Hoop Group

Hoop Group is a United States basketball camps, clinics, leagues, tournament and recruiting-exposure operator based in Neptune City, New Jersey. Founded in 1963 by Bob Kennedy, it grew from a summer basketball camp into a company offering grassroots programmes for players, coaches and families. Its current portfolio includes Jam Fests exposure tournaments, middle-school events, Hoop Group Headquarters tournaments and leagues, NXT Gen circuits, Elite Camp and Academic Elite Camp. The organisation’s events provide instruction, competition, recruiting education, media coverage and exposure to college coaches; NCAA live-period events require the relevant NCAA and USA Basketball certification. In 2026 it published event, league and camp programmes at its Neptune headquarters and other sites, including academic camps and the NXT Gen Fall Circuit. The current president listed on its official staff page is Rob Kennedy. This record concerns the commercial basketball operator, not USA Basketball, a national federation, a single event or a participating team.
