Lone Star Hoops was originally known as "Lone Star Camps for Basketball Basics" and was founded in 1988, by Jan Jernberg, with a single camp in the south central region of the state.  The name was officially changed to Lone Star Hoops in l993 and the camp was incorporated in l998.  In the past twenty two years, the program has organized, promoted and implemented over 225 full-day camps for boys and girls currently in the 2nd grade, up through those currently in 8^th grade.  These LSH camps hosted over 1900 campers last summer in fundamental and technical basketball skill-work at thirteen different campsites throughout the state of Texas.   These future players had the opportunity to participate in a state-of-the-art "big-time camp at a small-time price".  Our primary motive has always been to present the game as an energetic, upbeat, cutting-edge experience, full of fun, incentives and competition--with emphasis on the proper approach to the skills necessary to play the "greatest game in the world".  Our best source of publicity has always been the word-of-mouth of satisfied campers and parents who have witnessed first-hand the exciting and special dynamics of the Lone Star Hoops "happening"!  Of course, we have this great website to better emphasize our desire to keep you informed regarding Lone Star Hoops, L.L.C.!

The whole LSH philosophy is built on the premise that "skilled" basketball players are made, not born and the only way to become complete as a player is to not just play the game but to "know" it!

To combine all aspects of development, certain things must be stressed--  repetition, muscle-memory work, building the positive self-esteem, teaching solid technical skills, promoting both individual and team concepts, teaching self-discipline and "putting the FUN in FUNdamentals!!!”  We believe this can be done by offering an elite experience without prohibitive expense.  We employ over 60 people each summer, including head coaches, assistant coaches, collegiates and former players that all share the same level of enthusiasm, energy and knowledge required to be a LSH instructor.  Our goal is simple:  No camper leaves the last day without a heart full of aspirations, a head full of knowledge, a brain full of positive memories, hands full of momentos and a personality built on a foundation of positive reinforcement.  The Lone Star Hoops way has a proven track record and our record of returning campers speaks for itself.   We are about learning the game the RIGHT way and having fun while doing it… it's that simple!
