About Me
John King, Founder of Kingdom Courts LLC
Welcome to Kingdom Courts! I’m John King, a proud product of Dorchester and a graduate of Boston Public Schools. Growing up in this community shaped my perspective, and I’m passionate about giving back through basketball. During my time at Tech Boston Academy, I was mentored by many and learned the importance of leading with love rather than fear. By caring deeply about people, I discovered that you can help them achieve their goals and bring out their best. I took this same approach to basketball and call it Holistic Basketball Player Development—focusing on nurturing every aspect of an athlete—physically, mentally, and socially—while emphasizing personal growth alongside their basketball skills. This approach recognizes that developing a great player involves more than just drills and plays; it requires fostering their overall well-being and character.
As a father, my son, John Jr., has inspired me to create Kingdom Courts. Watching him develop his own passion for basketball has reminded me of the power of the game. Building an environment where youth can compete healthily and grow means so much to me, and I feel blessed to witness my son’s dedication and love for putting in the work. Creating Kingdom Courts isn’t just about nurturing his passion—it’s about sharing it with others.
With certifications from USA Basketball as a Gold Licensed Coach and holding NBA-Level Player Development Certification, I founded Kingdom Courts to empower Boston’s youth. This program is about more than just basketball; it’s about creating a community where every athlete feels valued and supported. Guided by the belief that a kingdom is a place of mutual success and encouragement, I established Kingdom Courts to build an environment where athletes thrive together, on and off the court.
Through partnerships with local gyms, I’m dedicated to making Kingdom Courts a space where athletes can grow, improve, and discover their full potential. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. Let’s build the Kingdom together!
