Raving Fans

“Outstanding basketball is a fantastic organization for young people. A high priority in teaching fundamentals is the cornerstone of the organization. Practice time is organized to build the foundation in each player with all the essential skills to improve the player\'s overall basketball skills. Coach Hull does a great job to break down the game into the basic elements, then combines these basics to develop each player\'s overall game, and to incorporate each player into the team game. In addition, Coach Hull works to develop character in each player, whether they are a youth or a teenager. Sportsmanship, class, and character are emphasized throughout each camp, individual session, practice or game. We feel blessed that our daughter is involved with Outstanding Basketball and to be coached by Gary Hull.”
