"When I first started playing Hoops4Health in fourth grade I did not know what the newly founded program would give to me. Through a couple of practices, I learned how much the coaches at Hoops4Health actually cared about developing their players to reach their potential. As I got older, I continued to be instilled with knowledge from some great coaches throughout middle school. This is where I learned the dedication and hard work that I would need to become the player that I wanted to be. In high school my love for the program grew as I saw how hard our coaches worked to put our teams in a national schedule to get the most exposure possible. Brendan reached out to so many college coaches for all his players to try and get them all to play at the next level. I would not be the player or person I an today without Hoops4Health and am forever grateful for all the lessons that I have learned. Go Bulldogs!" Brian Conaghan - New Trier - UW-Whitewater (D3)
"This Program is beyond amazing! I played here for most of my AAU days and enjoyed every moment. If your looking for great coaching, a brotherhood, and dedication, this is the program for you. Brendan runs an excellent program for both boys and girls from young ages to high school, teaching mind and body health and advocating diversity and teamwork. You won’t regret playing here for sure. " - Adam Bulwa - New Trier - North Park (D3)
"Hoops4Health has taught me so much about nutrition and basketball throughout the years! It’s an amazing program with great people that really care about your health and your performance. Personally, I played for them for 3 years, and now I’m playing college basketball. The recruiting assistance was amazing as my Coach Brendan did everything in his power to help me get to the place I am today. Whatever is asked from them, they provide! I would strongly recommend Hoops4Health if you want your kid to be looked after at all times." - Karlo Colak - New Trier - Illinois Wesleyan (D3)
"Hoops4Health gave our athlete a place to both "show and grow." There are a lot of teams that give kids a way to be seen, but few that work on getting better as a player, a teammate, and competitor."

"Coach Brendan Kolton worked relentlessly with us to find the right place academically, socially and athletically for my son. As an unsigned senior, Brendan matched my son with 20+ college coaches and colleges who were looking for players that worked hard in the classroom, possessed great character and were fundamentally skilled. His work and outreach to all levels -NCAA D1, D2, D3, NAIA and JUCOS - made it possible for us to find the right fit to meet our needs. As the parent of an under recruited student-athlete, Brendan's knowledge of the recruiting process and direct access to college coaches proved to be invaluable. Daily contacts from Brendan and multiple colleges demonstrated his level of commitment and due diligence exercised during the recruitment period. As a result TJ received offers and high interest from over 15 colleges. He ultimately signed a student-athlete contract worth over $56,000 per year with an opportunity to dominate both academically and athletically. "

"The Hoops4Heath coaches do an outstanding job at all levels. Their focus is player development, whether it’s with high school players on their 17U National team hoping to play in college, young players new to basketball or any player in between. I would highly recommend Hoops4Health to any parent looking for a development focused basketball program that is focused on their child’s goals and ambitions and that has a proven track record of success."

"Great Camp! Everything was well ran. The vibe you got right when I got in the gym was crazy. Lot of kids and a lot of energy. Best part was the health aspect. Exposing them to good healthy habits and to make that a way of life is so important."
"I was happy to be a part of Hoops4Health's 10 anniversary. It was great to be able to share my journey with health and living a healthy lifestyle with the kids. They are the next generation. Hoops4Health is a great platform for basketball fundamentals and promoting healthy living. Look forward to being back soon!"
"I think the highlight was the full court games with the kids. Getting to just go out there and play games with them was a blast. I also thought the one on one games with the kids was great. Felt the instruction was at a high level and breaking down the correct way to shoot was a great addition."
