HOOP SKILLS ACADEMY
About Us
Our Mission
HoopSkills Basketball Academy, we believe greatness is built—not born. Through intentional, high-level training, we mold both mind and muscle, developing athletes who are as strong in integrity as they are in skill. Every session is a lesson in discipline, every drill a test of will. What begins with basketball becomes a blueprint for life, where grit, growth, and character carry the game far beyond the court.
Meet the Founder & Head Trainer
From the blacktops of Jamaica, Queens to pro courts overseas, Coach Dwayne’s journey is built on grit, faith, and a lifelong love for basketball.
After earning All-Conference and Player of the Year honors in college, Dwayne played professionally across the world - from Argentina to Qatar - gaining a global perspective on the game.
His passion for teaching the next generation began in 2015 at Hoop Mountain Kuwait, where he discovered his purpose: developing players in skill, discipline, and character.
In 2021, he founded Hoop Skills Academy in Hallandale Beach, growing it from local park sessions to a full academy dedicated to building complete athletes — sharp in skill, strong in faith, and relentless in work ethic.
