The Waukee JAM Basketball Club is a family-friendly, community-based, competitive basketball program. Our aim is to help young men and women learn the game, compete, and be their best both on and off the court.
From the Ground Up
The Waukee JAM Basketball Club was founded in 2009-10 as a single 1st grade boys basketball team. Today we run around 30 teams annually from 2nd grade up through 12th.

You've got a lot of good options if you're looking for competitive basketball in the metro & we've got a ton of respect for every program & coach out there trying to improve lives through the game of basketball.
How are we different?
At JAM we are laser-focused on our athletes, our families, and our community. While we can't promise college scholarships, we can promise to create an environment for our athletes to grow & become the best version of themselves.
Our mantra is hard work, team first, and respect. Our teams are aggressive, disciplined, and respectful. While plenty of programs are the Duke's & Carolina's of the world, we're happily the mid-major. We are the metro's mom & pop, competitive basketball club. In the city for good, since 2009.

Like a lot of dads, I love coaching my kids. When my oldest was in kindergarten I initially signed up to coach his rec basketball team and shortly after realized we needed something a little more competitive. I formed the Waukee JAM when he was a 1st grader and took that team all the way through High School. Along the way we became a pretty competitive group and played and won all around the region and I also discovered a calling and passion for coaching.
As a part of my final project for my Master's thesis in 2015, I conducted a feasibility study on a new basketball program for the western metro. As a result of that study, we took JAM to the masses & we're off to a pretty good start.
Although I don't coach my kids anymore, my passion to coach & coach our coaches, along with my desire to help the youth & our community are as strong as ever. I'm a 15-year youth coaching vet, and you tend to gain a little perspective the longer you do it.
I'm an Iowa boy to the core - Carroll Kuemper Catholic Knight (class of '98), UNI Panther, Upper Iowa Peacock, & former musician turned family man. I won't wow you with my basketball accolades here but I'll just say that in certain circles I am considered a playground/Gus Macker/Hoop-it-Up legend... If you watch our teams today, that up & down, fun style ball from back in the day comes through just a little bit.
