GD Prodigy Basketball

We’re Coach Garai Fields and Coach Duane Redmond—two dedicated coaches who have built something special from the ground up. With hard work, love, and commitment, we’ve partnered with the Ann Arbor YMCA Downtown to create two AAU teams and a younger development team to bridge the gap for student-athletes new to the AAU world.

Our mission? To cultivate a culture of hard work, growth, and opportunity. If you’re looking for a safe, competitive, and supportive basketball environment, this is the place to be. You get what you put in—and we’re here to push you to be your best.

📢 7th & 8th Grade Boys – Tryouts Coming Soon!
If you or someone you know is looking for a team this spring/summer, come be part of something bigger.
