IT’S GAME TIME WITH HOPE BASKETBALL ACADEMY

A Basketball Trainer For All Levels

My professional experience will allow me to design training sessions specifically for each athlete or group. Hope Basketball Academy creates a Christian environment so athletes can train and learn to be great competitors and people. Early on, I will identify what each athlete is capable of with my goal being to help them reach, then exceed, that potential to get the most out of each workout. All sessions will have a college feel created by the pace and diversity each drill will bring. The drills will be designed to force the athletes to leave their comfort training zones to expedite their development. We strive to have all training sessions mimic the pace of an actual game so each athlete is prepared for competition. I believe athetes of any age can benefit from our training regiment.

In 1994, I entered my freshman year at the University of Richmond. It was there where I earned a Bachelor of Communications degree. Athletically, I earned team and conference honors. My college career culminated with my team winning the 1998 CAA Conference Tournament. I was name the CAA Tournament MVP.Our team earned an NCAA Tournament berth and an upset win over South Carolina.

I graduated from North Dublin High School in 1994. It was in my home town of Faison, NC where I developed the competitive love for the game of basketball. During my high school career I was able to break school records in scoring, assists, steals, and rebounding. This small town is also the place where I learned about Christ and what work ethic could do. It help me earn a scholarship to the University of Richmond.

Daryl L. Oliver Sr

As a follower of Christ, I believe it paramount to not only help young people develop as athletes but more importantly as people. This is the message that has been passed down to me by my parents. Over the past 17years, I have been blessed to coach and train young athletes that have excelled in college and have gone on to play various forms of professional basketball. Many of them have moved on to become successful citizens making a difference in their prospective communities. The common characteristic most great athletes and people share is work ethic. If you have the work ethic to maximize your basketball abilities Hope Basketball Academy can help you improve your game and help position you for basketball success on any level.
