Parent Testimonials

  • "Royalty became a Family! As a parent of a traveling basketball player, last year Royalty gave me (as a parent) the ease of knowing EVERYTHING was taken care of. I just needed to show up with my son and watch him do what he loves to do! Owner Destiny took on all of the up front work in scheduling the tournaments and selecting the hotels in advanced so parents were prepared. A summer schedule was provided in advanced, which made it easy to plan other family events around the tournaments. My son shared with me at the end of the summer that he wished he would have had a summer like he just had with Royalty years ago. He feels he is now much farther along because of the competition, consistency, and coaching staff experience that he was given with Royalty Hoops Etc.

    Kim Barber Smith - Royalty Parent from Summer 2022

  • "After trying out for other programs Royalty was a wonderful change! Cael grew as a player (learning so many new techniques and polishing a few others); established new friends; and now has some great positive role models to help him navigate through the world of basketball. Looking forward to year 2. Cael is #RoyallyBuilt."

    Andie Nevins Halley - Royalty Parent from Summer 2022

  • "Being a first time travel basketball parent, this program was amazing. I was first introduced to the owner, Destiny, by my daughters high school coach. We started off by doing trainings, but we liked Destiny and her mission so much that my daughter decided to try out for the Royalty team. After making the team, we had a parent meeting before the season started that included all of the information that the parents needed for the entire season. We've had several team bonding experiences and the parents all got together as well. We all support and cheer on the kids and teams as a family. We've also done volunteer work as a program which was a great experience for all. The coaching staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. My daughters skills have progressed immensely since starting with Royalty and we cannot imagine going anywhere else for a travel basketball team."

    Cassie Buss - Royalty Parent from Summer 2022

  • “Where do I begin?! This organization is amazing! From the coaches who take time to really learn each kid to help them develop better, to the volunteer work in the community, to the family events they put on. My first year of AAU was not the greatest, very unorganized and their lack of care for children really showed. Switching to Royalty I saw my children’s abilities go through the roof. Royalty is a family on and off the court. All around amazing program! Thank you for all you do for our kids and community, Royalty Hoops. I cannot wait to see what this year holds!

    Sarah Ryburn - Royalty Parent from Summer 2022

  • "The #1 difference in Royalty from every other program my daughter played with is community & love. The coaches truly cared about every player and poured their hearts into their development at practice, in individual & group training opportunities, and at tournaments. I always say summer ball is about development, and Royalty takes that to heart. In addition, they're just GOOD people and fun to be around. My daughter truly loves her coaches & teammates and seeks out time with them. Teams watch & cheer for other Royalty teams throughout the tourneys, meals together, training, & camps together, all of it. It's a community."

    Melissa Seloover - Royalty Parent from Summer 2022

  • "Having 3 children in the program was a challenge, but a weight was lifted knowing schedules and locations in advance. Also, great group of staff and families in the program that have your back during the tough times. Royalty is more than a team, it's a family. All my children are looking forward to another season!"

    Emmia Sykes - Royalty Parent from Summer 2022

  • "Royalty is more than just basketball. It takes groups of kids and turns them into family. They cheer each other on, push each other to work hard, bond together, and crush community service projects as a team! The coaches care about the player and the individual. They hold the kids to high standards while supporting their needs and development. Their support and interaction with the kids doesn't end when the season ends. Royalty is a fantastic program to be a part of!"

    Jenna Boudeman - Royalty Parent from Summer 2022

  • "As a coach in the program I've had several years of travel ball experience, and I can say that Destiny & Matt do a great job of supporting the coaches, while also giving us the freedom to bring our style and personalities to the program. Everything was always well organized and communications clear and precise. Royalty is exactly what our community needs. No reason kids should have to go to Chicago or Peoria to find a quality AAU program. Years from now we'll look back and remember and be proud to be a part of the start of something great for young people in Bloomington/Normal."
