Chasing Hoops was born in the quiet tension between calling and comfort. For years, our founder Giovanni Washington chased what the world called success: jobs, status, and temporary satisfaction. The grind was loud. But God’s whisper was louder.
Basketball had always been more than a game. It was therapy, expression, and identity.

Then one day, shooting alone in his backyard, God dropped the words into his spirit:
“Chasing Hoops.” It was not a business idea. It was an assignment...

That seed sat dormant for a season, waiting for pressure, waiting for the right kind of breaking. And when life stripped away the distractions and the old identities, it finally grew. God made something clear in that process: the same discipline that builds skill can
build faith. The same court that tests your endurance can shape your character. The same grind that makes an athlete can make a man of God. 

Chasing Hoops became the collision of both.

Most brands sell clothing. We are building proof. 

Proof that faith and athletic excellence are not in conflict. They belong on the same path. Proof that following God is not a Sunday commitment. It is a Monday morning Bible study and a workout at 5am, a post when no one is watching, a prayer before tipoff, and a
standard you keep when the crowd is gone.

When someone wears Chasing Hoops, they are not just repping a logo. They are making a
declaration: “I play for the Kingdom. I train with purpose. I live what I preach.”

Every product we design, every piece of content we create, and every ambassador we equip is faith in action. Because Kingdom Discipline is not a feeling. It is a decision you make every single day.

Most people chase wins. We chase obedience. We still compete to win, and obedience decides how. 

While the world measures success in trophies and highlights, we measure it in consistency, character, and stewardship. We believe that how you train is how you live.

That excellence on the court is an act of worship. That showing up for your game, for your community, and for your God when no one is watching is the most important rep you will ever take.

Our faith is not a marketing strategy. It is not a niche. It is the foundation everything is
built on.

Play With Purpose is our message. Kingdom Discipline is the daily practice that makes it real. Every athlete grows in four ways:

Learn: Grow in wisdom and basketball understanding.
Train: Work with discipline and intention.
Commit: Stay faithful when it is hard.
Trust: Stand on an identity in Christ that a box score cannot shake.

Chasing Hoops is not a campaign. It is a daily walk.

You will see it in the 5am training sessions, the Scripture overlays, and the founder led content built on 500+ consecutive days of showing up and
counting. You will see it in our ambassadors, real athletes living real faith in real cities. You will see it in every youth athlete we equip through our outreach program, kids who need to know their life has purpose beyond the scoreboard.

Join Faith Club, our daily community on Instagram, for devotionals, encouragement, and prayer. Kingdom Hoopers is our ambassador community of athletes who carry the mission into their own gyms and cities.

Our goal was never fame. It was always impact. If someone lands on this page and leaves feeling seen, like someone finally built something for the athlete they actually are, then we have done exactly what God assigned us to do.

We build Kingdom athletes who serve the Lord through how they train, compete, lead, and love.

We are building a community of hoopers for Christ. One rep, one post, one purchase, one life at a time.

Every purchase funds youth outreach and expansion of the brand. Every ambassador carries the mission further. Every piece of content is a testimony that this walk is real.

This is bigger than basketball.
This is Kingdom Discipline.
This is Play With Purpose.
This is Chasing Hoops.
