Thanks to Ryan — the owner, trainer, and coach of Grind City — my son Chris’s journey over the past two years has been nothing short of amazing. His hard work and dedication, combined with Ryan’s guidance, have transformed his game to an entirely new level. Ryan’s incredible basketball IQ and remarkable ability to connect with his players inspire everyone around him. Grind City isn’t just a place to train — it’s a place to grow, to push your limits, and to discover your true potential.

My son Mikey (Splash) has been training with Grind City Training (Ryan) for over 6 years from a 9 year old to a 15 year old playing high school ball. We have followed Ryan along his training journey and watched him grow. Ryan has pushed my son beyond his limits. He has taught him how to use his size to compete with many defenders. Ryan has become like a family member to us. I highly recommend Ryan if you want to see your child improve their basketball skills.

Their summer camps challenge athletes through 1v1, 3v3, and 5v5 formats, ensuring players experience both individual growth and team dynamics.
Led by Ryan Kennedy and his dedicated staff, Grind City emphasizes hard work and resilience. Players are encouraged to confront weaknesses directly while building on their strengths through demanding, well-structured drills. The coaching style is firm yet supportive, fostering discipline and confidence on and off the court.
What makes Grind City truly stand out is its culture of growth. For athletes with a basketball mindset focused on improvement, the environment is both positive and transformative. It’s not just about refining skills — it’s about reshaping how players approach the game, instilling habits that last well beyond camp.

Ryan’s the real deal — not just a trainer chasing a paycheck, but someone who genuinely loves what he does. You can tell by the way he pours into the kids. He holds them accountable, teaches discipline, and pushes them to be better — not just on the court, but in life. The proof is in the progress; every time Carter steps on the floor, I see the impact Ryan’s had. Truly appreciate what you guys are doing at Grind City??
