In the near future, we will introduce new staff members and coaching staffs that will coach our 2023 international basketball tours. We will hopefully take our first women tour to Canada in July. We will be contacting players and coaches throughout the winter and spring and promote basketball in 2023.
Please take the time to review our website and services. In the next few weeks, we will get more details out about our tours and camps. If you are interested in participating as a player or coach feel free to contact me atinfo@thehoopteam.com. My number is 717-496-1320.

From Director Dave Springer.
After coaching prep school and college basketball for 35 years, I have decided to retire and will be without a team since 1980 when I coached 13 year olds. Starting with 9/11 and the covid environment, the travel business was disrupted and eliminated The Hoop Team tours. The Canadian/USA border was closed for return to the USA since 2020. International travel has returned to a manageable environment and The Hoop Team is prepared to relaunch and expand our international basketball travel. We will continue to promote basketball through camps, clinics, player development, basketball tours and recruiting. We will continue to focus on the middle atlantic region which includes Pennsylvania, Maryland, DC, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey and southern New York. Finally, we will slowly expand our camp offerings and reach out to college and high school students in the recruiting process.
Over 70 Division I, II and III players have participated in the Can-Am Challenge since 2000.
