the player development our son received from this program. This is truly next level training, with a great team dynamic.”

Where do I start??? Deke took my daughter at the age of 16 with a dream of playing College Basketball.  He took her raw raw raw athletic ability to the extreme next level! JQ's ball handling, court vision, shooting, and overall IQ for the game skyrocketed in months!  JQ went on the score over 1000 points, led both her AAU program and School team to many victories and championships!!  Resulting in over 20 college offers by the time she was 17!  Deke would travel to combine tryouts with us where she killed the stats and competition. NONE of this would have happened without Deke Carter!!!  Thank u so much Deke!!
