2025 / Coaching Staff
Great teachers are the backbone of basketball development, shaping players not just in skill but in mindset, IQ & overall approach to the game. The best coaches don’t just instruct—they inspire, challenge & elevate every athlete they work with. At Shooting Hoops, our primary mission is to bring together the best teachers in the country each summer, creating an elite learning environment where players can grow through expert instruction & hands-on skill development. We believe that who you learn from matters & that’s why we are committed to assembling a coaching staff of Ireland’s most experienced, hard working & passionate mentors, who lead by example. Ensuring that every athlete gets the tools, knowledge & confidence to take their game to the next level.
More staff announcements coming soon!
CAMPER WELFARE
At Ireland’s #1 basketball camp, we believe that true player development goes beyond skill work - it’s about nurturing the whole athlete. Our residential, week-long summer camp provides a structured, disciplined basketball experience while prioritizing camper well-being. With expert coaching, introduction to strength & conditioning, sport psychology workshops & competitive play, we push athletes to reach their full potential — while ensuring they feel supported, motivated, & empowered.
We are committed to continuous improvement, listening & learning, it's what sets us apart. By fostering a positive, high-performance environment, we are proud of our space that allows campers to thrive both on & off the court. We believe when players feel valued, their game & their confidence, soars.

REPS & STEPS
Welcome to our online squad — where next level handles & footwork meet unstoppable energy!
More than a basketball training program; it’s a community for those ready for a high-energy, intense experience designed to sharpen your ballhandling skills anytime, anywhere. No gym required. Whether you’re training in your living room or on a small court, you'll refine ball control, improve shiftiness, boost your speed & build elite confidence on the court.
We offer 2 live, 20 minute sessions each week - Wednesday & Sunday - to two different skill levels. Ballhandling & footwork are dynamic cornerstones of the game of basketball, that transcend age, all are welcome. It is a skill that needs to be crafted & mastered, consistently & continuously.
Our intention is to use the power of community to create a diverse squad of hoopers, who will train hard, vibe harder & take ownership of the work that needs to be done to level up. It’s simply you vs. you. No comparisons - just your race, your grind & your next level. One rep at a time.
Join the movement. Feel the good vibes. Own your game. Why Not?
From the moment athletes arrive at Kilkenny College, there’s a buzz in the air - new friendships, high standards and a shared love of the game.
Days are built around focused development sessions, competitive games that matter and honest coaching that pushes players to raise their level. Evenings foster connection, independence and confidence that lasts beyond the court.
Shooting Hoops is for players who care deeply about the game - whether they’re chasing the next level or simply chasing their best.
This is where players grow - in the game and beyond it.
