COMING SOON to Theaters, DVD, and Audio Book: Doin' Hard Work |
|
|
The Wheelin' Jazz have teamed up with JDQ Sports to bring you Doin' Hard Work, the first-ever behind-the-scenes peek at the on-and-off the court lives of players from the Utah Wheelin' Jazz; featuring Jeff Griffin, Layne Mangum, Tyler Lathem, and Sam Blakely.
Doin' Hard Work takes place in the Summer of 2011 and explores how the human spirit overcomes insurmountable odds, while drawing subtle comparisons between today's unknown sports heroes, professional athletes and the NBA Lockout.
Frank Layden (NBA Coach of the Year, 1984-Utah Jazz) narrates the journey of the Utah Wheelin' Jazz team over one weekend, when they drove 1500 miles round trip, from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles, and slept at a campground to save money on hotels, in order to participate at the Nike 3-on-3 basketball tournament on the streets next to the Staples Center during the Summer of Lockout.

Thanks for visiting wheelinjazz.com. Here you will find news and notes of our Wheelchair Basketball Teams and Sports Programs. Our teams are all members of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association. For more information about the Wheelin' Jazz, or to schedule members of the team for a public appearance, contact Layne Mangum at 801.400.2882 or laynemangum@wheelinjazz.com. Please click the links below to learn how you can get involved with the team.
Changes are in the air for the 2012-13 season. We are adding a new Junior team. This season, our program will include a Championship Division team, a Division III team, and two Junior Division 10' teams.
Sponsorships have changed as well. We send out a very heart-felt thank you to Dale Hull, Jan Black, and the entire staff of Neuroworx. Neuroworx has been helping our program for the past 5 years and we know that without their help, we wouldn't be in our current growth mode. We will continue to work with Neuroworx as they have committed to continue their sponsorship of our annual Celebrity Game.
During the last 5 years, Salt Lake County Adaptive Sports has also been a major supporter of our program. This year, Jeff Burley is stepping up in a larger role. Facilities and equipment are vital for the strength of our teams. SLCo Adaptive has been the major sponsor of our tournaments providing not only facilities, but transportation, cost of referees, and food for the visiting teams. Words are not adequate to express our appreciation to Jeff Burley and Salt Lake County Adaptive.
