GJ Blackout is a youth basketball club based on the Western Slope in Grand Junction, Colorado. The teams are comprised of talented middle school and high school aged girls and boys and play in tournaments throughout Western Colorado and also in other regions such as Denver, Colorado Springs, Utah and potentially other sites throughout the US. GJ Blackout is a volunteer, non-profit organization. The philosophy of GJ Blackout is to develop individual player skills in basketball, to encourage a lifetime love of the game of basketball and to teach the important skills of being a part of a team. Winning games and tournaments is a bonus and we have our fair share of success! It is also important for our club to keep it affordable to being a member of GJ Blackout and a lot of the uniform and tournament fees are paid by sponsors.
