Hoop Lab — Local services in Howell Township

Let me paint the picture…10 year old son wants to play basketball…first time. I was raised on basketball as a kid, but not very skilled…loved the game though and the 80’s and 90’s game drew me in like the ghost drawing that little girl into the tv in poltergeist. Since the evolution of the game and the players becoming more and more like cry babies, i backed away.

Once he told me that though; I knew I was going to have to lead him…so I started watching again…as we would watch more games to together, he became more involved and we signed him up..the boy went outside everyday by himself to work on his dribbling. He would spend an hour or two outside every day..just teaching himself…

As i coached I would hold many practices just going over dribbling and fundamental stuff..footwork, passing..defense…

As he got older he needed more..my basic dribble around cones and speed shifts and other things were no longer enough…add that with his low confidence and his mind growing, it was a making for a player who was unsure of himself…

I found Mr.Leach and Mr. Linton by chance..as I would follow others who would be teaching me what to teach my teams, I stumbled upon them…

And let me tell you…I AM SO THANKFUL THAT I DID…in only 3 MONTHS… THREE MONTHS of working with them my son has already improved dramatically!!!

His handles and his finishing at the rim have improved exponentially as well!!!

He comes home and works a bit (not as much as i would like) but hes out there practicing what he learns…

I am thankful that i have found these two gentlemen when I did because I may have lost a player to low confidence…

If you’re questioning whether or not you should enroll your child with these two men..the answer should be yes!!!

I cannot speak for others but I have also seen him work with other players that are amazing also.

My thanks to you and Mr. Linton for helping my...

Hoop Lab is truly a game-changer for basketball training! My son, now a junior in high school, has been training with Zach Leach and his incredible team since the day they opened. The transformation we've seen in his skills and confidence on the court is nothing short of amazing.

What sets Hoop Lab apart is the genuine, family-like atmosphere Zach and the team create. They take a vested interest in every player's growth, no matter their skill level, and their dedication to refining each athlete's potential is unparalleled. From ball-handling and shooting to in-game strategy, they focus on professional-level skills that make a real difference. My son’s school program has benefited immensely from his time at Hoop Lab, and I have no doubt that any player who trains here will see the same impact.

The variety of training options is fantastic—one-on-one sessions, small group classes, open runs, and even 3v3 tournaments. My son loves the balance of personalized coaching and competitive gameplay. These opportunities not only build skills but also foster teamwork and confidence under pressure.

Hoop Lab isn't just a training facility; it’s a place where competitive athletes are built and lifelong lessons are learned. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, this is the place to take your game to the next level. Thank you, Zach, and the entire Hoop Lab team for everything you've done for my son and countless other athletes. Highly...

Transformational Training at Hoop Lab! My two boys have been training with Zach Leach at Hoop Lab in Freehold for over two years, and the progress they’ve made has been incredible. Zach has a unique ability to identify and target the weaknesses in each player’s game, turning them into strengths through focused, personalized training. He doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach — he customizes his coaching based on what each athlete truly needs to grow. Whether it’s ball handling, shooting, footwork, or decision-making, Zach zeroes in on those areas and builds them up with intention and intensity. My kids not only enjoy going to Hoop Lab, but they’ve also gained real confidence on the court because of the work they’ve done with Zach.
