About Us

Here's How We're Different from Other Basketball Organizations:​

1.  Philosophy on Learning and Development: At High Perception Hoops, we prioritize understanding basketball concepts before mastering techniques. This ensures young athletes not only learn the mechanics but also how to apply these skills effectively in games.
    
2.  Customized Training:  Our training methods are customized to fit each athlete's unique physiology, encouraging them to discover effective movement solutions. This individualized approach fosters personal growth and skill application.
    
3.  Positive Coaching Environment: The focus on coaching with positivity is designed to build confidence and foster a love for the game. This nurturing environment helps young players develop both their skills and self-esteem in a supportive and encouraging setting.
    
4.  Dynamic Learning through Play: High Perception Hoops utilizes a game-based learning strategy that makes sessions fun and engaging while also practical and educational. This method encourages active participation and enjoyment, crucial for sustained engagement and improvement in young athletes.
    
5.  Community and Team Spirit: The organization promotes a sense of community and team spirit, essential components that enhance the overall learning experience and enjoyment for participants. This community-centric approach also supports sportsmanship and personal connections among players.
    
6.  Expert Leadership: Guided by Head Coach Ben Chase, a former NCAA Academic All-American with over a decade of coaching experience at the Division 1 level, High Perception Hoops benefits from his extensive knowledge and expertise. Coach Chase brings a wealth of practical insights and proven strategies to the program, significantly enhancing the training quality and effectiveness for all participants. With this added dimension of experienced leadership, High Perception Hoops offers a comprehensive and professional approach to youth basketball training that is hard to match.
    ​

These elements combine to create a unique and enriching experience at High Perception Hoops, making it an appealing choice for parents and young athletes seeking a comprehensive and fulfilling youth basketball training program.

HPH Playmaker Training

Playmaker Training is the alternative to AAU. Our model focuses on teaching concepts first, and technique second. We help novice and developing basketball players understand how to play the game, and then help them develop techniques (shooting, passing, ball handling) that work with their unique physiology. Every player is different, and in HPH Playmaker Training, we help our athletes develop the skills that work for them. We play lots of games, encourage learning through mistakes and create a fun environment intended to kindle a love for the game. Our athletes not only develop the skills needed to succeed on the court, but the understanding of how to use those skills in live gameplay. Join High Perception Hoops for top-notch youth basketball training in Massachusetts.

I have been so fortunate to work with some of the best minds in the game throughout my basketball career. They showed me there’s a better way to train that helps athletes both develop faster AND have a more fun, enjoyable experience while they do it. High Perception Hoops was founded to offer this better athletic experience to basketball players seeking to unlock their full potential.
