Our Beginning

In 2011, a group of parents whose sons loved to play basketball got together to discuss what alternatives were available in addition to the host of recreational programs in the area. What they discovered is that there were none.

With determined hearts and an optimistic outlook, a 6th grade team which was affectionately called the “Dunwoody Dash” was formed. The 9 boys on the team played a short spring schedule of competitive games.

Despite the fact that they didn’t win one game and their average margin of defeat was 25 points, the boys had a great experience. They enjoyed the higher level of competition and playing with other players who shared a similar passion for the game. Just as the boys learned a great deal, so did the coaches (dads).

They learned that despite being stars in their recreation leagues, when the players were put together as a team in this new setting; they required a different type of preparation to play with and be competitive against high level competition. The next season the team was known as Dunwoody Elite. As the program grew and welcomed players from all over the Atlanta Area it was appropriately renamed Dunwoody United Basketball (DUB).

Our Growth

Since our inception, DUB has slowly and strategically grown into multiple teams with multiple coaches.

We have partnered with the MJCC of Atlanta to now call it our home. With 3 state of the art regulation sized courts, in an inviting and safe environment, we now are able to offer a comprehensive array of programs. All of which are led by non-parent coaches who have vast basketball experience and a history of being positive influences on young men and women. These include:

• A fall training camp, to help players get ready for school tryouts, with skill work and small sided games

• Our signature spring program which includes teams between 6th grade and 11th grade

• Individual or small group training available upon request
