M14 Hoops is a youth basketball development franchise founded by Matt Miller in 2009 in Aurora, Illinois. Headquartered at 2414 Church Road in Aurora, the brand began franchising in 2021.
M14 Hoops provides year-round training programs for young athletes in grades K–12, emphasizing both fundamental skills and advanced techniques.
The franchise sets itself apart by blending “old school” fundamentals with “new school” moves, creating a balanced and effective approach to skill development. This proprietary method allows M14 Hoops to work with athletes of all abilities, from beginners to elite-level players.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
M14 Hoops provides a structured and detailed training program to ensure franchisees and their staff are equipped to operate the business successfully. The franchise offers several layers of training, each targeting different operational needs:
M14 Hoops grants each franchisee a defined operating territory, typically based on geographic and demographic factors, with a population generally up to 300,000.
While franchisees are permitted to operate exclusively within this territory, the rights granted are not exclusive in the strictest sense. Franchisees do not have options or rights of first refusal for additional territories, and M14 Hoops retains significant flexibility in how it manages its brand across territories.
The franchisor explicitly reserves the right to compete in or near franchisee territories through alternate channels such as online sales, national accounts, or other marketing methods.
