ABOUT US
OUR VISION
Southern Basketball Academy wants to create a program where student athletes are academically, fundamentally, and full of the positive characteristics that will prepare them for the next level of collegiate basketball.
OUR MISSION
Southern Basketball Academy is a stringent post-graduate academic-athletic program for young men who wish to continue their desire to earn a collegiate athletic scholarship at an accredited college or university.
The mission of Southern Basketball Academy is to foster the growth and passion for the game of basketball by providing an opportunity for student athletes to improve their skills, while continuing their education towards a college degree. We formulate this by implementing our own proven “Three E’s” model.
THREE E’S
Elevating Academics. Enhancing Skills. Embracing Basketball.
ELEVATING ACADEMICS
Our mission is for our student athletes to be prepared academically for the future by enforcing strict schedules for study workshops, tutoring, and college coursework. Mandatory academic advisement and monitoring is also required to ensure preparedness for future endeavors.
ENHANCING SKILLS
Our program drives students in practice and requires self-discipline on and off the court. We enforce a schedule that requires commitment and dedication in order to maintain success. This all helps when competing with other Post-Grad programs and Junior Colleges at recruiting events and games. We enhance skills through monitored strength and conditioning training, scheduled practices, scrimmages, and agility activities.
EMBRACING BASKETBALL
With a coaching staff that has over 30 years of high school, post- grad, and semi-professional coaching experience, as well as collegiate playing experience, SBA not only has the knowledge, but a genuine love for the game. This passion has allowed Coach Davis to assist many student athletes with obtaining athletic scholarships, including over 92% of his past season’s post-grad athletes awarded athletic scholarships for the next upcoming season.
