About Us

HoopStar Academy has been serving it’s East Texas community for 10 years now. We have well-over 10,000 + hours of experience in skill acquisition; specializing in year-round, high-level skill performance training.

Our mission is to “Take Care of the Dreams”.

We believe work and intention drive the progression of any player. D’Marcus, owner and lead trainer, has had the opportunity to train 100s of players locally while sending a number of those players to colleges like ETBU, LeTourneau, TJC, and more! We simplify your path to success by using our 90 credit system to see where you are on your journey and where your HoopStar graduation should be. In 2017, we collaborated with world renowned skills leader, Micah Lancaster, to enhance our community’s journey to success on all competitive levels. Those who have maximized our program have had the discipline to show up with the mindset that work is part of the recipe of success, and not the optional alternative. 

 

Great program no matter the skill level. We joined Hoopstar Academy to polish up on some things before league ball and it definitely improved my son’s game. We really loved the small classes and great instruction from D’Marcus and his team. Highly recommend.

My two grandsons, ages 15 and 11, love going to here for lessons. I have watched and looks very well organized, while teaching variety of basketball skills.

My daughter has now been with HoopStar Academy for 3 years. The training and attention to detail for ball handling and specific basketball movements are second to none! Best decision and investment I ever made for my daughter’s basketball future. Hard to put into words the amount of respect and admiration my family feels towards D’Marcus. From day 1, whatever he said he will do, he does. The most reliable trainer and genuine person in the business. D’Marcus has even come to numerous of my daughter’s games to take notes so he can tailor her future workouts to what he feels her weaknesses are. Any basketball trainer can put an athlete through a traditional “sweat workout”, but this program is built different. It not only gives the athlete the tools and skills to unlock their full potential, but let’s them know why they are doing it. I’ve watched this program grow year by year, and it’s just getting started. Best is yet to come! We will continue to be a part of HoopStar until the end of my daughter’s basketball career. Just know that this program works if the athlete and parent will commit to the process. With dedication and consistency, you will see a difference in your athletes performance and overall confidence on the court. Try it out, I think you’ll be impressed!
