Director of Pro Shot
"Theres a ton of recruiting websites, you know this quite well. Most just publicize players and really don't have any hands on regarding the development on that player. What if Middle School Elite did showcase camps where the most important aspect is improving that player (guard camp, shooting camp)"- Paul Hoover. We think it's a great idea!
Paul Hoover is considered one of the premiere shooting coaches in the United States. Coach Hoover, founder and director of Pro Shot Shooting System, has guided hundreds of collegiate and professional players in the art of shooting.

"My shooting camps are the best. Every camp I put on I have a handful of players who have been to well know camps/clinics hosted by shooting coaches and trainers. I ask them...at the end of each camp tell me what camp is better...I have NEVER had one camper say the other camp is better", Hoover told me.
