Mike Glennon Basketball is proud to announce that Jarad Elite Basketball will officially merge under the Mike Glennon Basketball brand, marking a significant step forward in the organization's mission to provide elite player development opportunities throughout the Chicagoland area.

The partnership is the culmination of a relationship that has been building for more than three years. During that time, Coach Mike Glennon and Coach Ahmad Jarad have worked closely together through MGELITE, developing athletes, building teams, and creating opportunities for players of all ages to grow both on and off the court.

Now, that partnership becomes official.

Coach Ahmad Jarad will join Coach Mike Glennon as Program Director of Mike Glennon Basketball, helping oversee the continued growth of training programs, camps, clinics, open runs, and development-focused travel teams.

Founded in 2020, Mike Glennon Basketball is entering its sixth year of operation and has worked with more than 100 athletes annually throughout the Chicagoland area. Athletes from programs including St. Ignatius, Brother Rice, Marist, Mount Carmel, St. Rita, St. Laurence, Evergreen Park, Oak Lawn, Stagg, Sandburg, Andrew, Jones College Prep, Mother McAuley, and many others have trained within the program.

Together, Glennon and Jarad expect to impact between 150-200 athletes annually through expanded programming and year-round opportunities.
