Limelight Hoops is a full service Basketball Management Firm based just outside of Berlin, Germany.
Limelight Hoops takes great pride in the relationships we form with our clients, and we provide them with the individual attention they need and deserve throughout their career. We select our athletes with care, only taking on clients that we believe in as individuals both on and off the basketball court.
Representing an athlete goes far beyond the negotiation of one's basketball contract. Great care is given in preparing an custom tailored strategy for each client. Since each athlete has different needs, skills and abilities there is no exact formula for achieving great success. That is why it is essential to get to know each client on a personal level in order to help plan his future as he works toward fulfilling his dream.
In today's market, it is important to be associated with an agent you can trust, and who has the necessary connections that can open up all possible options for his clients. Limelight Hoops is connected to a broad international basketball network and established partnerships with clubs and agencies all over the world.
The high level of talent, character, and work-ethic of our players has helped Limelight Hoops to build a impressive list of players in international basketball, and in turn has helped us to develop tremendous relationships with many European teams based on our credibility and integrity.
We pride ourselves for having “an eye for talent” and our priority is to place our players in situations that give them the best opportunity to develop and fulfill their potential, while being compensated for their ability.
Playing basketball internationally can be a challenge for any player, especially for rookies. Differences in language, culture, and style of play make it extremely important to be fully educated on the exact situation a player is considering overseas. We work closely with each client, to provide our players with a living and playing environment in which they can feel safe, comfortable and respected while they transition into a professional player. We are available to our player’s day & night, and we are in constant contact with our players throughout the year to handle any issues that may arise.
We are a basketball agency who builds long lasting and trustful relationships with our players and the clubs we worked with.
