What We Do

Limelight Hoops is connected to a broad international basketball network all over the world. The high level of talent, character, and work-ethic of our clients has helped Limelight Hoops to build an impressive list of clients in international basketball, and in turn has helped us develop tremendous relationships with many European top level teams based on our credibility and integrity.

As former professional players we know what our clients are going through, it gives us a better understanding and an edge over most other agencies. We build personal and trusting relationships with our clients that extend beyond the basketball court. More importantly, we pride ourselves on being honest and straightforward with our clients in good and possible bad times.

Our players can focus entirely on playing basketball while Limelight Hoops guides them on all their career decisions based on our experience, knowledge and contacts.

CAREER MANAGEMENT & BASKETBALL REPRESENTATION

We help our young talents to reach the top of their abilities and also develop their character so that they can not only cope with the sporting demands, but also with the mental, media and social challenges in professional sports. Limelight Hoops supports their clients to make the right career decisions. We will plan your career with you, not for you.

MARKETING

We actively investigate advertisement opportunities for our clients that are suitable to the current stage of their basketball careers.

LEGAL ADVICE & CONTRACT NEGOTIATION

We have the legal expertise which is needed in the international basketball environment to negotiate and draft the contracts of our clients according to the highest possible standards. We do support our clients in all kinds of legal disputes by giving them legal advice, representing them in mediation and arbitration proceedings.
