About Planet Hoops

In 1993, Calvin Murphy, former guard for the Houston Rockets, overcame all odds to became the shortest NBA player inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Today he demonstrates his renowned defensive moves and free-throw shooting skills as the owner and instructor at Planet Hoops, a training facility dedicated to youth basketball. Girls and boys of all skill levels can master the fundamentals at the center’s basketball school, and the 4-week itty bitty basketball program accommodates 3-4 years olds with lowered basketball hoops and color commentary from Big Bird. Planet Hoops also hosts camps and clinics thoughout the year, and offers private lessons for individuals and small groups.
