Founder
Pro Hoops Blueprint was founded by Coach Shane, a former professional basketball player, England international and NCAA Division I Champion.
Across more than a decade in professional basketball, Shane experienced the discipline, resilience, teamwork and leadership required to perform at the highest level.
PHB was created to take those lessons beyond the basketball court.
Today, PHB uses basketball and sport to help young people develop confidence, skills and positive aspirations while creating meaningful opportunities within communities.

Health Activity and Wellbeing Leader
“My child can sometimes struggle when attending new sessions where he may not know anyone. However, Coach Shane, the team and the other players made him feel so comfortable and welcome from the moment he arrived. Their kindness, encouragement and inclusivity really helped him settle in, and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience.”
