Hustle Family - 

Great opening day on Friday, the players looked great in their new uniforms and the games were good.  

As we work on the specific schedule (with the KY teams), we wanted to provide some guidance on the schedule for the remainder of the session so you can plan.  Below is a list of all remaining dates.  We will put the speciffic times once we lock down the KY opponents each week.   There could be weeks where your team might have a 'bye' if no Kentucky team is available.  We would make that date up as a double header on another date. 

The girls 11U team will continue to have 'Bonus' games in KY each Saturday at 12:00 pm.

Let me know if you have any questions!  See everyone tonight.

Hello Hustle families!

Just a friendly reminder that some teams have games this Thursday 5/8 and there will be future weekday games in May and June for all teams as well. Please continue to check your Playbook app schedule and get in the habit of using the RSVP tab to let your coach know whether or not your player will be in attendance for each scheduled event. Thank you!

Great news!

Our Spring G-League uniforms have arrived and will be distributed tomorrow, 4/27. Please make sure to collect your uniform at the merch area upstairs before your game. Please be extra conscious and dispose of the plastic bag the uniform comes in. Uniform distribution day tends to be a very busy time with lots of the plastic bags strewn about the gym. We appreciate your effort to help us keep Griffin Elite nice and tidy!

See you tomorrow for our first official season games!

Hi G-League Families,

We’re excited to kick off Week 3 of our Ohio G-League program at Spooky Nook, and we appreciate the energy and effort you’ve all brought so far!

A few important schedule updates to note:

• While our regular schedule is Tuesday & Friday, please note that for the next two weeks, our Friday scrimmages will move to Thursday nights.

• This week’s adjustment is due to Good Friday, and next week’s change is because of a major event at Spooky Nook.

• Regular season games will officially begin on Friday, May 2nd.

The game schedule will be published soon in your app, so please keep an eye out for those updates.

Thanks for your flexibility as we gear up for a great season. As always, let us know if you have any questions.

See you at the gym!

Hi Hustle G-League Families,

We’re excited to kick off Week 2 of our Hustle G-League season tonight! This week, we’ll continue building skills through focused training and practice tonight, followed by competitive scrimmaging this Friday.

What to Expect This Week

Our goal for these first few weeks is to create a great balance of development and competition.

Our trainers and coaches are ready for another great hour of workouts tonight!  This Friday’s scrimmage night will include:

• 1v1 and 3v3 matchups to encourage spacing, movement, and decision-making

• 5v5 gameplay in the final third of the session for full-court team experience

• Prizes and recognition for standout performers and winners to keep things fun and competitive!

Looking Ahead: Ohio Teams Competing in Kentucky?

One of the topics we’d like to continue to discuss with you tonight is the potential opportunity for our Ohio-based teams to compete in Kentucky against some of our Kentucky Hustle teams.

Why consider this?
There are more teams in Kentucky, which would provide our Ohio players with a broader mix of opponents and new challenges—ultimately raising the level of play.

Key details:

• This would be in addition to our training and scrimmaging in Ohio

• Games would be held on Saturdays in Erlanger, KY (not far from Spooky Nook)

• No admission fees for Ohio families traveling to KY

• We’d need almost full team participation in order to make it work for scheduling

• If a team chooses not to participate, we’ll still run competitive games in Ohio with occasional cross-state matchups

We’ll talk more about this tonight and answer any questions. Looking forward to another strong week of Hustle—see you at the gym!

Best,
Ty

Hello Spring Hustle families!

Your first pre-season game for 4/12 has officially been added to your Playbook Connect app schedule! Please get comfortable using the new app and get in the habit of using the RSVP tab so that your coaches are aware of who will or will not be attending the practices and games. This is very helpful to the coaches for planning and strategy purposes in order for the team to be successful.

*Pinnies will be provided by us this Saturday since uniforms are still in production. (Pre-season games do not count towards standings)

**Please make sure your athlete is always prepared with a size appropriate basketball as well as a water bottle at each practice and game. 

7U: size 5 or 27.5 inch basketball

9U-11U: size 6 or 28.5 inch basketball

13U: size 7 or 29.5 inch basketball

All girls divisions: size 6 or 28.5 inch basketball

***Playbook support is working on the option to have an additional email address connected to each player. As of current, the only option they give us is to share your username and password with the family member that needs access to your Playbook account. Thank you for your patience in this matter, we know it is not ideal.

As always, please reach out to us with any questions or concerns! We are excited to kick off the season this Saturday!
