Joyce Johnson

Joyce Johnson is a current sophomore varsity girls basketball starter at Lincoln North Star High School. She is truly the biggest reason COG Basketball Training even exist. She began playing basketball when she was in 3rd grade. As she grew older, she became tremendously passionate and knowledgeable of the game. She was a kid that would take her basketball with her wherever she went and now her basketball is taking her places. Her home away from home is the COG Basketball Training Gym where she has the opportunity see kids that are just like she was when she was their age. She does an excellent job instructing group and individual training sessions. She also coaches a youth AAU team all year round practicing twice a week and 3-5 games every other weekend. She does all of this on top of being an amazing student and varsity high school basketball. She is truly the light that made COG Basketball Training and we love having her as one of our Directors.
