RIGBY – At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sean McDonald, and his wife, Spring, opened Jump Start Sports Academy off exit 325 north of Rigby. It started with a small court in a small building and has since grown to include a second building with a full size court.
At 94 feet in length and 50 feet wide, it’s the same size as an NBA basketball court. The floor is from a G-league Golden State Warriors team. It serves more than 400 kids from age four to 18.
Jump Start’s newest amenity is a skate park on the north side of the building with a half pipe McDonald and his crew built and designed themselves.
“We’re getting skaters over there every night,” Sean tells EastIdahoNews.com. “We’ve built the basketball community to around 420 students at peak season and we feel like it’s time to enlarge the pie and do something different for other kids.”
Take a look at it and the full-size court in the video above.
