Description:
United Hoops America L.L.C. (UHoopsA) is dedicated to providing competitive basketball leagues in every major metropolitan area in the country. The league will cater to individuals who wish to form their own teams as well as corporate teams from surrounding areas. The unique aspect behind this is that it gives the opportunity to set up individual franchises around the country. Each league/franchise will be named after the city that it was established in, giving a sense of pride and ownership within it teams and membership. Each franchise will operate under its own legs and offer basketball leagues Monday through Friday for a 2 month season including playoffs. 6 seasons in total throughout the year. There is no limit to how many leagues are ran on a single day. For example, a Monday night league with 8 teams playing 4 games that night could have another Monday night league playing at the same time in the same facility. The website will offer team stats, individual stats, video highlights of that nights performance, a breakdown of every team's roster that includes a player's picture and physical attributes, and many opportunities for local and national sponsorships to take advantage of the numerous sponsorship possibilities within the site as well as at the games themselves. For example, a local company may sponsor Tuesday nights game from the website. Every time a team logs on to check their individual stats, the sponsors logo appears next to the stats and is clickable. The same goes for sponsoring the "Scoreboard" page which offers current scores and video highlights of previous performances.

The ultimate goal of the league is to:

Start up a successful league in one major city that offers all levels of play (youth to semi-pro) and then branch out to other major cities that has a large basketball following.

Have each league/franchise operate in its own facility that offers league play, areas for individuals, collegiate athletes, and professionals to practice and improve their performance.

Offer memberships for open play and practice Monday-Sunday for non league players.

Establish franchises in every major city.

Eventually Have each franchise connected. For example, Having the best team out of the Denver franchise play the best team out of the Los Angeles franchise and so on and so on until the best team in the country is determined.

It has taken me 6 years to get to this point of the process and I am so excited of what's to come! Everything is ready to go. There is a lot of potential here and I believe it is going to be a great success. I am very passionate about this. I would love to explain more about this through text but spoken word is the way to go. This concept will succeed and I cant wait until this is in every major city in America! I just need to get the ball rolling. Thanks for listening.
