Advanced Hoops officially began in the summer of 2001 under the direction of Charlie Fortney’s Summer Basketball Camps. For the past 14 years, Charlie has worked closely with Gerald Jarmon and other Professional Coaches to develop a Comprehensive Training Program that currently reaches over 1,500 kids annually. Advanced Hoops has become a Full Time program that reaches kids from K – 12^th Grade. We provide a Year Round Basketball Training experience that offers classes in the areas of 5v5 Instructional Games, Professional Shooting & Dribbling Instruction, Quickness/Strength & so much more. Our training programs focus heavily on Skill Development of the individual in order to build a strong base of fundamentals. Advanced Hoops also emphasizes the importance of Christian Character & Academics that youth can aspire to achieve.

Advanced Hoops has grown tremendously over the last six years. Our AAU Program has taken off significantly since its inauguration in 2009. Since 2011 our program has been the Largest AAU Organization in the Central PA Region and in 2014 served 31 AAU Teams including 8 TOP Showcase Girls and Boys teams. Each year the AAU helps develop young Basketball players into more confident and well round players. Current High School players who play for Advanced Hoops get the chance to showcase their talent in front of College coaches from all over the country.

For the past 5 years Advanced Hoops has owned and operated “High School Sports Live” which has been a partnership with ABC 27 to broadcast Central PA’s top High School Basketball & Football games along with Wrestling matches Live on TV www.HSSLiveTV.com.

We also are proud to provide opportunities for the community through our Full Day Summer Sports & Activity Camps, Home School P.E. Classes, After-School Program & Sports Counseling. Advanced Hoops is also very proud to support the 3 Star Foundation (501c3) 3starfoundation.org, a program that seeks to use Basketball to mentor youth in Body, Mind & Spirit.
