Description
We are a nonprofit organization developed to provide life skills curriculum geared toward the motivation and encouragement of young men and women. Arthur Agee Jr. is the star of the critically acclaimed documentary “Hoop Dreams”, based on two young African American NBA hopefuls trials and tribulations through high school & college, and his follow up documentary “Hoop Reality: Control Your Destiny” filmed in 2007 to track the reality of not making it into the NBA.
This is the story board for the 5 day life skills curriculum and presentation he now presents to schools as well as basketball camps.
We are now booking engagements with various schools and camps throughout the U.S, and would love bring “Hoop Dreams Week” to your students. This program is unique and provides a great motivation for youth to carry with them as they move on to the next grade level.
