History

Established in 2005.

In the 2004, brothers Olatunde and Oladele Sobomehin channeled their love for basketball and coaching to create a training organization for boys and girls that would infect them with a hunger to develop character, and push themselves to maximize their athletic potential. At first, this inspired coaching was through summer basketball camps, where together with Stanford Basketball standout, Matt Lottich, they helped to run the high-​energy, youth basketball camp, Matt Lottich Life Skills. In 2012, MLLS became TEAM Life Skills (TLS) Basketball Camp, and this year, 2015, the camps are now Team Esface Hoop Camp.

Since the founding, Team Esface has fulfilled their mission through AAU clubs, clinics, individual training, and leagues. The Team Esface Hoop Camp brings all of this training philosophy to combine structured basketball instruction with valuable character lessons and helps campers become better basketball players and stronger individuals.
