JoJo Ryder’s Vision: Cultivating Excellence On and Off the Court

Ryder Elite, an AAU basketball program, was established by the esteemed movie producer JoJo Ryder with the intention of empowering young men in the realms of basketball and academics. The program has demonstrated its efficacy through the development of Division 1 athletes such as James Evan’s of UNLV and Jamari Phillips of the Arizona Wildcats. Ryder Elite deviates from other basketball programs by not only focusing on athletic accomplishments but also placing great emphasis on academic excellence and personal growth.

The program’s dedication to comprehensive development is evident in the accomplishments of its former players, many of whom have progressed to commit to Division 1 programs. Distinguished alumni encompass James Evan’s of UNLV, Jamari Phillips of the Arizona Wildcats, Sammie Yeanay of Arizona State, Del Jones of Clemson, and Marcus Adams Jr who initially committed to the Kansas Jayhawks before transferring to CSUN. Furthermore, the program’s ability to cultivate top talent is further exemplified by Sierra Canyon standout, Noah Williams, who committed to CSUN.

Looking towards the future, Ryder Elite is poised for success with the returning players on the 17U team, such as Shaun Kowlessar Jr, Jaden DePina, and Odartey Blackson, who exhibit promise both on and off the court. The program’s devoted coaching staff, led by Shaun Kowlessar and inclusive of Cole Barton, Ben Chavez, and Coach Eddie, play a pivotal role in shaping these young athletes into well-rounded individuals.

Ryder Elite’s primary focus is not solely on producing accomplished basketball players, but also on nurturing young men who excel academically and personally. By instilling values and skills that extend beyond the realm of basketball, the program aspires to contribute to the long-term success of its players well beyond their basketball careers.

JoJo Ryder conveyed his vision for Ryder Elite, stating, “My vision for Ryder Elite wasn’t just to establish a competent basketball program, but to also facilitate the academic success of these young men! I extend my gratitude to all our trainers, tutors, and coaching staff for their unwavering dedication and hard work.”

Ryder Elite’s emphasis on academic excellence and personal development distinguishes it as a program that transcends the boundaries of basketball. With a solid foundation of players and a committed coaching staff, the program is poised to continue fostering accomplished athletes in both the realms of basketball and life.
