Thank you for subscribing to Hardwood Evolution Basketball!

We’re excited to be a part of you and your child’s basketball journey!

Derek Griffin, Founder of Hardwood will be sharing his best tips, techniques, drills, and resources to help your child make shots consistently, reduce playing insecurities, and even get them on a path towards a college offer.

But before we do that, we want to make sure that you can receive all of our updates by WHITE LISTING our emails.

This will be your 1st and only housekeeping task and we promise it will be worth your time…

Why is this important?

Many e-mail and internet service providers have put in aggressive programs and filtering system to block unwanted e-mails (also known as spam).

Hardwood Evolution appreciates their intention to protect all of us from spam (we hate it!), but everyone agrees that the current system is far from perfect.

Often these programs block e-mails that you actually want to get.

Here’s how you can help the system prevent “false positives” and join the fight against spam.

Solution: White-list Emails from Hardwood Evolution.

A whitelist is a list of email addresses of people who you want to receive emails from.

It’s a way for you tell your email provider Derek Griffin and Hardwood Evolution is my friend, and I actually want to learn from him.

Here’s how you can whitelist our emails before your delivery is interrupted.
