NCAA Basketball Academy

About the Individual Pathway

In the Individual Pathway, up to 300 men’s and up to 300 women’s prospective student-athletes will receive individual invitations to attend the Academies following a self-nomination process. Head coaches from all 360+ Division I basketball programs will vote for players in a central nomination portal, and the College Basketball Academies’ Advisory Board will also have input on selections. For details on the selection process and to learn how a prospective student-athlete can self-nominate themselves for consideration, stay tuned for more info.  
 




 

At the Academies, players invited via this pathway will be placed on teams and compete in games. The men’s and women’s events will each feature 24 total Academy teams of eight or nine prospective student-athletes and two Academy coaches.  

Academy coaching staffs will be composed of Divisions II and III, NAIA and Junior College men’s and women’s college basketball coaches and high school coaches. The Divisions II and III, NAIA and Junior College coaches and high school coaches will be nominated and selected by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA). (All NCAA College Basketball Academy staff will be required to obtain a USA Basketball Gold License.) 

Both players and their chaperones will attend life skills seminars.
