A letter from Nikko & Victoria
Dear Hoop Lab Families,
We hope you've had an amazing summer and are as excited as we are to tip off what promises to be our most dynamic season yet! As we gear up for the 25/26 season at both Hoop Lab Roslyn and Hoop Lab Syosset, we can't wait to welcome you back to the courts and share some of what’s new this season.
New & Familiar Faces
All of your favorite coaches are returning for another incredible season, bringing the same energy, expertise, and dedication you've come to love. We're also thrilled to welcome some exciting new additions to our coaching family, including Sean Smith and Matt Trepeta. Our expanded team means even more personalized attention and fresh perspectives to help every player reach their potential.
New Offerings for Members
Hoop Lab Combine - Our version of the NBA Combine, now offered monthly starting September 23rd! Every player tests their vertical jump, shooting accuracy, speed, and agility—then receives measurable results, video clips, and progress dashboards. Plus, our coaches will evaluate all Combine participants for potential level changes, ensuring members are in the best classes for their development.
Hoop Lab Girls Classes - By popular demand, we're introducing dedicated girls-only sessions on our schedule. These classes create a supportive environment where girls can build confidence, develop skills, and take risks.
Dribble & Drive 4x4 and Game Speed 3x3 - Back from our successful spring launch, we're continuing new scrimmage-focused formats. These sessions are designed for players ready to elevate their basketball IQ, conditioning, and ability to perform under real game pressure. It's where skills meet strategy in fast-paced, competitive environments.
Community Offerings *Members & Non-Members Welcome
School Break Sessions - When school's closed, we're open! These intensive training sessions blend focused skill development with fun competition, creating the perfect environment for players to have fun and get off the couch during school breaks.
Hoop Lab x LuHi Basketball Academy Development League Returns - After a great first run, we're bringing back this unique 6-week league this October. Unlike traditional leagues focused solely on winning, our Development League prioritizes learning and growth. Every participant receives substantial playing time to experiment, learn from mistakes, and improve under the guidance of elite coaches from both Hoop Lab and LuHi's nationally ranked varsity basketball team.
Elite HS/College Workouts Continue - By popular demand, our evening workouts for elite players will run throughout the year. Join us on Monday, Friday, and Sunday evenings for dedicated training sessions designed for serious players ready to put in that extra work.
Join Us for Orientation Night
Thursday, September 18th - Celebrate the new season with us, learn more about everything new, and meet our entire team and try mini-classes showcasing all our offerings. Open to current members, prospects, and friends!
We're grateful for your trust and can't wait to see you back on the courts for an unforgettable season.
With excitement and gratitude,
Nikko & Victoria
