Athletics At VB Academy Prep

Personal growth is the most important aspect of a post graduate year. Our program is designed to emulate the daily routine of a college basketball environment. We want our athletes to be fully prepared and comfortable when they arrive on campus as freshman. Our basketball program is coached by individuals who have firsthand knowledge and requirements to not only make a college roster, but how to succeed and earn playing time once there. We play against the top post graduate and junior college talent in the country. Our national schedule allows us to increase our athlete’s exposure to collegiate coaches across the country while at the same time gaining in-game experience against college level competition and maintaining all four years of NCAA college eligibility.

Our Philosophy

Our athletic program is designed to maximize athletes’ overall potential as collegiate prospects. We do this by focusing on three key aspects; player fundamentals, physical fitness, and most importantly mental toughness. College coaches at all levels are looking for players who can make an immediate impact on their program. Incoming freshman have an uphill battle in their first year. This challenge entails both the adjustment to the physicality of the college game and the learning curve of the team concepts required to play at the next level. We teach our players what it means to be a part of a system and hold them accountable to the same standards that will be expected at the next level.

What To Expect

Expect to play and train year-round with some of the most experienced and expert coaches from around the united states. Individualized conditioning and strength training are instrumental in the success of our program. We will cultivate and improve the dexterity and skills of our athletes. This will include weight room training and technical skill instruction. Helping your abilities and skills to the next level 24/7.

Life At VB Academy

Breakfast

Nutrition has a crucial role in athlete’s endeavors and their performance. At VB Academy, every player may be analyzed if requested by the player and their diet is fine tuned to meet specific requirement, if sports nutritionist recommends a specific diet for each player. We are also able to respond to each and every demand in terms of nutrition, be it religious, cultural or lifestyle related.

Player education and guidance towards a proper diet are brought to perfection at the VB Academy. Theoretic lectures about sports nutrition are part of this program, where great emphasis is placed on the importance of keeping the acquired eating habits throughout the year.

Strength Conditioning

 

This program offers you a combination of expert strength instructions and a lot of hours spent on the field and weight room. We do not accept average performances, and we always push players to give their best. With more than 20 hours of practice per week, we tend to find extra time for players who need special attention. Athletes will exercise a series of intensive drills that will simulate NCAA college and professional practices. We cater individually to our players weaknesses by dissecting game film, eliminating bad tendencies and expanding their mental capacity. This is done in a one-on-one setting.
