About The GEM

Growth. Effort. Mastery.

At The GEM, we don’t just develop basketball players — we build confident, disciplined, and high-performing young people.

Based in Delray Beach, Florida, The GEM Basketball Facility is a premier training hub for youth development through elite basketball training, mentorship, and academic support. Our programs are designed to elevate every athlete — on the court, in the classroom, and in life.
