Basketball Group Moves to Woburn

An organization that has trained thousands of young basketball players recently moved to Olympia Avenue in Woburn.

Visionary Basketball Group, which was located in Melrose for many years, was founded by Anthony Taylor in 2004. Taylor was one of the leading scorers in Massachusetts high school basketball history and played for Miami of Ohio University.

The new location is at 78 Olympia Ave., which is home to Athletic Evolution, a strength and conditioning program. VBG will be able to take advantage of Athletic Evolution offerings “to take their game to the next level,” according to VBG.
