Academic Basketball Club, LLC

OUR STORY

Our Teams are in a focused training program to become professionals, albeit in something other than basketball. Their route will take them through one of the many fine colleges or universities renowned for their high standards of academic excellence and the success of their basketball program.

HOW WE MEASURE SUCCESS

This is our success story so far. Ten years of hard work, creative thinking, evolution, progression and learning from our mistakes have taught us to capitalize on opportunities when they appear or as we create them.

IT'S MORE THAN BASKETBALL

The proven reality: through our successful programs, several players achieved admission to schools they would not otherwise have gotten into without the exposure, skills and maturity they achieved with us.

COACHES

It starts with coaching, including basketball on the court but certainly not limited to just that.

THE 2012 SEASON

We do not hold tryouts. Instead, the coaches watch every prospective player during the winter high school season and invitations are given to the players selected for the Academic Basketball Club.

We would like to make a statement on the matter of rules, compliance and the actions of others that have caused many to take issue with AAU basketball in the macro and with a team or coach in the micro: Not only do we know the rules (both the letter and spirit) we wholeheartedly pledge/endeavor/mandate ourselves to follow them without fail every day that ends in a "y." We maintain a higher standard for ourselves than others expect of us. In all matters, we live by the Golden Rule in addition to Rules #1 and 2.

An AAU program borne of inspiration and desire to fill a need by and for the caring…

Rule #1 – Remember To Have Fun

Rule #2 – Acquiris Quodcumque Rapis

Proper Preparation not only Prevents Poor Performance, it puts us in a position to succeed. That is our goal.

Our basketball players are focused on the end-goal of becoming professionals, at which time basketball will still be played for passion after all their work is done for the day. Like everything they do, they take it seriously and perform with both full effort and enthusiasm. That approach has gotten them to where they are today and is what will drive and motivate them on their own personal roads towards success.

Over the past 11 years, players involved with the programs have gone on to play (or are on their way to playing) at Bowdoin (2), Hamilton, Middlebury, Tufts, Bates, Colby, Wesleyan, Connecticut College (2), Vassar, Swarthmore, Babson, Rochester, Case Western, Carnegie Mellon, Grinnell, Claremont McKenna (3), Kenyon, Union, Clark, Emmanuel, American, Holy Cross, Colgate, RPI and MIT.

In addition to the basketball players, several members are at schools in these same conferences and haven chosen to play a different sport. However they got there, the exclamation mark is on their success in having gotten into the schools of their respective choices.
