INFORMATION

The Movement: 

Dawan Robinson, owner and founder of Life Of Hoops, LLC looks forward to begin working with all athletes and coaches on showcasing their best skill level to reach their highest potential in a structured basketball environment.  

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Dawan is no stranger to the meaning of HARDWORK. The rough streets of Philly, there were not many options to make it far. As for Dawan, the basketball court saved him. He maintained his focus and DEDICATED his energy and focused his time into his talent of playing basketball and was blessed with an opportunity to leave Philadelphia and play at the University of Rhode Island as a Point Guard with a Full Scholarship. As he continued to work hard and dedicate himself to his passion, Dawan’s ultimate dream was far from his reach. After going undrafted at the 2006 NBA draft and playing in the preseason with The Los Angeles Clippers, Robinson spent his first professional season in France with CSP Limoges. For the 2007-08 seasons he signed with the Polish club Sigsk Wroclaw. He was DETERMINED to make the most out of this opportunity and played professionally throughout Europe ending his final season in September 2016 with the Italian Club Tezenis Verona.

Officially announcing his retirement in December 2017, Robinson was ready to come back to Rhode Island to begin a new journey on the court.  

Today, Dawan Robinson has gained the necessary skills, training and DISCIPLINE to help young inspiring athletes achieve their dreams in basketball. Whether it’s learning how to dribble the ball for the first time, trying out for a Varsity team, or playing Professionally, Dawan has been through the experience. 

Retired from the court, his passion for basketball is far from dimmed. Teaching and training the youth is the next phase in Robinson’s career. After all, it has been his “LIFE OF HOOPS”.
