about
how it started
Super Hoopers began with one simple moment on a basketball court. Coach Tre started volunteering at the YMCA, coaching his son’s basketball team. What he didn’t expect was that several players on the team had special needs. There was no special training, preparation, or warning just kids who wanted to play basketball like everyone else. Instead of seeing challenges, Coach Tre saw opportunity.
He realized many families of children with special needs struggle to find sports programs that truly welcome and support their kids. Traditional leagues often aren’t designed for different learning styles, sensory needs, or developmental differences. Standing in that gym, Coach Tre had a simple but powerful thought:
Why isn't there a basketball league created specifically for kids with special needs?
A place where every child could feel confident.
A place where ability mattered more than limitations.
A place where kids could learn, play, and belong.
From that idea, Super Hoopers 501(c)(3) was born. Today, Super Hoopers is building a community where athletes with disabilities can develop basketball skills, build friendships, and grow their confidence on and off the court. Every dribble, every shot, and every cheer helps remind our players that they are capable of amazing things. But we can’t do it alone. Your support will help us build our dream Super Hoopers training facility a place where athletes with special needs can feel included, supported, and empowered every time they step onto the court.
Together we can create a space where every child belongs, every effort is celebrated, and every athlete has the opportunity to succeed.
