Contact
Here is how you enter into our Hoop Lab Facility location 179 Merrimon Ave, Weaverville NC. The location is at a warehouse that was once called The Sample Group. When you arrive at the location, park in front of dock 6, walk up the yellow stairs and through the door. Once you enter the door walk straight and you will see the court and goals on the right. Seating is limited at our location so we recommend drop offs. If parents would like to stay we ask that you do not roam around the building as it is a shared space with other businesses. If you do not want to sit around, we are directly next to the lake Louise park which has Greenways, trails, and the park. You are also close by restaurants in Weaverville and shopping areas.
