#Morethanbasketball

more than basketball

EPIC is so much more than a basketball program. Although we take the game very seriously, the primary focus for EPIC is to rid the Fox Valley of poverty! This is both in terms of finances and mindset. Players are exposed to various experiences and challenged to develop real life skills (planning, budgeting, interviewing, etc.) to be successful young men OTC (off the court) as well as on it.

What We Do

EPIC challenges youth to evolve in their
faith, athletics and academics.

On the court

Off the CourT

Events

We are a highly competitive basketball program built on the foundational principles of faith, leadership and athletics, which empowers youth to develop skills to be successful on-the-court and off-the-court.

"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, conduct, in love, in faith and in purity"

  • This was our first year being a part of the Epic Hoopz "family". We learned early on that the program is just that, a family. The players are taught basketball fundamentals along with leadership and development to empower themselves on and off the court. They encourage community service as the teams donated time to Feed My Starving Children. The coaches exceeded our expectations and served as excellent role models and mentors for our boys. We feel blessed to have found a high level basketball home for our family. It is much more than just basketball.

  • "...What we found in EPIC was an organization that focuses on character development, leadership, self-confidence and positive reinforcement. The foundational values of EPIC build the kids to be great people, not just great basketball players."

  • My son Michael had played organized basketball for about 3 years before playing on the EPIC team. In one season, he learned more skills and work ethic than he ever had. A tremendous thanks and recognition of the level of the EPIC coaches and program. Plus we've taken a group skills session that was phenomenal. Michael's game has drastically improved as has his confidence. On another note, when Michael had to list his largest achievement for a recent school homework assignment, he listed making the EPIC team as #1. The program has had an impact and the story of its origin is really an inspiring one.

  • EPIC has been a great experience for Jimmy. The coaching and instruction have been top notch. The variety of basketball tournaments and the opportunity to participate in high level venues such as the Nationals in Orlando and Memphis are memories for a lifetime. Most importantly the team chemistry and friendliness with the families has also been great. Lastly, from a Parents perspective it is obvious and appreciated that the EPIC staff cares about the kids beyond the Basketball court and is looking out for their future as they progress in Basketball and in Life.

  • My son has been with the EPIC program for the past 2 years. The thing I like best about the EPIC program, is their attention to teaching the fundamentals. This is not just any average AAU program. The coaching at EPIC is incredible. The coaches really care about each player’s improvement and they promote hard work and teamwork. I believe they have really pushed my son to improve his game, and have given him the tools to improve.

    Jamie, 4th grade parent

  • We have been with the program since its inception. We absolutely love the sense of family that we get with the program. The life lesson that our boys have learned are immeasurable. From putting God first, to being the best they can be on and off the court.
