How much does training cost?

Every session is completely free. Next Wave Hoops is a nonprofit, and donations cover equipment and coaching time so cost is never a barrier.

What ages do you train?

Grades K through 11. Sessions are tailored by age: Fundamentals (K-4), Advanced Skills (5-9), and Game IQ (9-11).

Where do sessions take place?

Across the Bellevue area, including Tyee Middle School, Forest Glenn Neighborhood Park, Newport Heights Elementary, and other local courts.

How do I book a session?

Create a free account, then pick an open time on our booking calendar. You can manage your sessions any time from your account.

Do you offer group sessions?

Yes. Group Training runs the same personalized, skill-focused work with a small group of friends, teammates, or siblings, and is open to all ages.

What should my child bring?

Athletic clothes, court shoes, a water bottle, and a basketball if they have one. We can provide a ball if needed.

How are coaches vetted?

Every coach is experienced in basketball and completes training plus a skills assessment before working with athletes, so every session stays high-quality.

Can I reschedule a session?

Yes. Manage your upcoming sessions from your account, or reach out and we will help you find a new time.
