Hoop Habits, Minnesota’s premier basketball training facility, marks a year of transformative impact on Minnesota basketball.

EDINA, MN, UNITED STATES, February 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hoop Habits, Minnesota’s premier basketball training facility, is celebrating its first anniversary, marking a year of transformative impact on Minnesota basketball. Founded by former professional player Anthony Tucker, Hoop Habits has quickly become a leader in athlete development, combining elite training, mindset coaching, nutrition, recovery, and game application to create a holistic approach that prepares players for the next level.

Since opening its doors in 2024, Hoop Habits has redefined player development in Minnesota, bridging the gap between high-level skill training and game-focused application. Under Tucker’s leadership, the facility has trained athletes, including those with NBA aspirations, at all levels. It has built a coaching staff featuring former NBA players, Division 1 coaches, and seasoned professionals.

“We built Hoop Habits to develop not just skilled players, but well-rounded athletes who are prepared for every aspect of the game—mentally and physically,” said Anthony Tucker, founder of Hoop Habits. “This anniversary is a celebration of the hard work and commitment of our athletes, coaches, and the greater basketball community that has supported us along the way.”

Raising the Profile of Minnesota Basketball
One of the most significant milestones in Hoop Habits’ first year has been the launch of Hoop Habits Elite, which places players on New Balance’s P32 national circuit, providing exposure and high-level competition. With an emphasis on game readiness and strategic development, Hoop Habits has positioned itself as a premier training destination for athletes looking to take their game to the next level.

Anniversary Celebration & Skills Challenge Media Event
To commemorate this milestone, Hoop Habits will host a Skills Challenge on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, at its training facility in Edina, MN. The event will bring together athletes, trainers, and community members to celebrate a year of growth and impact.
