We are now entering our 17th year as an organization. The Joy Of The Game Inc. has grown strong and has established itself as a mainstay in teaching basketball skills in the Chicagoland area and at the National level with it's Rising Stars travel team programs. The Joy of the Game Inc. has solidified itself as the company that offers programs for all athletes of all ages, genders, and skill level. Our players have helped us to establish ourselves as a top-notch organization. We can only obtain this reputation by dealing with first-class athletes, parents, and coaching staff. We are also proud of our knowledgeable and well-respected coaching staff. Most of our coaching staff is made up of former JG players whom want to give back their knowledge of the game to younger athletes whom are striving to learn the game as they once did.



With of the success of Joy Of The Game Inc. and Rising Stars Basketball Club clinics and travel teams over the past couple of years, I have been offered many opportunities to coach basketball at the high school level and the collegiate level. As you can imagine, my heart is with The Joy Of The Game. I truly enjoy teaching and watching athletes develop their skills in basketball from a young age until they become young adults and travel off to college. Hopefully every athlete that's been involved in The Joy of the Game Inc. programs at one time or another will ultimately realize that basketball/all sports are tools to help each athlete to grow as players in their skills, but most of all as young adults in the game of life.
