G1 BASKETBALL
G1 God First is a faith-based organization founded by Joel Lawmann, which was created to help shape young athletes to be successful in both sports and in life. Joel is a firm believer in teaching kids how to play rather than teaching them plays. Joel, born one of five sons to a preacher, grew up in London, England, emersed in the basketball and soccer culture with his brothers. Joel moved to the states to play basketball and soccer for Blackburn College, carlinville Illinois then JUCO basketball for Wayne County community college,Detroit Michigan then the Detroit Panthers ABA team in 2006. His younger brother, Benjamin, joined him a few years later to play basketball in Michigan. Eventually, Joel moved to Colorado to tryout for Erie Bayhawks and has remained in Colorado teaching, mentoring and serving in several basketball communities ever since. His love of the game and his passion for the youth are palpable and clearly felt and seen upon meeting him and observing his practices and games.

Varsity Player
Long-Term Growth
I have been training with Coach Joel since 4th grade, and now I’m a junior in high school. Over the years, he has helped me develop and sharpen my skills not only in basketball but in life as well. He is one of the most reliable, kind, and knowledgeable people I know. He has helped me achieve my dream of playing high-school varsity basketball, and I’m currently leading my team in scoring with aspirations to play at the collegiate level.

Skill Development
Training here changed the way I play and the way I think about the game. I became more confident, more disciplined, and more consistent. Every session feels intentional, and you can tell Coach Joel genuinely cares about helping players improve.

Parent Feedback
Leadership Impact
As a parent, what stands out most is the mentorship. My child has improved athletically, but also in discipline, attitude, and work ethic. Coach Joel creates an environment where players feel pushed, supported, and inspired to become better on and off the court.
