LIFE League Basketball Academy - Fall 2026 Cohort

The LIFE League Basketball Academy is a 7-week basketball education program designed for student-athletes in Grades 3–8 who are ready to take their understanding of the game to the next level.

Unlike traditional training programs that focus primarily on skill development, the Academy teaches players how to think the game through a unique combination of classroom instruction, on-court application, and live competition.

Over 21 Academy Sessions, student-athletes will develop Basketball IQ, improve decision-making, and learn offensive and defensive concepts they can immediately apply in game situations.

Every Academy Week Includes:

🧠 Basketball IQ Session – Learn the concepts behind the game.

🏀 Court Lab – Apply those concepts through purposeful drills and guided instruction.

🏆 Game Day – Compete in live play while demonstrating what you’ve learned.

Throughout the Academy, players will receive a Basketball IQ Workbook, full academy uniform, Academy T-shirt, Basketball IQ assessments, and a progress evaluation designed to measure growth in basketball intelligence—not just statistics.
