2012 Hoop Hunter Top Tier Program

Hoop Hunter Basketball lady hoopers spent 8 weeks training as we prepared them for the upcoming 2012-2013 basketball season.

As far as we're concerned, there's a place for everyone in basketball.

A Father's Love for The Game

Age ain't nothing but a number for Dr. Clint Duval. Who said that you can only play basketball when you're in your teenage years. We'll Dr. Duval, as you see in the picture above, is in such great shape that he can still take on those young buck's with a friendly competitive game of basketball. As you can see, he doesn't mind sweating. He has a shot that's almost impossible to block because he shoots it further back than most shooters. His favorite shot is the bank shot. I know this because when his son's were taking private and group lesson's we played a lot of 2 on 2 and 3 on 3.

Hat's off to Clint Duval. He's an old school Hoop Hunter.

Through Hard Times

Through hard times our true character is developed. 
Through hard times we learn to sustain.
Through hard times we develop the strength and ability to over come.
Through hard times God reveals His purpose for our lives.

"When you're faced with hard times; get ready for a positive break through".

"What it takes to have a Successful Season"

If you want to have a successful season, you must commit yourself to constantly improving your personal knowledge, skills, concepts of the game and play. You must choose to practice when others are resting. You must also bring a competitive spirit & energetic attitude to practice and games. You must compete every single day with one goal in mind; get better! 

Player's should go hard in practice meanwhile pushing themselves and others to be the very best that they can be. Player's must play the game with confidence. Confidence is knowing. If you know how and what to do, you will be more likely to play with assertiveness. Confidence and assertiveness go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other. 

Players must also study game film and understand what their oppenents strenghts and weaknesses are. Players must play to their strengths and avoid doing things that exploit their weakness. They must respect their coaches at all times and the role that they want them to play. They must limit off the court distractions, especially those that come from people who yell from the stands.

And last, you must accept this one simple fact of life, "Your best isn't always good enough to get you  what you think you deserve or the win." 

Rich Man-Poor Man

If you were rich and didn't know Jesus and you had 24 hours to live, who would you rather spend your last 24 hours with; the rich man who you knew didn't know Jesus but had everything you could want to enjoy those last moments, or the poor man who you talked about daily as you drove past him as he walked along the road reading his bible and speaking to the the Lord ("That Jesus Freak")?

Jesus Jesus Jesus

I realize that not everyone feels comfortable sharing the Gospel of Christ with others in an open forum and that's okay. But I can't deny that God has purposed me to share the Gospel of Christ through sports. 

This morning, God spoke to my heart and asked me to share with each of you that, "He's the only answer to our every circumstances" and that "In the name of Jesus, we receive His power, healing, forgiveness, justice, peace & love".

I pray this morning to everyone who has been lost, lived a life of sin, those who have been mad at God, made bad decisions and those who have denied His presence would accept Him and choose to lead a Christ centered life. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. John 14:6 

"I did it and it changed me forever, if I can do it you can do it". 

God Bless!
