Inside The Academy

Welcome to The JumpShot Academy. This is where basketball fundamentals meet focused skill development and personal growth. At the core of our program is a commitment to helping athletes master the art of the jump shot. Whether it's a set shot, shooting off the dribble, or a catch-and-shoot, our training is centered on building proper form, balance, consistency, and confidence.

Our Saturday sessions are designed to develop complete basketball players. Athletes work on shooting mechanics, footwork, ball handling, finishing at the rim, and basketball IQ. Each session is high-energy, intentional, and structured to deliver real improvement through repetition and detailed instruction.

To maintain a high level of coaching, each session is limited to ten athletes. This small-group setting allows for personal attention, hands-on correction, and tailored feedback. The final session of the day is reserved for elite athletes who are ready for advanced concepts, faster pace, and deeper strategy.

The JumpShot Academy is powered by Destiny Fitness of Eastman. The vision began with President Jessica Johnson and former trainer Josh Helms, who proposed building a half-court inside the facility. When the idea was brought to me, I shared my passion for launching an academy that would teach young athletes how to shoot the right way. Months later, that shared vision became and the JumpShot Academy was born.

This partnership provides more than just space. It offers a professional training environment where athletes are pushed to grow both on and off the court.

At JumpShot Academy, you don’t just develop your game. You develop the mindset and discipline it takes to succeed in basketball and in life.
