A Modern Facility Revitalizes a Historic Site
The newly opened Shoot 360 Philadelphia basketball training center welcomed the community this week in Norristown, Montgomery County, marking the rebirth of a building that first rose in 1909 and later served the Ford family.
The 36,000‑square‑foot venue blends cutting‑edge motion‑capture sensors, high‑speed cameras and a mobile app that logs each athlete’s performance, creating a data‑driven environment that appeals to players from youth leagues to collegiate prospects.
Co‑owners Naveen Mohiuddin and Mike Morak, together with Director of Operations John Womack, addressed a crowd of local leaders, emphasizing the center’s mission to provide individualized instruction, small‑group skill sessions and personalized training plans that cater to every stage of development.
The opening celebration also highlighted the facility’s role as a community gathering space, with plans for youth camps, clinics, fundraisers and virtual competitions that will bring together families, schools and charitable organizations.
Montgomery County Board of Commissioners representative Jamila Winder praised the project as a “vital investment in our youth” and underscored the partnership between private enterprise and public interest that made the venture possible.
For athletes like Rashaad Bates and Stephen Forster, the center offers a rare opportunity to train in a state‑of‑the‑art setting while contributing to a broader effort to nurture talent across the region.
