All under one roof. HYPE Hoops develops players of all levels — from beginners finding their footing to competitive athletes chasing their next level.
I've had a love for the game, but HYPE has given me a passion to keep playing for every second of every quarter.

HYPE Hoops is a grassroots basketball club based in Red Deer, Alberta. We believe every young athlete deserves access to quality coaching, competitive opportunities, and a team that has their back.
Our community-based model means opportunities are open to everyone — not just past players or the wealthiest. We grow together.
“There is no doubt that HYPE Hoops has already left an incredible mark on women's and youth basketball in Central Alberta.”

Reid grew up in Red Deer with basketball in his blood. After completing a dual degree in Education and Kinesiology, he returned home and identified a gap — Red Deer needed more competitive development opportunities for female players in the fall and spring seasons. HYPE Hoops was his answer.
Today, Reid oversees all aspects of the club — coaching development, player development, financials, and program planning — while continuing to coach in both HYPE Hoops and the local high school and junior high systems, with 20+ seasons of combined experience.
