The inaugural school year of We Are United prep is well underway, and the excitement is palpable among the young men who have joined this promising program. Led by Head Coach Rob Yanders and his dedicated coaching staff, the players have already begun their training at The Basketball Movement facility in Nixa, Missouri.
The day starts with a invigorating four-mile run, followed by a break for lunch and online classes. After some light stretching and shooting practice, the players are divided into teams for 5-on-5 runs. As the games commence, expectations are set high, and the players showcase their skills. Kanon Gipson, a talented guard standing at 6’3″, leads the offense, while Jonathan Dunn, a 6’7″ forward, demonstrates his outside shooting prowess.
