OUR SKILL TRAINERS ARE CHRIS HYPPA AND TROY DEVRIES

Troy & Chris will be doing 1.5 hour clinics on Saturday’s at our weekend practices. 

Training with Chris Hyppa.

Chris is sought after all over the world! He has run camps all over China and works with professional teams in South Korea. He trains many professional players including Three Time NBA Slam Dunk Champion, Nate Robinson, All Time NCAA Women’s Scorer and 2017 WNBA #1 pick, Kelsey Plum (Las Vegas Aces), Avery Bradley (Miami Heat), Quincy Pondexter (NBA), Aaron Brooks (NBA/NY Knicks Assistant Coach), Abdul Gaddy (University of Washington/PRO) former Gonzaga Bulldog Steven Gray (PRO), WNBA players Courtney Vandersloot (Chicago Sky) Alex Montgomery (New York Liberty) & Lindsey Moore (Minnesota Lynx).

He takes great pride in the youth from his hometown. Chris works in conjunction with local YMCA’s, Boy’s and Girl’s Clubs and Recreational Programs to mentor and provide leadership. His passion is evident when you talk with him and watch him conduct workouts.

Hyppa will not only challenge you physically but aims to take your mind to new places. His experiences playing collegiately and semi-professionally along with his ability to connect with players of all types make training with him unique!
