PLAYER DEVELOPMENT HOOPS
Briarcliff | Jefferson Valley
Player Development Hoops
Player Development Hoops (PDH) focuses on developing and empowering young athletes both on and off the court. We are focused to not only make our young athletes better basketball players but to help them grow overall as young adults.
We will provide a challenging yet fun environment that allows our athletes to create lifelong friendships and basketball skills. We strive to teach our athletes the why’s behind the game of basketball helping them to get an edge on their opponents. It does not matter what level you are when you start with us with each player we will build on their strengths and improve their weaknesses. Through time, effort and commitment we believe our players will get better and have fun doing it.

Tryout FAQ

Do we have to attend all of the tryouts?
No, but there are 3 opportunities to tryout and the tryout fee covers all 3 tryouts. The more times the coaching staff is able to see the athlete the better they are able to evaluate them.

PDH Private Trainings
PDHoops Scholarship Fund
PDHoops wants to help anyone and everyone both on and off the court. During our Spring 2023 season, we started the PDHoops Scholarship Fund. Through our coaches, programs, and fundraising efforts we were able to fund 5 awesome athletes. We are hoping to grow this with our communities help, in order to offer partial and full program financial aid to those athletes in need. If interested in donating or helping in anyway please click below to fill out an inquiry form. Thank you in advance for your help, every little bit helps to fund an athlete’s season!

Meet the Coaches
The Coaches and trainers of PDH have high school, collegiate and professional team and individual coaching experience. Our staff has collectively worked with over a dozen professional basketball players (both male and female) and countless college athletes. They are dedicated to working with the players to help them achieve both on court and off court goals. Players will learn how and why to make a certain move as well as how to function on a team. Our staff does not stop once the clinic, training or camp does. They are fully invested in their athletes to help them in their basketball career as well as to be a positive role model for them.
