The Peach Jam will be played July 9-14 in Augusta, GA right along side the 17U EYBL Peach Jam.  Our 16s will be playing with 19 other NIKE programs that qualified for the event.  The event is invitation only based on qualifying events, and our 16s with their win at the Memorial Day Classic in Minneapolis, qualified.  Throughout the weekend, the 16s beat 5 NIKE programs (California Supreme, Spiece, WI Playground Elite,  Howard Pulley and The Family) on their way to winning the championship game 66-46.

It is a huge deal for our boys program to make the Peach Jam and we look forward to competing down in GA this July.  The boys are working very hard to go down to Peach Jam and continuing to put AIA the discussion with other elite NIKE programs.  Good work boys and keep working hard as you prepare for a huge July!

Over the next few months, Rachel will be offering lessons and skills training while working to form the program.  We will have tryouts in the Fall to form teams of all ages.  Please continue to check back with us as we continue to confirm plans for our program.

The Harvester Golf Club

1102 330th St Rhodes, IA 50234

Schedule of Events

11AM – Silent Auction Begins/Range Opens/Brunch at course

12:30PM – Shotgun Start Golf Outing/Lunch & Refreshments throughout the round

5:30PM – Dinner in the Tent and Speaking (featuring Dickson Jensen and Aaron Thomas).

**If you are coming just for dinner and the speaches, please come around 4:30PM to bid on silent auction items and be there in time for the speaches.

6:30PM – Silent Auction Closes/Prizes Awarded

This outing will help raise money for our 5013C non-profit youth organization that needs to raise thousands of dollars yearly to sponsor players and help pay for all or part of their fees based on need of the player. With about 30% of our kids needing to be scholarship due to financial need at home, there is $180,000 in direct expenses (which doesn’t include travel and often food expenses for these players that needs to be paid for as well). The Iowa Youth Basketball Foundation needs $200,000+ to be able to continue to sponsor all of the kids it would like to sponsor. We have continued to grow AIA over the last few years and will be building a new facility next to our current 2 court facility to accommodate the demand for our program. We are looking forward to a bright and growing future and need to stay proactive in raising money in order for our program to be solid financially and support the many kids that love the Attack program but need financial assistance in order to be involved.

We want to highly recommend this event to all Attack parents and players.  I know the event is on a school night, but please do everything you can to get to this event as I think Aaron has a great message on life that all of our kids can learn a great deal from.  Please see the following ways in which you can participate in this event:

1) Come and listen to Mr. Aaron Thomas speak.  We are privileged to have Aaron Thomas be our guest speaker for the night and after hearing him speak once, he is a great speaker that you won’t want to miss.  Aaron is the oldest son of the late Ed Thomas, and will be speaking on the values that his father installed in him and how sports can teach and impact kids’ lives.  He has a great message that I think all Attack kids and their parents should hear!!  If you would like to come to the dinner portion of the event only, that is great.  Please plan to arrive around 4:30pm and take a look and bid on the silent auction items.  Please RSVP to Blake Jensen at blakezjensen@gmail.com so we can have a better idea on how many people will be in attendance.

2) Make a Donation.  We will have donation areas set up during the event for those that want to donate to the IYBF and help other players in need.  Can’t make it to the event but want to help out, make a donation to the IYBF via mail.  For more information on how to do so, please contact Blake Jensen at blakezjensen@gmail.com.

3) Sponsor a team of golfers and play in the event.  The cost for a foursome of golfers is $2000.  All entries go directly to the Iowa Youth Basketball Foundation.  By signing up a team, you will get a gift package upon arrival, chance at over $6,000 worth of prizes, and free food and drink all day.  If you are interested in signing up a team, please contact Blake Jensen at blakezjensen@gmail.com as soon as possible to save your team a spot in the event. During golf we will have multiple flag prizes and a few other unique games listed below:

Hole #3: Par 3 – 165 yards – Betting with Lefty. There will be a ring of 20ft diameter around the whole.  Bet $20 or more that you will hit your ball within the circle.  If you do, you double you money.  If you don’t….you just donated $20 or more to a worthy cause!!

Hole #6: Par 5 – Drive for Dough with Blake.  Think you can hit it further than 250 yards…If so, then you will want to bet Blake that you can hit it further than him.  Bet $20 or more that you will hit your ball further than Blake.  If you do, you double you money.  If you don’t….you just donated $20 or more to a worthy cause!!

Hole #13: Par 4 – Putt for Dough with Coach Ken.  There will be 3 distances for this challenge.  Bet $20 to putt from the 12′ line, bet $30 to putt from the 15′ line and/or bet $40 to putt from the 18′ line.  Simple game…if you make the putt, you double you money.  If you don’t….you just donated $20 or more to a worthy cause!!

Hole #17: Par 3 – 155 yards – Closest to the Pin with Dickson. Hit the green and surely you’ll win!  Dickson is notorious for hitting it in the water on 17.   Bet $20 or more that you will hit your ball closer to the pin than Dickson.  Water is automatic DQ.  If you do, you double you money.  If you don’t….you just donated $20 or more to a worthy cause!!

SHOOTING SERIES (SEPTEMBER SUNDAYS): For 4 Sunday afternoons, athletes will be given specific instruction on how to improve one of the most critical aspects of the game – shooting. Each day will present a different objective which includes efficient form, drilling shots off the catch and dribble, and learning key mental routines to become and train as the great shooters do. This is a can’t miss opportunity if your athlete is looking to become a KNOCK-DOWN shooter!

PICK UP HOOPS (MONDAY): Our Monday evenings will offer athletes a chance to practice game reps without the pressure of tournament or organized competition. Players will learn how to maximize their development and improvement in various pick-up games which will include small sided games (1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3, etc). The amount of in game practice for these 6 weeks will prove to be INVALUABLE in preparation for the season!

POSITION WORK (TUESDAY): Tuesday nights will be specialized, individualized training for each attendee. Coaches will assess major areas of improvement specific to each players’ position and key areas of improvement. This will allow players the opportunity to work on functional body movement, and offensive moves, as well as any defensive deficiencies. Have a skill set you want to add to your game this fall, come JOIN us!

TOUGHNESS (THURSDAY): Setting great screens. Diving for loose basketballs. Fighting through mental fatigue. Attacking the paint against contact. Beating pressure with poise. These are a few of the characteristics of tough players that are so coach-able and a joy to have on any team and at any level. After 6 weeks of training on Thursday evenings, players will be as PREPARED as possible for a great season ahead!
