How does the Program work?

Hoopbus PE Takeovers consist of two parts: a workshop and an assembly. The workshop component is for up to eighty students and is a rotational, station-based, hands-on approach to discovering the game. No prior skill or experience is required. Each station is modular, adjusted to age level, and focuses on one of the four key pillars. The stations encourage movement, artistic and personal expression, confidence, and teamwork.

The assembly component is a performative and interactive show optimal for bringing energy and excitement to an entire school. Tell your teachers and students to bring their A-Game as they take on the challenge of beating the undefeated Team Hoopbus

FAQs

  • Hoopbus offers the PE Takeover to schools at both a no-cost and paid model. Our no-cost model is a need-based impact program deeply engrained in our service mission and is powered by the support of generous donors and foundational grant-makers. Our paid model supports all program costs for up to five hours of programming at a rate of $2,500.

  • Our team selects on a need-based criteria evaluated by a Hoopbus programs coordinator. If a school is within our program’s key cities and can’t afford a paid model, we try our best to find a way to get there, though it sometimes takes a bit longer.

  • Yes! We’d regularly hear from schools the testimony that an upcoming visit from the Hoopbus resulted in higher attendance and better behavior as it was treated as an incentive. Teacher’s would ask “how do we get you to come back?”


    As a result, we developed a curriculum and lesson plans for both recurring PE takeovers and a 10 week mentorship program!

  • Hoopbus employs a team of trained ambassadors composed of locally based basketball players, entertainers, coaches, and artists to run the program. Our team is made up of professional joy spreaders who understand how to work with kids. All staff are vetted and run through background checks which search criminal database history and sex-offender registry.

    1. Space: either indoor in a gym or outdoor on a basketball court with site access for the bus.

    2. Coordination: a staff member to work with our event coordinators to line up the program around your schools schedule, and complete paperwork.

    3. Teachers: to ensure student safety, teacher supervision over students is required.

  • Our schedule is built custom to your school’s bell schedule. The workshop component is between 60-90 minutes per session, with an optimal time of 75 minutes. The assembly component is between 50 - 80 minutes, with an optimal time of 75 minutes.

    Our paid model supports up to five cumulative hours, while our no-cost model ranges based on the number of schools we are servicing in a single day, though 2-3 hours is the most common.

  • On top of the PE Takeover, we offer recurring basketball classes, a 10 week mentorship program with a core-curriculum, and we can refurbish and mural your basketball court!

    We’ve also hosted pep-rally’s, fundraiser and celebrity games, after-school programs, school fairs, and more - if you have a creative idea for your school don’t hesitate to ask!
