My name is Joe Good, and I'm the owner and operator of JGB Sports Facility out in Napoleon, Ohio. I’m excited to join this group, connect with other basketball minds, and share a bit about how we’re working to elevate player development and grow the game in our area. At JGB, our philosophy is all about blending structured, high-level curriculum with data-driven training. Here is a quick look at what we are doing to build better hoopers: - Targeted Skill Labs: We've developed a specialized curriculum that starts with our Fundamentals Lab. Once players master those basics, they graduate directly into our specialized programs like the Shot Lab (where we focus heavily on our shooting "Blueprints"), the Court Commander Lab, and the Finisher's Blueprint Lab. - Data-Driven Development: We believe in tracking real progress rather than just passing the eye test. We integrate tools like Dr. Dish shooting machines and the HomeCourt app, evaluating our athletes with a strict 1–10 scoring rubric to measure mechanics, footwork, and decision-making. - Community & Competition: We are big on keeping the competitive spirit alive locally. We regularly run morning Micro-Camps, Fall, Spring and Summer 3-on-3 leagues (Snake Draft every week, players have different team and earn points based off team wins, ties and team points) , and community events like our upcoming Hoops for Lane 3-on-3 charity tournament to give players a stage to compete and give back. We are in process of organizing our own digital community on Skool for our own athletes, so I know how valuable this platform can be. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you, sharing ideas on facility operations and training, and talking hoops. Here is a link to our JGB Sports Facility. I like to share this because we want feedback from others on how we can best improve our facility as well as our programming. https://www.jgbsportsfacility.com/

What's up y'all this community is getting huge and I am loving everyone's thoughts and feedback! My question to you guys is what is one thing you would tell someone who just joined this community?

What’s up guys. Haven’t been in here for a bit due to life, but I wanted to share a win. Over the last 2 weeks I’ve gained over 2,000 followers on social media and have been getting a steady stream of inquiries about my basketball training business. To be honest, I knew social media was important, but I didn’t realize how powerful it really was until I started posting consistently. For years I treated content like an afterthought. Now I’m seeing firsthand that every post is an opportunity to help someone, build trust, and put your business in front of people who need what you offer. The biggest lesson for me has been this: You don’t need a massive following. You need consistent visibility. The more you show up, the more opportunities you create. Still a long way to go, but it’s encouraging to see the work paying off. Looking forward to seeing where this takes the business over the next few months. Thanks to everyone in this group who shares advice and experiences. It’s helped more than you know. 💪🏽

Hey everyone, my name is Jonte Rutty. I just joined the community today and I’m excited to be here. I am the owner of The Den, a basketball training facility and youth basketball program in New York. Three years ago, I opened the facility with a vision of helping young athletes develop their skills, confidence, and character both on and off the court. I work with players of all ages and skill levels and am always looking to learn, grow, and connect with others in the basketball training industry. I’ve already enjoyed reading through the discussions and seeing the knowledge being shared here. For those who have been in the community for a while, where would you recommend a new member start?

I reached out to my content creator friend from last year that recorded my summer sessions. I asked which mic would be solid to upgrade to. She told me these would work. My iPhone isn’t compatible for the adapter connection! I have a friend that is going to bless me with an adapter connection! Just in time for my mini camp on the 17th. 🏆
