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.

About

Open Gym Premier provides camps, club teams, tournaments and training to dedicated basketball players. One of fifteen Jr. NBA Flagship Network Members, OGP has earned a reputation for providing quality coaching and training while also delivering innovative, well-organized events to the basketball community. OGP has expanded significantly since inception and now operates club programs in Anaheim, Irvine, Mission Viejo, Thousand Oaks and Arizona. The event model now includes an elevated camp experience for elite players through the Elite Basketball Circuit and a full-service tournament platform through Grassroots 365. OGP continues to expand with programs and events for Orange County Basketball Tournaments across the West serving over 50,000 basketball players and 5,000 teams per year. As the Organization continues to grow, management remains steadfast with a genuine purpose of helping all basketball players and teams and improving the grassroots basketball experience.
