Description:
Basketball 365 is a sporting goods company that focuses on the growing year round sport of basketball. We sell directly to teams and individuals via the internet and through retail and outside sales associates. Youth are specializing in a particular sport at an earlier age; our goal is to move ahead of this trend and be the premiere year around source for the over 27 million people that play basketball.
Company president Kenny Wood brings with him a long track record in the sport as a player, a trainer/coach, as major equipment manufactures sales representative, and as a retail entrepreneur. Kenny’s former teammates, coaches and colleagues now work as college coaches, NCAA Division 1 referees, NBA coaches, high school coaches, employees of leading and cutting edge manufacturers, sports agents, coaches and players in the European league, and business leaders in their respective communities. The network that he has developed places Kenny in the unique position of being one degree removed from nearly everyone in the basketball community.
