In 1974, a southern rock band by the name of Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote the song "Sweet Home Alabama", and in 2002 Reese Witherspoon played a southern bell  in the movie. Excitingly, NIKE and Elite Hoops are still singing and starting in "Sweet Home Alabama"! Over the past 5 years, Homewood High School has been Elite Hoops' sweet home of Alabama. Each year the Homewood basketball camp sells out. This year we are adding two new locations, Trussville...

Again ladies and gentlemen, i love this time of year! In March anything goes. Top ranked teams fight to stay on top with various team eyeing their backs. Lower rank teams are tired of being over looked and want to make a huge statement to shock the world! Honestly at this point, plays can only help you stay in the game and fight in battle. Heart and determination is the best play possible. The play set for this week is simple....we will call it "HEART". Coaches,...

Downtown Atlanta, GA almost never sleeps. Major television stations such as CNN, TNT, and TBS are located downtown. The Atlanta Falcons, Braves, and of course the Hawk's facilities is known as the heart of the city. Adding to the madness literally, Atlanta is hosting the 2013 NCAA Men's Final Four. Sometimes you just want to get away from the all the action, and I know just the place. If you head to North Atlanta on HWY 400, at the top you will find Saint Francis...

Its THAT time of year again! All my true basketball fans should know why the emphasis is on the word THAT. If not, I will explain in two words...MARCH MADNESS! Right now teams on every level are fine tuning and making the proper adjustments to win championships. Coaches, you have to be ready for the unexpected and new schemes. Players must refocus and pay closer attention to detail. Fan, scream and cheer til your face turns Kentucky blue. Today's playset...

The 2013 Arkansas camp location will be in Little Rock for the second straight year, but trust me there is nothing "little" about the way we "rock" basketball there! If you think that line is catchy, we are adding a second camp at Episcopal Collegiate School for all you little rockers that want extra work. Last summer the inaugural Elite Hoops NIKE Basketball Camp in Little Rock quickly sold out, so June and July this summer will be even better. Micah Marsh,...

Live by the 3...die by the 3! How many times have you heard phase in basketball? Last year during the 2011-2012 basketball season, over 500 teams across the country shot better than 38% from beyond the arc. Personally that is living pretty good, but there is always two sides to a story. That same season, more than double the amount of teams shot worst than 23% from 3 point range. I would say that is dying. My resolution to keep everything par is to have designated...

The true object for the offense is to score as easy as possible. If a team can come down the court and make one pass to score, it would be bad basketball to make it more complicated than that. Unfortunately that never really happens. The offense has to execute a series of actions to misdirect the defense. When the all 5 offensive players work together properly, scoring can be a thing of beauty. Lights, camera, ACTION! Today's playset is called "ACTION"....
