what we do

Welcome to Yellow Brick Basketball! We offer year round youth basketball clinics and academies for preschoolers (3.5+ yrs old) through 5th graders all over Montgomery County, MD. 

 

My name is Ryan Krueger and I am the head coach and founder. I was a professional coach for 19 years in the NBA, G League, and NCAA Division 1. 

​

Yellow Brick CLINICS   are a way to get the very smallest hoopers (age 3.5+ through 2nd graders) excited about the game and about sports in general. They are a stress free way to introduce kids of all abilities to the game.

​

Yellow Brick ACADEMIES   give players in 2nd through 5th grades a chance to continue improving their skills outside of the traditional 'winter season'. They are a little more focused than the clinics and introduce some competitive aspects, but still prioritize fun, skills and building confidence in players.

what we believe

We designed a program that focuses on fun, skills and building confidence. We believe that jumping into games or competitive environments before they have the skills / confidence to succeed isn't an ideal path to long lasting success.

​

At Yellow Brick Basketball, winning has nothing to do with scores or games. Winning is getting kids excited about basketball, confident in their abilities, who want to keep playing. Winning is having a great sports experience that maybe even gets them more excited to try other sports. That's why we create an environment where everyone can be successful.
