Frequently asked questions
What program does Fun2Hoop offer?
Fun2Hoop currently offers one main program which is the Tune-Up Series.
It is an 8-week skill-development program for players ages 7–15. Each session focuses on basketball fundamentals, confidence-building, and game awareness through structured drills and progressive skill work.
Our goal is to help every player, whether new to the game or preparing for competitive play, build a strong foundation while having fun and learning to love the process.
Who is the program for?
The Fun2Hoop Tune-Up Series is designed for players ages 7–15 who want to build or strengthen their basketball foundation. It’s perfect for beginners learning the basics, as well as returning players preparing for school teams or looking to sharpen their skills in a structured, supportive environment.
Every player trains at their own pace while developing discipline, teamwork, and confidence through fundamental, game-focused learning.
Where are the Tune-Up Series sessions held?
Sessions are held at the Southside Community Center in Ithaca.

Tune-Up Series: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7:00 PM – 8:15 PM.
Can we sign up for just one day per week in the Tune-Up Series?
Yes, we’re flexible. While both days are encouraged, players can opt for one day per week if needed.
How much does it cost?
Tune-Up Series: $225 for the full 8-week program (16 classes).
Is the Tune-Up Series a league with games?
No, this program is not a league.
It is development-focused, designed to improve skills, confidence, and game IQ.
Is the Tune-Up Series for boys or girls?
It is co-ed and welcome to all youth interested in learning or improving their basketball skills.
What does a typical Tune-Up Series session look like?
Tune-Up Series: Warm-ups, skill stations, defensive & offensive concepts, court awareness, basketball-specific conditioning, and mindset work.
What if my child misses a Tune-Up Series session?
We understand that life happens, but makeup sessions are not guaranteed, and we do not offer refunds for missed classes.
Can parents watch?
Yes! Parents are welcome and encouraged to watch, as long as space allows. The Southside gym has limited seating, so we ask for understanding if it gets crowded. If your child feels more comfortable focusing without a parent present, we kindly ask that you support their preference.
What should players bring?
A water bottle, clean indoor basketball shoes, and a great attitude!
Who leads the program?
The program is led by Coach Marco. See the "About Us" page on the website.
