History
Conceptualized in 2009 and launched in 2011, Open Gym Premier (OGP) evolved after a group of passionate former hoopers recognized a lack of quality basketball facilities, programs, events and coaching in the Orange County area. The idea for Open Gym Premier was developed based on the experiences of Matt Kanne, Miguel Bennett and the entire OGP staff, who carefully evaluated their own careers to help create the ultimate basketball experience. The Open Gym Premier concept has been recognized in business plan competitions and in community circles for its innovation and professionalism.
