A basketball performance enhancement program (B-PEP) designed to teach basic and advanced basketball skills and techniques to Junior High, High School and College Athletes.

B-PEP is designed to teach not only the basic and advanced fundamentals of basketball, but also to instill positive attitudes such as the importance of acquiring a good education and the necessity of accepting moral responsibilities into one's life.

The philosophy of B-PEP founder and Harlem Globetrotter, the late Billy Ray Hobley, was, "It's just not enough being a great athlete, you must learn how to be a good person." This philosophy will help young and old alike understand that they have a responsibility not only to themselves, but to others as well.

B-PEP will help you to become a well-rounded player on the court and a well-rounded person in life.

B-PEP will help you hone and refine the skills, techniques and the mental attitude needed to excel in the game of basketball.
