Happy Thanksgiving from The Basketball Movement!

The Basketball Movement treats those involved in what we do like family, so we are so grateful for every member - trainers, players, parents, and everyone behind the scenes.

It was a challenging year at The Basketball Movement. Despite tragic loss, unsurprisingly, there is still plenty to be thankful for. Let us start by acknowledging that we are thankful for the legacy and life lessons left to us by the great Rob Yanders. We miss Coach Rob every day and are eternally grateful for him.

Beyond that, we are thankful for individual player achievements, successful events, We Are United taking steps forward, and much more. As great as all those things are, we are still most thankful for you.

Anyone who has teamed up with The Basketball Movement has created a bond for life. Nothing can be accomplished in what we do without the driving force of the individuals involved. Without the relationships formed, there would not be success.

We are also grateful for the outpouring of love for Rob’s family and all he left behind.

There is nothing soft or embarrassing about showing gratitude. Many individuals take time to help you achieve; the least you can do is thank them. Those small acts of kindness reassure the helpers and make them want to help again and again. You never know who is in need of reassurance, so remember to take the three seconds to make someone’s day.

We want to personally thank our trainers and staff, who dedicate so much time to bettering not just The Basketball Movement and our programs but all the young men and women involved.

Another personal thank you to the unsung heroes: Parents and guardians of the players. A final thank you to the players themselves that make us what we are. You are part of something special because you make it special. Nothing we do is possible without you, and we want nothing but the best for each and every one of you.

Everyone enjoy the holiday! If you get too full, just run out and get some shots up to burn off those excess calories. Or, hit us up and come get this work!
