V3 Prep Basketball Academy

At V3 Preparatory Academy, we are committed to nurturing well-rounded student-athletes and developing global basketball players who can excel in any system at the next level. Guided by the Gold Medal Profile, we shape the development of our athletes with utmost care and attention. Each practice activity is thoughtfully designed to encompass these four pillars, ensuring a holistic approach to their growth. From dynamic warm-ups that enhance physical performance and stimulate social and emotional responses to basketball-specific drills that refine skills and decision-making, our program leaves no aspect untouched.

Let’s delve into the four pillars that define our basketball prep school:

1. Physical Performance and Health:

• We prioritize enhancing functional movement capacity.
• Our focus is on maintaining and repairing athletes’ bodies.
• We dedicate ourselves to building physical work capacity.

2. Social Emotional Development:

• We foster an environment of enjoyable training and healthy competition.
• Our aim is to cultivate self-confidence, grit, and resilience among our athletes.

3. Mental Development:

• We strive to develop self-awareness and mental strength in our athletes.
• We emphasize enhancing situational connectivity and composure.

4. Basketball Specific Skill Acquisition:

• Our program is dedicated to mastering advanced basketball skills.
• We emphasize understanding and implementing basketball concepts and decision-making.

Our program consists of four teams: the Junior Varsity National Development team, the Regional Varsity Prep team, the National Varsity Prep team and our Global Post Graduate Team. Before joining our program, athletes go through a comprehensive identification, interview, and assessment process. Once admitted, each athlete is assigned a coach who closely collaborates with our strength and conditioning coach and athletic therapist. Together, they establish a baseline and identify areas for improvement. Based on this assessment, we create an Individual Performance Plan (IPP) tailored to each athlete, which becomes an integral part of our daily training schedule. With 50% of practice time dedicated to refining skills through situational activities, our student-athletes acquire the necessary basketball IQ to contribute effectively on the court.

We offer a meticulously designed periodized program that encompasses performance training, fundamental and advanced skill development, social-emotional and mental training, and intense team practices. Our strength and conditioning sessions follow a structured model, focusing on stabilization, strength, and power. Additionally, we prioritize active recovery exercises and mental preparation techniques such as mindfulness and yoga.

Our team practices revolve around skill and concept development, on-court decision-making, and strategic/tactical elements on both ends of the court. To further enhance their growth, we provide a robust schedule of competitive tournaments, exhibition games, and league play, offering opportunities both domestically and internationally.

As our student-athletes approach their senior or post-graduate years, our coaching staff works closely with them to formulate an extensive recruiting profile. We carefully match their demonstrated abilities and academic standing with potential college programs. Scholarships, both athletic and academic, worth thousands of dollars, are available for student-athletes in North America. Upon graduation from V3 Preparatory Academy, our basketball players are fully prepared to accept, compete for, and contribute to college basketball programs at their respective levels.
