Founder

From Professional Basketball to Developing the Next Generation

Founder & Head Coach

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.

How we work

A four-step delivery method

  1. 01

    Understand your needs

    We start with your objectives, cohort, venue, timescales and reporting needs — not a fixed package.

  2. 02

    Design the programme

    Sessions are planned around age, ability and the outcomes you are accountable for.

  3. 03

    Deliver with structure

    Every session has a plan: warm-up, skill focus, applied game, and reflection.

  4. 04

    Report and review

    Attendance, participation and feedback are captured so you can evidence impact.
