Hoops Heroes is more than just a basketball program – it’s an initiative designed to mentor and nurture young children by fostering both athletic excellence and personal growth. Founded by Kingsley Ogwudire, a former Harlem Globetrotter and former captain of the Nigerian national basketball team, in partnership with Councilmember Lisa Kaplan, this program equips children with the skills to succeed both on the court and in life. Through basketball training and life skills coaching, we help develop leadership, teamwork, discipline, and resilience in our future stars.
