Gifted Athletes Program
Athletics
Not every basketball player that graduates from a boarding
school goes on to be the next Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant or Steve Nash. But,
each one of these players will tell you that attending their respective
boarding high schools, is what catapulted their learning, maturation process and
to them most importantly, their basketball skills. From 1995-2005 over 35 high
school basketball players were drafted from high school straight to the NBA.
Over 95% of those athletes attended some form of non public education during
their high school years.
Genesis Academy will assist our
athlete’s to grow personally in ways that uniquely prepare them for the public
eye. With a comprehensive basketball skills and development program, each
player will learn the basic fundamentals needed to maximize themselves to their
fullest potential. With very specific strength and conditioning techniques, the
nuances of the game will also be a focus as each player develops. Being perfectly
nestled in the heart of ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) country, as well as
many Big East and SEC schools, our players will be provided a high level
schedule, and a platform in which they can showcase their gifts and compete for
an Ncaa Division 1 scholarships.
Unlike typical formats of public education, these players
will be in an environment where they all share the same goal. Learning to be
accountable to one another on and off the court, will truly build core values
and long lasting relationships. Sharing in this common goal will give each
student athlete a sense of pride in their school and most importantly
themselves.
“We look to attract gifted athletes, who are driven to excel in
their sport as well as in life!”
