The Neighborhood Basketball Program by Coach, John Garwood @ the Hoop HQ.
This is a special program the Hoop HQ and Coach John Garwood are working together on. Due to the construction at the Mira Mesa facility, we want to open our Hoop HQ home and doors to the players of Coach Garwood.
Coach Garwood and our team of coaches have a LONG history together. Our team of coaches were once players of Coach Garwood when they were kids just like yours, and today we are proud and honored to continue sharing coach Garwood's knowledge and basketball teachings at the Hoop HQ facility.
We truly believe that by working together we can enable a new level of basketball growth for our students and players from both communities along with exceling and developing new ideas, competition and learning opportunities for everyone.

Coach, John Garwood
Coach Garwood has inspired hope, talent, growth, unity and compassion around all the people he has touched and worked with for over 30 years! His experience with the Neighborhood Basketball Program for the past 25 years has helped numerous kids grown to be amazing people, athletes and top professionals.
Over the years under John’s Neighborhood Basketball Program, numerous young kids go on to play very high levels of basketball. One recent mention, Ricardo Hopping played for Azusa Pacific University (2017-2020), Hopping was named the 2018 All-Palomar League first team. Another growth from John’s program was Kemie Nkele who played for UC Riverside. During the 2008-2009 season, she took the school women’s team to their first NCAA Basketball Tournament appearance. Kemie graduated and went on to play professionally for the OA Hanai Women’s team in Greece. She continued her passion through coaching at Idaho State University.
Last but not least, Coach Garwood also coached our Hoop HQ, head coaches Coach Aaron and Coach Noel during their youth playing periods. As coach Garwood would say,
"Everything I do for the kids is for their survival"
