Philosophy
Our Mission is Simple.
Give basketball players of all ages and skill levels what they need to be confident and successful on and off the court, as they transition and grow, throughout their basketball career.
At JD7 our athletes are trained so that they can be successful at EVERY Level, on EVERY team, and in EVERY season. We offer a consistent presence throughout all of the transitions players make throughout there careers. We provide quality, comprehensive instruction and guidance that progresses with the athlete, allowing them to develop the fundamental skills that are crucial for success and enjoyment of the sport.
Skill Development
When formulating her JD7 Youth Athletic Basketball programs for boys and girls. Founder, Coach Jess kept returning to the fact that there is a disconnect between what many players are being taught, and what actually happens in the game.
Players must possess certain fundamental skills and understand how to apply these skills in games to be successful. Unfortunately, many coaches have a fascination with plays, complex actions, or multiple defenses instead of sound teaching, leaving athletes unable to analyze what’s happening, when it matters – on the court.
With this in mind, Coach Jess formulated her “Select7” steps to fundamental skill development, a concise and easy to follow way for youth athletes to master skill sets and gain confidence as they grow and change both physically and mentally. These philosophies are used in all JD7 Programs. **Formatting below may change to mimick your fliers – need graphics to do this*** I might need your guys help formatting something!
