Do you take friend requests?
We love that our athletes want to attend Hoop Dreams with their friends and teammates. We can guarantee that your athlete will be placed in a cabin with at least one friend if the friends are within one year of age. We can accommodate up to 12 athletes in a cabin.
Note: On-court friend requests will depend on the breakdown of athletes and their skill levels. In our effort to create a challenging game experience through well-balanced teams, we cannot guarantee friend requests on the court. But we will try our best.
During registration, there is a place to identify friend requests. If you need to add friends after registration, give us a call in the office and we can update your profile.
