Ready for success? 

Take your game to the next level. 

There is an ever-widening gap in youth basketball. Too much “organized play” instead of skills acquisition and how to apply these skills in games. Basketball players must possess the fundamental skill to take advantage of what they see when on the court. Unfortunately, many coaches have a fascination with plays, complex actions, or multiple defenses instead of sound teaching. This leaves many players, and teams, in a bad position at game time.

At JD7 Basketball, we set out to change that. Whether enrolled in private coaching, skills trainings, clinics, or our one-of-a-kind instructional basketball league- Level One, young athletes will learn the fundamental skills to be able to analyze situations on the court in real time to build intuitive knowledge of the sport for long term success on ANY team.

 

A coach in your corner at every level.

JD7 Basketball is a consistent presence for developing athletes through every transition they will make in their athletic career.

Testimonials

Private Coaching

” We found JD7 and Jessica last year when my son was 9. He hadn’t played team sports for a few years and really wanted to get more skilled at basketball before joining a team. Jessica’s relatability and positive attitude has made such a huge impact on my son. It kept him motivated, enthusiastic and determined to succeed. My son doesn’t have binocular vision and Jessica was very thoughtful in the way she formulated his training program so that he can be successful playing against other athletes despite those setbacks.”

“Hi Jessica – wanted to say thank you for the encouragement of our daughter. She is a 6th grader who tried out and made the Oak Valley 7th grade team. You encouraged her to try, as she was reluctant and shy. She was much better prepared because of the S7 program. Thanks!!!”

“Just wanted to circle back around to let you know that Maddy made the 7th grade basketball team. She was really happy…and having fun. About 4 sixth graders made it. 

Thanks for working with her at that recent clinic. I think it helped!”
