Rob Yanders Memorial Game — The Basketball Movement

The Basketball Movement is holding a memorial basketball game to celebrate our Founder, Rob Yanders.

On August 17th at 3PM, The Basketball Movement will be hosting a game in remembrance of the great Rob Yanders, celebrating his legacy and accomplishments.

We are not celebrating his accolades as a player or record as a coach, but his impact as a leader, family man, friend, and mentor.

Much like the game that took place around this harrowing time last year, the participants will be current and former Yanders Law players, We Are United prep players, and gym rats of The Basketball Movement.

To keep track of who would like to participate and to better facilitate the event, we ask all current and former players that are interested to reach out in advance.

Call or text Coach Craig at (417)861-2166, or email us at [email protected] if you plan on participating in the game.

Spectators are welcome and encouraged to come watch the game. We have two court-length rows of leather chairs that will largely be first-come, first served.

It has been a difficult year for The Basketball Movement family as we navigate a reality without our legendary leader. Nothing helps to alleviate that pain more than seeing Rob’s works in action. A full gym – his gym – with players playing in his style is a powerful testament to his accomplishments not just as a basketball guru, but as a man.

Expect fights over jump balls, immaculate outside strokes, a few tears, and countless smiles as we express our love for Rob through the beauty of basketball!
