Lil Hoopers provides an opportunity for preschoolers to learn the game of basketball. This “all about the fun” class will introduce basketball basics as children, ages 3-5, experience being part of a team.
Lil Hoopers began as a U Family offering prior to the COVID pandemic and was coached by Grek Powers, G Powers Training founder and owner.
Lil Hoopers is now coached by Isley Brown, who not only is a former Skyline High School basketball player but was also a player on Grek Powers teams when he was in elementary school. Coach Isley is currently the U School’s Movement & Games specials teacher as well as subsitute teacher. He is currently a student at Wayne Sate University and also coaches the U School basketball program “Lil Hoopers” in the winter and t-ball program “Lil Batters” in the spring. He has previous experience as child care staff member at AAPS Rec & Ed where he has also served as youth coach and soccer referee. Isley has a passion for working with young children and coaching. He is also the oldest son of U School co-founder and director, Ryan Brown. We are very excited to have Isley continue coaching Lil Hoopers as a part of our U Family programming!
