Hustle Region Preview: Hardwork Dedication
We may be in the middle of high school basketball season but it’s not too early to look ahead to what’s coming up on the AAU circuit. Over the next few months we will be taking a look at the teams that will be participating in the PrepHoops Circuit Hustle Region and here’s a look at Hardwork Dedication Basketball out of Nevada.
Hardwork Dedication Basketball will have teams in the 17U, 16U, and 15U divisions of the Hustle Region and will be participating in the #HustleSzn Kickoff, Bash in the Desert, Hustle in the Sun, and the Hustle Region Finals.
Here’s a transcript of a conversation we had with Hardwork Dedication Basketball director Kei Childress.
Why did you start your program? How long have you been around?
We originally started Hardwork Dedication Basketball in 2015. Why started to give on our side of town an opportunity to play club basketball who could not afford to play for the more expensive programs that were available at the time.
What is the goal of your program for 2019?
Our goal is to continue to learn to compete at a very high level. We have challenged our kids more and more each year and we are going to continue to raise the stakes and challenge them to achieve our goals.
What is your program’s mission each year?
The mission of the program is to help these young men become the best version of themselves on and off the court. In, addition we want to get our seniors off to a college campus!
Do you know of any players that will be back in your program this year? Who should we have our eye on?

Why did you choose the Prep Hoops Circuit?
We chose the Prep Hoops Circuit because of the excellent coverage and exposure they can provide for the players. We also chose the Prep Hoops Circuit so that we can assure that our players will be challenged and pushed in every tournament.
