About the Hoop Culture Showcase The Hoop Culture Showcase has become a cornerstone event in the youth basketball community, drawing over 100 teams and 2,500-3,000 players, coaches, and fans each year. Last year’s event was completely sold out, underscoring its growing popularity and reputation as a premier platform for showcasing young talent from across the Southeast region.

FROM THE BOTTOM UP.
Back when it was still just textbook definition, we were first to bring you what it means to be unequivocally part of the Culture. Ten years later, and not only have we changed the apparel game, we may have reinvented the wheel, somehow. Pioneering the many tags that resonates now with your generation : Eat Sleep Ball, Hoop Vibes, This Game Is My Life, Basketball Above All, Ice in My Veins, and plenty more.
What started out, back in 2009, with one kid's ambition, dream, and a single slogan on a graphic t-shirt reading "This Game Is My Life", grew into a global movement thanks to the millions of supporters who've seen us grow on every mainstream social platform.
Hoop Culture is fitted: Basketball Made. Players welcome.
