Iowa United stands as a beacon for developing championship-caliber basketball talent, both on and off the court. Their elite training facility, expert coaching staff, and tailored strength programs create the perfect environment where student athletes don't just compete—they dominate.
With an unwavering commitment to skill development, teamwork, and character building, they've cultivated a powerhouse atmosphere where every player reaches their full potential. Their dedication extends beyond the hardwood, emphasizing academic excellence and personal growth that prepares athletes for victory in basketball and in life.
When Iowa United set their sights on elevating their program to compete with big-city powerhouses like Miami, Las Angeles, and New York City, they knew exactly who to call. The organization recognized that to attract five-star recruits and NBA-caliber talent, their facility needed to match the world-class caliber of athletes they were developing within their walls.
Upholding the belief that exceptional talent deserves exceptional environments, Iowa United sought a technology partner who could deliver more than just equipment—they needed a collaborator who understood their vision of creating an immersive training experience that would set new standards in basketball development.
Our team did just that. Delivering championship-grade technology, that transformed their facility into a world-class training ground that rivals the most prestigious basketball academies across the nation. Each system was carefully tailored to the needs of Iowa United’s elite athletes, creating an environment as advanced as the talent it develops.
We installed state-of-the-art LED scoreboards and dynamic ribbon boards throughout the facility, providing crystal-clear visibility and professional-grade displays that capture every moment of training and competition.
The film room received cutting-edge LED displays designed specifically for detailed video analysis and tactical instruction. These precision-engineered screens allow coaches to break down game footage with exceptional detail, enabling players to analyze their performance and study opposing teams with professional-level clarity.
Shot clocks were installed on eight hoops throughout the facility, creating authentic game conditions during every practice session. This comprehensive integration ensures that players train under the same time pressures they'll face in competitive play, developing the mental toughness and quick decision-making skills that separate elite athletes from the competition.
Our audio specialists designed and installed immersive sound systems throughout both the gym and film room, creating an atmosphere that energizes training sessions while ensuring clear communication during instruction.
“Insane Impact has been with us since day one and has been in the fight with us since we began,” said Connor Luginbill, Director at Iowa United.
Connor also reflected on the anticipation and his vision for the project: “My first thought was, okay, who is going to do it? It’s probably going to be something extravagant, and it’s probably going to be hard work, but it’s going to be really successful and unique. It’s going to be an absolute game-changer.”
Charlie Smith, COO of Insane Impact, added, “It’s not often you get to see a venue of this impressive magnitude with all the bells and whistles that we were able to bring to this project, whether it’s our LED offerings or our audio system solutions. That’s what it’s all about. Not many venues around the country can compare to what we see here today.”
Beyond the initial installations, our collaboration with Iowa United extended to refining the experience inside the facility. “They’ve done a great job of collaborating with us on what our needs were. Initially, we pitched what we needed for our facility. Insane Impact delivered exactly that, and then went above and beyond once we moved in. There was no task too big or too small,” said Luginbill.
The results speak for themselves. With high-level, five-star athletes coming through the doors, every LED board, shot clock, and audio system has been designed to impress and elevate the game. The facility now serves as a powerful recruitment tool, demonstrating Iowa United’s commitment to providing their athletes with the best possible training environment.
“We don’t want the screens to just be a PNG logo of Iowa United. We want these systems to look fantastic. From recruiting visits to NBA players, this technology has elevated our game completely,” said Parker Czipar, Social Media Director at Iowa United.
Through this comprehensive installation project, Iowa United’s facility has become more than a training ground. It’s a fully immersive, world-class environment where athletes, coaches, and staff can reach their full potential. As the partnership continues, so does the impact of Insane Impact’s technology on the next generation of basketball talent.
Every element of our installation was designed with purpose: to create an environment that matches the ambition and talent of the athletes who train there. From the moment players step onto the court, they're surrounded by technology that reinforces their commitment to excellence and prepares them for success at every level.
As our partnership with Iowa United continues to grow, so does our shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in athletic training environments. Together, we're not just developing basketball players—we're shaping the future champions of the sport.
