M14Hoops is a youth basketball development brand and training organization dedicated to teaching transferable basketball and life skills to players in grades K-12. Headquartered in Aurora, Illinois (Chicagoland), they operate multiple franchise locations across the United States.
M14Hoops offers a wide variety of year-round seasonal training programs, camps, leagues, and specialized skill sessions for youth basketball players in grades K–12. Their offerings are built to combine foundational "old-school" skills with "new-school" moves through a structured, curriculum-driven approach.
1. Core Training Programs
First Step (K–2nd Grade): Designed for young beginners, this program introduces the absolute essentials of basketball—such as ball handling, proper footwork, passing, and shooting—in a fun, supportive environment. It also includes "First Step: The League" for early live game play experience.
Overtime / Seasonal Training (3rd–8th Grade): Intensive multi-week programs (often running through fall, winter, or spring seasons) structured around dedicated skill development. For example, sessions split focus between ball-handling/scoring techniques and high-volume shooting workouts.
Rapid Fire (9th–12th Grade High School Program): Tailored specifically for high school players during their competitive season. Acting as a supplement to school practices, these Sunday night sessions kick off with ball-handling warmups and focus heavily on high-volume shooting (getting up 150–200+ shots per session).
SSAP (Speed, Strength, Agility, & Power): Athletic performance training options aimed at optimizing physical conditioning, speed, and court mobility for middle and high school athletes.
2. Camps & Holiday Clinics
Seasonal & Holiday Break Camps: Week-long or multi-day training camps held during summer, winter, or holiday breaks. These provide high-level teaching, intensive repetition, and skill focus while players are out of school.
Holiday Skillz Clinics: Single-event, high-intensity clinics (typically 3 hours long) hosted on school holidays (such as Martin Luther King Jr. Day or Presidents' Day). These often incorporate 3-on-3 gameplay to help players immediately apply what they've learned.
3. Leagues & Team Play
In-House Leagues (e.g., MYBL): Recreational or developmental internal leagues broken down by grade groups (e.g., 3rd/4th, 5th/6th, 7th/8th) where players receive professional coaching, structured gameplay, and skill application.
Summer Leagues: Structured leagues balancing competitive gameplay and pickup-style flow to keep players sharp during the off-season.
4. Personalized & Digital Training
Private Instruction: One-on-one or small-group custom training sessions tailored to an individual player's specific developmental needs and goals.
Team Instruction: Programs customized to help entire external travel or school teams adopt structured systems and workflows.
Digital Training Modules: Online video resources and remote training guides (such as Explosive Handles and Weak Hand Wednesdays) to help players practice independently at home.
