About Us

Press Forward Hoops (PFH) is a not-for-profit developmental organization offering free, quality skills and drills training to youth ages 12-17 in and around the city of Philadelphia.  PFH strives to create a fun and energetic environment where youth can learn and grow with basketball training tailored to their skill level. With one-on-one drills, our coaches work on enhancing strengths and improving weaknesses. Our program focuses on skill and character development for on-court and off-court success.  PFH reshapes the fundamentals of the game while emphasizing the importance of teamwork, academics, leadership, and goal setting. 

PFH is operated by a group of energetic leaders looking to provide opportunities for youth to play organized basketball without the expense.  Our program allows youth to work with former collegiate athletes who come with much experience and from various backgrounds.  Our coaches want to build a platform for the future leaders to become successful in every aspect of life.  PFH offers interactive off-court sessions focused on college support, career exploration, time management, as well as health and wellness.

“Using the sport of basketball, our goal is to build character and teach valuable life lessons.”
