About · Tahj “Freeze” Tate

Built to pass down the work.

Freeze Hoops Academy was built to pass down the knowledge, instincts, footwork and movements that let Tahj compete at the highest levels.

The goal isn't just to put you through a workout. It's to teach you to master your game on both sides of the floor and become unguardable on any floor.

Real development happens physically and mentally: expanding basketball IQ, reading the defense, and mastering the mental side of the game.
