  • 80% of athletes reside in the city of Rochester
  • 25+ college athletes & multiple professional alumni 
  • 100% of the program is run by volunteers
  • 10 members of our coaching staff played for Division I, Division II or Division III basketball programs

HOPE is committed to creating well rounded players on and off the basketball court - setting us apart from most basketball programs. 


In addition to excellent basketball training, we provide quality tutoring and mentoring opportunities for our student athletes. As a result, HOPE players are being accepted at a variety of local private high schools where they can reach their full potential, as athletes, students, and citizens.
