Does Hoop Code offer any discounts on your memberships?
Yes. We do provide sibling discount when multiple players from the same family are participating at the same time.
We also have a “Membership Adjustment Form” which all families are eligible for. It’s a brief form to adjust your monthly payment to the cost you can afford for your athletes. Hoop Code Basketball Academy promotes a “No Athlete Left Behind” Clause. We understand families have multiple kids and play multiple sports. This allows all athletes to still participate in our academy at an affordable rate.
