Tonight’s Game Update – Hustle Ohio 7U/9U

by Coach on

Dear Hustle Parents,

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone back on the court tonight for our 7U and 9U game action!

While we were once again unable to secure a Kentucky opponent for tonight, we’ll be mixing up the two current teams to create a balanced and competitive matchup. We’ll have officials on site, and you can expect a fun, energetic, and structured game environment for all players.

There will be no admission charge, and we hope you continue to see your athlete learning, improving, and enjoying the game each week.

Looking ahead, we are actively working on revamping our program structure and timing in conjunction with Spooky Nook to provide an even stronger experience with increased participation moving forward. More details will be shared very soon.

Thanks as always for being a part of Hustle Basketball. We appreciate your continued support and are committed to delivering the best possible experience for your player.

See you at the gym!

Reminder: No Ohio G-League Games Tonight

by Coach on

Hi everyone,

Just a quick reminder—there are no Ohio G-League games tonight due to a large event taking place at Spooky Nook that is using the full facility.

We’ll be back on the court next Friday as scheduled, and all missed games will be made up. Thanks again for your flexibility as we continue to build a great experience for the players.

Enjoy your evening, and we’ll see you next week!

Ohio G-League Update – Games Schedule Change & Tonight’s Practice

by Coach on

Hi everyone,

We’re excited for a great night of training and practice tonight—players should come ready to work!

We wanted to update you on this week’s game schedule. Last week, Spooky Nook informed us they would need the facility this Friday for a large event, and we were bumped to Thursday night. Initially, we believed we could make the Thursday adjustment work, but after reviewing availability across players, coaches, referees, and Hustle staff, it became clear that Thursday wasn’t feasible for many.

As a result, we’ve made the decision to cancel this week’s games. Rest assured, all games will be made up, and we’ll be back on track with games next Friday as originally scheduled.

We’re actively working to coordinate with the KY teams for the rest of the regular season and will update your Playbook app with game times and matchups as soon as they’re finalized.

Thanks for bearing with us as we continue to make adjustments and deliver a strong season. We appreciate you—and we’ll see everyone tonight!

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.
