The Basketball Movement atmosphere — The Basketball Movement

What is it really like inside The Basketball Movement?

The Basketball Movement accommodates many different levels of athlete. Rob Yanders could be on one court working with a professional hooper on finishing around the rim, while Coach AJ works on the other court, honing the free throw routine of a promising fourth grader.

While the workouts can vary greatly, there are also many constants. As with all Rob Yanders’ entities, there is an intensity that is unmatched elsewhere in this part of the country.

That intensity sets a tone for The Basketball Movement. Atmosphere-wise, it comes across as an electricity in the air that rarely fades. The requirement of “giving it your all” does not differ from young athletes to veteran hoopers. There is an expectation that if you are in The Basketball Movement working, you are working HARD.

For all the intensity, there is also a feeling of warmth. Yes, you are sweating your a$$ off, but we are talking about the sense of caring that Yanders and his staff couple with the intensity so beautifully.

We can push our players so hard because we know they can be capable of more, and we want them to see it too. Our hard-nosed, hard-working approach translates beyond the basketball court. We want what happens here to elevate athletes as people for life.

The tough love approach (or whatever you want to call it) is born out of an undeniable urban vibe that Yanders sees as a needed quality in crafting his vision for the basketball Mecca of the Midwest.

More tangible things in The Basketball Movement’s atmosphere are the constant bouncing of balls, swishing of nets, and the sounds of a caring staff teaching like there is no tomorrow. The hardwood smell caps off the basketball sensory overload. The facility is a hoops escape like few others.

We love it here. Players not afraid of the work it takes to get better love it here.

The workout equipment, film room, barber shop, office, press box, leather courtside seats, and more add a professional touch to a facility that we keep accessible for ballers of all levels.

If you want to check out the facility for yourself, stop by anytime. There are people in our facility getting better at nearly all hours. We would love to have you or your athlete do the same.
