Tryouts for "Hooper & the Flight Crew" went great this year. Thank you to everyone who auditioned. There were so many talented people, which made this a very difficult decision. If you did not make the team this time, we encourage you to come back to tryouts again next summer. Flight Crew members for the 2009-2010 season are: Glen Clark, Samer El-Awad, Keith Gibson, Chad Layton, Mike Myers, Dan Thomas, Dan Vera, TJ Vernaci, Drew Wojciechowski and Chris Yee.

After nearly a decade of flying solo, Hooper formed his own trampoline dunk team, The Flight Crew, prior to the 2005-06 NBA season. Since then, Hooper & The Flight Crew’s popularity has soared - and for good reason.
