Hillsborough Couple's Jump Shot Gym Introduces Unlimited Clinics Memberships

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Jump Shot Gym, a specialized basketball facility owned by Township couple Jim and Lara Hoyt with eight hoops and Dr. Dish shooting machines, announces a new membership option that can accommodate players of all levels.

The new Clinics Memberships provide the ability to attend unlimited skills clinics for $149.99 per month. The new summer schedule, which begins July 8, offers 32 clinics per month. Available clinics include foundational skills, shooting and finishing, and ball handling. Clinics Members also get a 25 percent discount on summer camps, parties, and walk-in shooting sessions at the gym.

Jump Shot Gym opened in April with memberships that provide unlimited access to its Dr. Dish shooting machines. These machines catch both made and missed shots and continuously pass the ball to the player, enabling more than 1,000 shots per hour and tracking stats.

To use the shooting machines, players must be able to clear a tall net, which naturally improves the shot arc. However, some younger players are not able to clear the net consistently.

"We quickly saw a huge interest from younger players who aren’t ready yet for the Dr. Dish machines, and we needed to come up with an option that allowed them to get the benefits of membership," said Jim Hoyt, the owner of Jump Shot Gym. "We also have many intermediate and advanced members who are improving tremendously with all the reps they are getting on the shooting machines, and we wanted to give them another way to up their game."

Jump Shot Gym will continue offering clinics as eight-week sessions, as well as drop-in pricing for individual clinics. In addition, the gym is running summer camps through Aug. 30.

"I always say, I want two things for everyone who comes into the gym. One, I want every player to improve. Two, I want every player to have fun," Hoyt said. "I’m excited to offer a way for beginners and very young players to improve and learn how much fun this sport can be."

Jump Shot Gym is located at 1 Jill Court, Suite 25, in Hillsborough. For more information, visit jumpshotgym.com.
