About Us

HoopStar Academy is a Skill Enhancement Training Program dedicated to year round High Level Skill performance based preparation.

Our training style has served this community for 7+ years with over 10,000+hrs of experience in establishing, developing, and enhancing skill-sets all over the East Texas area.

The mission here is to “Take Care of The Dreams”

Most of us did not have a personal trainer. Most of us did not have an older sibling that went on to play college to model after and get tips from. Most of us did not have a relative that was connected to the NBA or on any professional level . Most of us just had a desire to play, passion to persevere, and a will to continue.

This road will not be simple but we have dedicated ourselves to this craft to make sure your road can be. You can do what you see on ESPN’s top 10. You can make that college team. You can get that scholarship. HoopStar believes you can, with the right plan, work ethic, commitment, and imagination.

No stranger to teaching and developing the owner and lead Trainer D’Marcus started his skill development journey right after high school in 2005 with Don Eddy Basketball Camp as a demonstrator.

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!
