The Roberts family built the barn in 2005.   Ed Schilling came in and worked with the Roberts training athletes from all age groups to NBA in the barn.  It was a safe fun place to practice and train.  Ed was instrumental in transitioning the floor from a sport court to hardwood. This hardwood "floating floor" came out of the 2002 FIBA world games held in Indianapolis.  

Some of the initial athletes included: Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr., Yogi Ferrell and many others.

Throughout the years it has developed into the mystical Zionsville barn in the cornfield where children to adults have traveled to play basketball and sought training from the best trainers the Midwest have: Ed Schilling, Rob Blackwell, Joey Burton, LaSalle Thompson, Zionsville dedicated parents and others.

The Zbarn had been the training home, memories and fulfilled dreams for numerous athletes.

 Notable players whom lives were impacted and dreams accomplished in part from having access to the barn: Greg Oden, Yogi Ferrell, Carsen Edwards, Jarrel Brantley, Kelan Martin, Jae-sean Tate, Ty Harris, Ally Beck, Jermaine O’neal, Gordon Hayward, Trace Jackson-Davis, Kelsey Mitchell, Justin Holiday, Glenn Robinson III, Goga Bitadze, Kyle Guy, Julian Mavunga, Shayne Whittington, Stephanie Mavunga, Katie Burton, Myles Colvin, Mason Gillis, Austin Burgett, Paul Jorgensen, Tyler Wideman, Sean McDermott, Joe Lawson III, Greg Foster, Shaq McKissic, Darius Leonard, Eric Hunter Jr., Trevion Williams, Aaron Wheeler, Isaiah Thompson, Joey Brunk, Aaron Henry, Kevin Easley Jr, Kobe Webster.
