About Us
Fun2Hoop was created to fill a major gap in youth basketball by offering two unique programs that meet kids where they are—whether they’re picking up a ball for the first time or preparing for competitive tryouts. Our Juniors Program (ages 5–11) introduces young players to the game in a fun, pressure-free environment that focuses on movement, fundamentals, and building confidence. Our Tune-Up Series (ages 12–17) is designed for older players who want to clean up their skills, break bad habits, and get ready to compete at the next level.

Meet Mr. Marco
Hi, I’m Marco Volcy. My students call me Mr. Marco and my players call me Coach Marco. I created Fun2Hoop to give kids a space where they can truly learn the game, build confidence, and enjoy the process every step of the way. I'm a former professional basketball player, educator, and passionate youth mentor. I'm also a recording artist and music producer (marcovolcy.com). As a former college and professional basketball player, I know how important it is to build a strong foundation early. That’s why our program focuses on fundamentals, smart habits, and self-belief—not just competition or quick results. For many parents, finding the right resources can feel overwhelming. My goal is to make that easier by creating a program that’s supportive, structured, and fun—where every child feels seen and has the chance to grow. If you're looking for a place where your child can learn the game the right way and walk away more confident every time they step on the court, you’re in the right place. Welcome to Fun2Hoop! Mr. Marco #together
