Hoop College in Broward County
A Basketball Training Academy
🏀Helping Kids Grow Through Basketball
At Hoop College, we do more than teach basketball. We help kids grow into strong, confident people—on and off the court.
Our training is for kids ages 9 and up. Every session helps your child build:
-
Discipline: Learning to stick with things, even when they’re hard.
-
Responsibility: Taking care of their homework, their choices, and their effort.
-
Maturity: Acting with respect, listening well, and thinking before reacting.
-
Consistency: Showing up, working hard, and doing their best every time.
-
Smart Decision-Making: Learning when to pass, shoot, or slow down—and how to make good choices in life too.
We believe basketball is a great way to teach life skills. Your child will grow as a player—and as a person.
Parents Trust Us
We keep things clear, honest, and supportive. You’ll always know what your child is learning and how they’re doing.

Meet Coach Mak
Founder, Head Coach
Coach Mak grew up in the Caribbean and earned a college basketball scholarship after playing at an International High School Competition in New Jersey featuring many future NBA players. He’s been coaching for over ten years, helping players to score more in real games not just in practice. He helps players understand and improve their skillset which gets them to play with more confidence and intelligence.
He learned the Constraints Led Approach (CLA) from Alex Sarama, an assistant coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Constraints Led Approach has proven to be the fastest way to boost in-game production. Drills are set up like real game situations with small challenges. Players repeat each drill but with a twist, keeping practice fresh, fun, and game-like.
There are no cone drills or long lines. Kids play nonstop, learn to score at all five levels, dribble with purpose, and make the right reads every time. A proud dad, he has five kids who all play sports. One of his kids just got a full scholarship to play at St. Thomas University.
