THE NEXT ERA OF REAL HOOPERZ ONLY
From 2022 through 2025, our program operated as YBA AME Aftermath Elite.
In 2026, we transitioned to Real Hooperz Only to reflect the level we now operate at and the standards we uphold. This change marks a clear separation from recreational structures and a commitment to a more serious, development-driven model of basketball.
Real Hooperz Only is built for athletes who approach the game with discipline, accountability, and long-term intent. Our focus is competitive preparation, player growth, and environments that demand consistency and effort. The name represents who we are today and the direction we are moving forward.

EMAIL COMMUNICATION
Real Hooperz Only uses Google Groups as our official team communication platform.
Google Groups is an organized email system that allows coaches and staff to send updates to the entire team and all families at the same time, ensuring everyone receives accurate and consistent information.
Communication increases significantly during travel weekends, tournament play, and the start of each session.
During these times, schedules can change quickly and updates may be sent in real time.
Because of this, email is our primary and official source of communication.
Text messages and in-person conversations are not reliable for full team updates.

• Weekly practice schedules
• Tournament brackets and game times
• Travel itineraries
• Program announcements
EXPECTATION:
All families are expected to:
• Join their assigned team’s Google Group
• Check email consistently throughout the season
• Stay responsive to time-sensitive updates
Failure to stay connected may result in missed schedules, travel details, or required program information.
