About Pro Hoops Blueprint
Pro Hoops Blueprint (PHB) is a professional basketball and community development organisation led by Coach Shane — Founder & Head Coach, former England International, 12-year professional, NCAA Division I Champion and 9× British Champion.
We use basketball as a practical vehicle to engage people, build confidence, develop skills and create positive pathways.
Our programmes can be delivered as one-off activations, short-term programmes, weekly provision or larger collaborative projects.
What We Can Offer
Each strand can be delivered on its own or combined into a wider programme built around local needs.
Basketball sessions, youth groups, holiday activities and positive activities designed to give young people a safe, active and purposeful environment.
Tailored basketball and engagement programmes for Muslim communities, faith groups and other communities that may be underrepresented in traditional sports provision. Programmes can be shaped around the culture, environment, age group and needs of each community.
Accessible, low-impact basketball for older adults and community groups. Sessions can be adapted to different abilities and environments.
Mentoring informed by Coach Shane's experience in professional sport and player development.
Practical development for community coaches, volunteers and aspiring coaches.
Progressive player-development programmes built around PHB's four pillars. Programmes can be adapted for beginners, developing players, community participants or more experienced players.
Basketball-based events designed to bring people together and create positive, active community experiences.
Who We Can Work With
These are the types of organisations PHB is set up to work alongside.
How We Can Work Together
A standalone session, workshop, community event or basketball experience.
A structured 4–8 week programme targeting a specific community or outcome.
Weekly or regular basketball and community activity.
Practical development and upskilling for staff, volunteers and community coaches.
Work with an organisation to design a larger programme around local priorities, funding opportunities and community needs.
Start with a manageable pilot, review participation and feedback, then develop the programme where there is demand.
Pilot → Develop → Scale
PHB can start with a simple pilot: identify the community you want to reach, agree the outcome you want to achieve, and we will shape a practical programme around it.
We can then review participation, engagement and feedback and develop the programme further where there is demand and impact.
Why PHB
PHB combines high-level basketball experience with practical community delivery.
The aim isn't simply to deliver basketball sessions. We use basketball as a vehicle to create opportunities for participation, confidence, connection, development and progression.
Coach Shane brings professional playing experience, coaching experience and a strong understanding of player and personal development.
Outcomes Our Programmes Support
Connect with people who may not currently participate in traditional sport.
Build physical, social, personal and coaching skills.
Give participants greater confidence, ownership and opportunity.
Use positive sporting experiences to encourage longer-term participation and progression.
These are the areas our programmes are designed to support.
If your organisation is looking to engage a particular community, increase physical activity, develop young people, support older adults, upskill coaches or create a new basketball opportunity, PHB can work with you to develop the right format.
