Start Your Transformation at the Rooftop Academy
Every athlete’s journey at BTG begins at our private Rooftop Academy in Marina del Rey. To ensure your child is placed in the training group that best fits their current skill level and goals, our initial assessment is held in a focused, private environment.
THE GOAL: Building Competence & Confidence.
THE btg wAY
At BTG, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all drills. We believe confidence is earned when an athlete learns how to solve problems on the court using their own natural movement.
Functional Skill Development
Every athlete moves differently. We don't teach a rigid "right way" to play. Instead, we help players develop the functional tools they need to be effective within their own movement patterns.
Decision-Making & Adaptability
Basketball is a game of constant change. Our sessions use "Game-Based Training" to teach athletes how to read the floor and adapt. We want them thinking the game, not just memorizing a move.
The Transformation
Success Beyond the Game. We demand high effort, communication, and accountability. We are preparing these athletes for life through the lens of sport.
THE ROADMAP
TWO PATHS. ONE STANDARD.
Every athlete aged 9–13 trains within a group designed for their stage of development.
Ages 9–11
YOUTH ACADEMY
THE GOAL: Build a Strong Foundation.
Focused on movement, joy, and finding your flow. We teach the basics through high-energy games so the athlete learns how to move naturally and solve problems while staying engaged.

Developmental Training
THE GOAL: Bridge the Gap.
For the intermediate athlete preparing for middle school competition. We shift from recreational habits to high-IQ decision-making and learning how to adapt your skills to real game scenarios.

YOUR INITIAL ASSESMENT
WHAT TO EXPECT
We don't do "tryouts"—we do transformations. During your athlete's first session, they will be integrated into an intentional training session. After the hour is up, a Lead Coach will provide a direct assessment of where they currently stand and the best path forward within the BTG Academy.

SUCCESSFUL STORIES
I wanted my son to get the edge he needed to become a college basketball player. Coach Myson helped [David] by not only training him on the skill he needed to secure a scholarship, but he went as far as playing against him to make sure he was ready to perform in front of college coaches. I would recommend Hoops Univeristy to anyone who wants their son or daughter to develop or sharpen their skills.

You can search, but you'll never find a better trainer for your child. Stop wasting time and get going. You'll never regret it.

We are so appreciative of you and all your hard work and positive energy. You are helping Nick transition to a guard and playmaker! We are looking forward to continued elevation of his game to make it to the next level. Nick is starting as a 7th grader on his middle school team. That would not have happened without your guidance and Nick's hardworking attitutde!!
