Introducing Hoopskills…
Hoopskills Basketball Academy will suit you if you want flexibility in the type of course you study – for example you could train in early years, health and social care, sport or art and design. This academy is open to 16-19 year old male and female students. As a member of the Hoopskills Basketball Academy at Stoke on Trent College, you will receive professional coaching by experienced and highly qualified coaches, including Shawn Jamison, ex-harlem globetrotter. You’ll take part in 4 practical coaching sessions a week (10 hours in total) to fit around your timetable, as well as having the chance to play regular competitive fixtures in the Association of Sport (AOC Sport) West Midlands regional leagues and cups.
Sports massage, rehabilitation and strength and conditioning support will also be available to all players.
Case study
Stoke on Trent College student athlete Alex Tew, received a scholarship to attend Weber State University, located in Utah.
Tew attended Stoke on Trent College from 2017-19. He was brought to Stoke by his head coach Shawn Jamison who is a former Harlem Globetrotter and runs his Hoop Skills Basketball Academy in partnership with Stoke on Trent College.
During his time at Stoke, Alex would win an AoC National Championship and was also invited to participate in the Luol Deng camp for the top 50 players in the UK.
Alex is a great kid and this scholarship is well deserved. We wish him the best and I’m sure he will make us proud.
Shawn Jamison, Hoopskills Basketball Academy Director
I would like to thank Stoke on Trent College and The Hoop Skills Basketball Academy for all the support they have given me during my 2 years at Stoke. This programme provided me with the best opportunities to succeed at an elite level!
