Description:
Welcome to JLT Fieldhouse Inc., a 501 c3 Non Profit Organization dedicated to “Coaching and Mentoring the Leaders of Tomorrow” through basketball and education. Proudly serving the city of Salisbury, NC and surrounding areas since 2015.
JLT Fieldhouse, Inc. is named after my late father, Sgt. Major Joe Lewis Thompson, USMC, who inspired me to follow my dreams and not just talk about them. He adopted my older brother and I when we were just toddlers, raised us as we were his own flesh and blood and laid a path of giving back and making sure you do what you feel is right by following your heart. He served 30 years in the United States Marine Corps, with two tours in Vietnam. He lost his battle with Leukemia in 1996 , and since then, I have fought to find a way to pay tribute to the man that gave me a future and gift of giving back.
