What's Next for Uptempo Hoops?

The 2012 season comes to a close

UH Family in Reno coming together
What is next for the Uptempo Hoops Family?  The players split up in different directions.  Some focus on CYO while others continue AAU with a different organization until next February.  Still others will play for their schools and some players will continue to train on their own.  Whatever they decide to do, they know that off season can be just as fun.  They will continue to grow together. 

The season flew by.  Maybe because we doubled in size and entered more tournaments.  Maybe because our focus was on Reno and we spent our time prepping for that event.  Maybe...we just didn't want it to end.  I remember information night and meeting new families.  With no time to waste, we launched into UH exclusive conditioning training.  Before we knew it, Reno was upon us and then Rocklin...and then August. 
Just a few of our family members

Just as fast as the season went, the off season will go even faster.  We will have our annual picnic on September 8.  This event is sure to be fun full of eating, playing and socializing.  September 15 we will have another basketball camp where many of our younger players attend while the older players volunteer their time coaching.  We will have Uptempo Nights at college basketball games.  One will be at San Jose State University supporting one of our family members, who will play for Sacramento State, Mikhael McKinney.  More Uptempo Nights are planned to support our Coach JP Peterson, head coach for Ohlone College, Fremont.  There are many more activities planned for the Uptempo Hoops Family.  The UH Board will continue to meet and plan off season activities, as well as activities already in work for 2013.  We are excited.  The next few months hold so much for UH.  The next year, even more events are planned for the UH Family.
