HOOP CITY ELITE IS HERE IN THE CHICAGOLAND AREA.  THERE WILL BE WORKOUTS AND TEAM TRYOUTS COMING SOON. STAY POSTED FOR DETAILS.

     FROM THE TRANSFER FOR HOOP CITY ELITE FROM HOUSTON, TX TO ATLANTA, GA, IT HAS BEEN EXCITING BUT ALSO SOMBER. ALOT OF MEMORIES AND FRIENDSHIP WERE BUILT AND THEY WILL CONTINUE. THE TIME IN HOUSTON WAS AN EXPERIENCE AND THERE WAS ALOT LEARNED WITH ALL THE LIFE EXPERIENCES, PEOPLE AND BUSINESS CIRCUMSTANCES AND DECISIONS WHICH WERE LAID OUT FOR THIS ORGANIZATION. THE IMPACT AND MEMORIES IN MY LIFE IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON OVER THE LAST 10+ YEARS WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.     

     AFTER A 3 YEAR HIATIS, NOW ITS TIME FOR HOOP CITY ELITE TO SHINE AGAIN. IN THE UPCOMING 2015 SEASON, HOOP CITY ELITE WILL GO GOING BACK TO THE BASICS OF WHAT HAS MADE THIS ORGANIZATION SO SUCCESSFUL. EDUCATION, TRAINING, MENTORING, RECRUITING AND ABOVE ALL ENJOYING THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND WATCHING THEM STRIVE FOR GREATNESS. THERE IS A BUILDING BLOCK FOR SUCCESS AND THE SAME LEARNING CURVE HOOP CITY ELITE HAS ADMINISTERED BEFORE WILL BE PLACED IN THIS SETTING ALSO.

     THERE WILL BE THREE CITIES (ATLANTA, GA LITTLE ROCK, AR AND HOUSTON, TX) THAT WILL ENJOY HAVING THE EXCITEMENT IN THERE GYMS. IN ATLANTA, DEVELOPMENTAL TRAINING WILL SOON BEGIN AND THE WAIT WILL SOON BE OVER. THE INTENSE  BOOT CAMP OF SKILLS AND DRILLS THAT HOOP CITY HAS TO OFFER WILL BE DISPLAYED AND WILL HAVE THESE YOUNG PEOPLE PREPARED FOR GREATNESS. IN THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, AR, THERE IS A GREAT NEED RIGHT NOW AND HOOP CITY ELITE WILL BRING THE FOCUS OF DEVELOPING A COMPETITIVE CONTENDER. IT IS COMING WITH ALOT OF INTENSE HUNGER, DISCIPLINE AND ATHLETICISM. UNDER THE DIRECTION OF BRYAN BENNETT (WHO HAS BEEN WITH THE HOOP CITY ELITE ORGANIZATION SINCE 2009), THE TEAM WILL GROW TO BE CHAMPIONS. AND FINALLY "CLUTCH CITY HOUSTON" IS NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN. THERE WILL BE A FLOW OF ACTION COMING WITH A TEAM IN 2016. ALOT OF LOVE AND SUCCESS HAS COME OUT OF HOUSTON AND IT WILL CONTINUE. 

     STAY POSTED FOR INFORMATION REGARDING HOOP CITY ELITE ACTIVITIES IN THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS.

DEAR 2008-2011 DYNASTY,

I THOUGHT I WOULD TAKE A MOMENT AND SHARE MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PAST FEW YEARS. THERE ARE TIMES IN LIFE WHERE YOU COME INTO A PERSON'S LIFE AND YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT OR NOT. COACHING THE LAST 9 YEARS,(5 YEARS AAU),THE CLASSE(S) OF 2008-2011 HAVE ALL HAD AN IMPACT ON ME. GRADUATING THIS YEAR, THE 2011 CLASS, IN 4 YEARS, THE JOURNEY TOGETHER HAS BEEN PRICELESS. ALL I WANTED WAS A CHANCE TO TEACH AND EARN YOUR TRUST AND RESPECT. THRU THAT, YOU ALL HAVE GROWN AND TURNED INTO FINE YOUNG MEN. IN A SENSE, YOU ALL HAVE MADE ME A BETTER PERSON TOO. FROM THE TIME WE STARTED THIS JOURNEY, ITS BEEN A ROLLER COASTER OF SORTS... TIMES WE HAVE LAUGHED, CRIED, ARGUED, BUT ONE THING THAT ALL THE TEAMS HAVE HAD IS NEVER LOSING CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE GOAL AT HAND, WHICH WAS STAYING TOGETHER, WINNING TOURNAMENTS, AND LOVING LIFE.
WITH OVER 300+ WINS IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, YOU ALL HAVE EXCEEDED ALL OF MY EXPECTATIONS. THE TEAMS WERE GREAT BUT THE MEMORIES ARE GREATER. SOME TEAMS WOULD FALL APART JUST SEEING YALL WALK IN THE GYM. SAN ANTONIO, DALLAS, ATLANTA, LOUISIANA, FLORIDA, OKLAHOMA ETC., HAVE ALL SEEN WHAT HOOP CITY IS ABOUT AND THRU THIS THERE HAS BEEN A LEGACY FOR THE UP AND COMING TEAMS FOR THE FUTURE.
OVER 48,500 ON THE IHIGH.COM/HOOPCITYELITE SITE IS TRULY A DREAM COME TRUE. GOD IS GOOD AND IT COULDN'T HAVE CAME TRUE WITHOUT THE SUPPORT FROM GOD, THE PLAYERS, THE PARENTS.
OUR GRADUATION RATE IS EXCELLENT WITH 100% ACCOUNTABILITY EVERY YEAR. THAT IS THE GOAL FOR ANY PLAYER IS GRADUATION. I'M PROUD OF YOU ALL FOR THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT.
HOOP CITY PLAYERS ARE SPREAD OUT IN DIVISION I,II, AND JUCOS ALL OVER THE SOUTH. AS WE ARE GETTING READY TO GO OUR SEPERATE WAYS,CONTINUE TO STRIVE FOR THE HIGHEST AND NEVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU, "YOU CAN'T." CLASS OF 2012, 2013 AND PLAYERS TO COME, FOLLOW YOUR PREDECESSORS AND STUDY HARD, PLAY HARD, AND LOVE LIFE.
I LOVE YOU ALL AND REMEMBER, I'M A PHONE CALL AWAY. HOOP CITY NOW, HOOP CITY FOR LIFE.

ALWAYS,

RON JONES

FOUNDER/COACH/MENTOR

HOOP CITY ELITE HAS BRANDED OUR OWN TEAM STORE WITH VARIOUS ITEMS TO FIT YOUR LIKING. FROM T-SHIRTS, SWEATERS, TOWELS, HOODIES, ETC. YOU WANT IT, WE GOT IT. DESIGN IT HOW YOU WANT. SO TAKE A LOOK AT OUR TEAM STORE AND MAKE A PURCHASE. PROCEEDS FROM THE PURCHASE GOES TO OUR TEAM.

THE HOOP CITY ELITE ORGANIZATION WILL BE BRANCHING OUT IN 2014 TO ATLANTA, GA. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME WONDERFUL THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED FOR THIS ORGANIZATION OVER THE YEARS; 100% GRADUATION RATE, 17 SCHOLARSHIPS FOR A NUMBER OF AT-RISK KIDS, AND THE MENTORING THAT THE VOLUNTEERS HAVE GIVEN THESE KIDS OVER THE YEARS. WITH ALL THE UPS AND DOWNS, THERE HAS BEEN A GROWTH IN NOT JUST THE KIDS BUT THE ORGANIZATION ITSELF.
SO WITH THE SAME SUCCESS HOOP CITY HAS HAD IN THE PAST, WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FUTURE AND BRINGING THAT SAME ENERGY TO THE ATLANTA COMMUNITY. SEE YOU SOON.

WE ARE UNDERTAKING A MAJOR FUNDRAISER. IN AN EFFORT TO PROVIDE OUR ATHLETES WITH THE FINEST OPPORTUNITIES TO EXCEED ON AND OFF THE COURT, IT IS IN THIS EFFORT THAT WE ASK FOR YOUR HELP.
ON TUES MAY 31, 2011, THE 14U, 16U & 17U HOOP CITY ELITE BASKETBALL TEAMS WILL HOLD A FREE THROW FUNDRAISER. YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME AND ENJOY THE ACTION AND GET A PREVIEW OF THE 2011 14U, 16U & 17U BASKETBALL TEAM. IT WILL BE HELD AT WESTFIELD HIGH SCHOOL @ 7PM. OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE $5,000.00. THESE FUNDS WILL BE USED TO PAY FOR TOURNAMENTS, HOTEL AND TRANSPORTATION FEES, ETC.
WE THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP. BEST WISHES AND PLEASE COME JOIN US AT THIS EVENT.

AT HOOP CITY, THE KIDS DO PLAY ALOT OF BASKETBALL DURING THE SUMMER. ROUGHLY 85-100 GAMES. WE, THE COACHES ARE APPRECIATIVE FOR LETTING US INTERACT WITH YOUR CHILD. BUT IN THE SAME FASHION, WE TRY TO RECOGNIZE THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY MAKE IT HAPPEN AND THAT IS THE MOTHERS. WITHOUT THEM BEING VISIBLE IN THERE CHILDREN'S LIVES THERE IS NO HOOP CITY. SO THIS COMING UP WEEKEND, HOOP CITY WILL BE RECOGNIZING THE MOTHERS AND SHOWING OUR APPRECIATION FOR EVERYTHING THEY DO. THE TOPIC IS "WHAT MY MOTHER MEANS TO ME". DETAILS AE FORTHCOMING...

ONE OF THE FUNDRAISERS HOOP CITY IS DOING THIS YEAR IS SELLING CALENDARS. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, HOOP CITY HAS PLAYED IN ALOT OF TOURNAMENTS AND TAKEN ALOT OF PICTURES. THERE IS SOME VALUABLE INFORMATION INSIDE AND THE WORK DONE ON THIS CALENDAR IS PRICELESS. THE COST OF THE CALENDAR IS $10.00. SO DONATE TO OUR ORGANIZATION BY PURCHASING ONE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

HERE WE GO AGAIN. WELCOME BACK... WELL, LET ME START BY GIVING AN UPDATE ON WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON. HOOP CITY HAS EXPANDED SINCE LAST SEASON BY ADDING A 14U GIRLS AAU TEAM (LADIES OF HOOP CITY). THIS IN ITSELF IS A BEAUTIFUL THING. SO HOOP CITY IS VERY EXCITED TO BRING MORE ENERGY AND FUN TO THIS ORGANIZATION.
THIS UPCOMING SEASON LOOKS VERY PROMISING FOR THE 15U BOYS TEAM. LAST YEAR WAS A LITTLE ROCKY BUT THEY MANAGED TO STAY TOGETHER AND PULL OUT SOME GREAT VICTORIES AND SOME TOURNAMENT WINS LAST SUMMER. THIS YEAR, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF BRYAN BENNETT, THIS 15U TEAM WILL BE RETURNING 4 PLAYERS FROM LAST YEAR'S TEAM. THERE IS NEW ENERGY, NEW TALENT AND RAW HUNGER THAT THIS TEAM BRINGS THIS SEASON. THEY WILL DEFINETELY COMPETE HARD AND BEAT ALOT OF TEAMS. THIS IS A TEAM THAT IS WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION. SO WATCH OUT!!!
AND LASTLY, I HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS AND SOME BAD NEWS... THE BAD NEWS IS THAT THE HOOP CITY 17U LOST 4 SENIORS LAST SEASON TO GRADUATION (JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THEY ARE ALL DOING FINE AND ARE PLAYING FOR THERE RESPECTED SCHOOLS). THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT HOOP CITY 17U BRINGS BACK 8 PLAYERS FROM LAST YEARS GROUP. THESE COMPETITIVE GROUP OF YOUNG MEN ARE PRIMED AND READY TO GO. PICKING UP FROM WHERE THEY LEFT OFF LAST SEASON, THE TWO-TIME RUNNER UP CHAMPIONS(PLACED 2ND @ ALL-AMERICAN NATL'S 2009,2010) WILL PLAY AN AAU SEASON NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN. WITH 71 WINS, 9 OUT OF 15 TOURNAMENT WINS, AND RANKING AS THE #10 TEAM IN THE CITY FROM LAST SEASON, THEY ARE READY FOR WHATEVER TEAM COMES IN THEIR PATH. THERE IS ADDED PRESSURE FOR EXCELLENCE BUT THIS GROUP CAN HANDLE ALL ADVERSITY.
THERE IS AN INTENSE SCHEDULE FOR THE WHOLE ORGANIZATION OF HOOP CITY THIS SEASON. SO WE ENCOURAGE YOUR SUPPORT AT OUR GAMES AND WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO PUT ON A GOOD SHOW.

WOW!!!!! WHAT A SEASON. BIG UPS TO THE HOOP CITY ORGANZATION. A SEASON OF UPS AND DOWNS BUT THE PLAYERS, PARENTS, COACHES, AND SPONSORS MADE THIS A SEASON TO REMEMBER.
UNDER THE DIRECTION OF RON JONES(FOUNDER/COACH) AND GREG STEVENSON(ASST. COACH/CONSULTANT), HOOP CITY HAS PLAYED WELL OVER 150 GAMES IN TWO SEASONS(155-36 OVERALL RECORD)FOR THE 17U, THERE WERE OVER 70 GAMES PLAYED THIS SEASON WITH ONLY 14 LOSSES, 14 TOURNAMENTS WITH ONE NATIONAL APPEARANCE IN SAN ANTONIO @ THE ALL-AMERICAN NATIONALS(RANKED #2 ON THE 17U CIRCUIT @ NATIONALS), 8 QUALITY TOURNAMENT WINS THIS SUMMER, AND 4 SENIORS SIGNED TO DIFFERENT SCHOOLS(RAKIM STEVENSON TO UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON, XAVIER CHANDLER TO THE PRAIRIE VIEW A&M, TRACY DONES TO LONESTAR COLLEGE VIA TOMBALL, AND DARIUS GRAVES TO HOUSTON TILLOTSON) THIS SEASON FOR HOOP CITY HAS BEEN ONE TO REMEMBER.
FROM THE START OF THE SEASON AT THE LET 'EM FLY CLASSIC, HOOP CITY WAS DETERMINED TO SHOW EVERYONE THAT THEY SHOULD BE IN CONVERSATIONS AS ONE OF THE ELITE TEAMS IN THE CITY. WITH 7 YOUNG MEN RESIDING AT ONE SCHOOL(NIMITZ HIGH SCHOOL) AND COMING BACK FOR THE "FINAL RUN" NEXT SUMMER, THIS TEAM IS WELL PUT TOGETHER.
ATLANTA, GA/DALLAS, TX/SAN ANTONIO, TX/ AND LAKE CHARLES, LA WERE SOME OF THE OUT-OF-TOWN LOCATIONS THAT WERE VISITED THIS SEASON AND THERE WERE GREAT SHOWINGS EVERYTIME THEY TOUCHED THE FLOOR.
"THE SHOW" AS THEY HAVE BEEN ORDAINED IS ONE OF THE MOST SPECIAL GROUPS THAT HAS PUT ON THE RED/BLACK IN THE LAST COUPLE OF SEASONS. QUICKNESS, VERSATILITY, AND A LOT OF DETERMINATION HAS MADE THEM ONE TO WATCH OUT FOR THIS NEXT SEASON.
ANOTHER ENTITY TO THIS ORGANIZATION IS THE 14U GROUP UNDER THE DIRECTION OF BRYAN BENNETT FROM LITTLE ROCK, AR. WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO WORK WITH THIS SEASON AND GETTING A LATE JUMP GOING(MAY-AUGUST), THEY YOUNG GUNS WORKED HARD IN PRACTICE AND IT SHOWED WHEN IT WAS TIME TO PERFORM. HAVING A 10 GAME SCHEDULE, THE 14U GROUP WAS IN EVERY GAME THEY PLAYED AND SOMEWHAT DESTROYING THE OPPONENT THEY PLAYED. THEY GOT SOMETHING SPECIAL HAPPENING WITH THIS GROUP.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED ON THIS SPECIAL PROJECT THIS SUMMER AND "THE SHOW" WILL BE READY TO DO IT ALL AGAIN NEXT SUMMER SO STAY POSTED FOR TOURNAMENT DATES, COMMUNITY SERVICE ACTIVITIES, AND OTHER EVENTS.

A WEEKEND TO REMEMBER FOR THE HOOP CITY ELITE(17U) ORGANIZATION. A YEAR AGO HOOP CITY WAS THE #2 RANKED 16U TEAM @ THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN SAN ANTONIO, TX. THIS YEAR'S TEAM FOCUS WAS TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT COULDN'T BE DONE LAST YEAR...WIN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS TOO WAS NOT THE YEAR FOR THIS SPECIAL GROUP OF YOUNG MEN. THEY FELL SHORT TO THE STX VALLEY HOOPSTERS IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME 64-61.
WITH A QUICK POOL LOSS SCARE FROM THE SAN ANTONIO REBELS, HOOP CITY WOKE UP AND PROVED WHY THEY ARE "THE SHOW" WITH DOMINANT WINS THROUGHOUT THE POOL(WINS OVER CORPUS CHRISTI KINGS, BYTF KINGS) AND THROUGH THE BRACKET(TEXAS HOYAS, SA BEARCATS, MO CITY CHOSEN ONES).
IT WAS A GOOD SHOWING FOR THE HOOP CITY(17U)PROGRAM BECAUSE FOR THE 2ND YEAR IN A ROW, HOOP CITY IS THE #2 RANKED 17U TEAM IN THE ALL-AMERICAN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS.

CONGRATULATIONS TO TRACY DONES AND BOBBY GRAY OF THE HOOP CITY ELITE(17U). THEY HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN ALL-STAR WEEKEND IN ATLANTA, GA ON AUGUST 20-22. THEY WERE SELECTED AT THE ATLANTA INVITATIONAL SUPER REGIONAL ON JUNE 11-13 WHERE HOOP CITY PARTICIPATED AND MADE IT TO THE FINAL FOUR BEFORE LOSING TO THE BEAUFORT BOBCATS.

HOOP CITY ELITE(17U), THE DEFENDING RUNNER-UP OF THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN SAN ANTONIO, TX LAST YEAR HAS EVOLVED INTO ONE OF THE DOMINANT TEAMS IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON, TX IS RELLISHING ON THE OPPORTUNITY OF GETTING BACK TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. IT SLIPPED OUT OF THERE HANDS LAST YEAR AND THEY ARE HUNGRY AND FOCUSED TO GET THE JOB DONE THIS TIME. WITH 8 RETURNING, THIS GOAL OF WINNING NATIONALS IS VERY REALISTIC FOR THE HOOP CITY 17'S.
