It is our pleasure to extend a warm welcome as we begin the 18th season of Exit 98! Leading a program of this nature is a true privilege for my coaching staff and me. We are fully committed to ensuring that every player in our program completes the season as a more refined and skilled basketball player & person.

For those who may not know me, my name is Ryan Janeczek. I am the founder and director of RJ13 Basketball Training, as well as the Exit 98 AAU Basketball Program, which is an extension of RJ13. I graduated from Wall High School in 2015, where I played four years of varsity basketball and scored over 1,000 points. Following high school, I attended Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, PA, as a Division 1 Horizon League scholarship student assistant coach. I’ve been coaching since my sophomore year of high school, and my track record in the field speaks for itself. At Exit 98, we have expanded and now have a team of eight experienced, paid coaches and trainers. I, Ryan, will continue to serve as the director and will be your main point of contact. I assure parents that I am fully committed to supporting these athletes both on and off the court.

At Exit 98, we believe in being as transparent as possible with our pricing. We’ve worked hard to offer the most competitive rates we can, despite not having the support of a large facility. As someone who understands the financial commitments that come with youth sports, I want to assure you that we are here to support you. If you need a payment plan or financial assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to support you, and there’s no judgment. We do this often, and we’re committed to ensuring that no player misses out due to financial reasons. Just reach out, and we’ll find a way to help.

Having played, coached, and been involved with various basketball organizations, I understand how frustrating it can be when games or practices are changed at the last minute. We know our players rely on us, just as I relied on my coaches, and we aim to provide that same consistency. Once we gather all scheduling conflicts and set the practice schedule, it’s locked in for the season. While there may be occasional adjustments, we’ll notify you well in advance, and all updates will be communicated through TeamSnap. Similarly, game and tournament schedules will be provided early, with only rare exceptions like last-minute fill-ins. Believe it or not, I do have a life outside of basketball (I don’t sleep in the gym!), and organization is just as important to me as it is to you.
