Luka Dončić Foundation

Play changes lives 🏀 ⚽ 🎨.

[Luka Dončić Foundation @LD77Foundation]

Playing basketball should be joyful and fun.

This All-Star weekend, the Luka Dončić Foundation brought that feeling back. Our first Total Hoops clinic gave kids the space to try, laugh, create, and fall in love with basketball without the pressure.

Total Hoops is our blueprint for youth basketball. A curriculum built on research, rooted in joy, and designed to develop great kids, not just great athletes.

We are grateful for the support of @jrnba, @searchinstitute, Boys and Girls Club, LA's BEST, and all the coaches and young athletes who made our first clinic special.

Last Friday, in the middle of All-Star weekend, something special happened.🏀✨

We brought 100 kids and 10 coaches together to learn, to play, and to be themselves at our very first Total Hoops Clinic.

Total Hoops is about developing young athletes and young people. Yes, teaching the fundamentals matters. But so does joy. So does confidence. So does making sure a kid feels encouraged when they walk onto the court, and that they carry that feeling with them when they leave.

We’re deeply grateful to the partners who helped see our vision and make this first test run possible: @jrnba, @SearchInstitute, Boys & Girls Club, and @LAsBEST

Such a fun afternoon piloting our Total Hoops curriculum with @jrnba! A huge thanks to @SearchInstitute, @LAsBEST, Boys & Girls Clubs of America Los Angeles and all the coaches and young athletes who made this a huge success!
