  • INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE PLANS (IPP). Our focus is having every student-athlete realize their full potential. Therefore, a significant portion of our on-court time is dedicated to IPP practices.
    Every student-athlete undergoes periodic athletic testing throughout the year, starting with a baseline test we track improvement in agility, speed, body measurements, strength, endurance, shooting, passing, finishing, etc.
  • HIGH PERFORMANCE BASKETBALL TRAINING. Our Basketball Prep School Program on-court training centers around IPP practices and team development training is lead by our NCCP and NCAA certified coaches.
    This systematically planned daily training approach yields outstanding results maximizing the growth potential of our student-athletes.
  • ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE TRAINING. Our Basketball Prep School Program prioritizes quality athletic performance training, sports medicine education and care for our athletes. Each 3 hours of daily training is divided into athletic performance training based on IPPs.
  • ELITE COMPETITION. Uchenna Academy’s Basketball Prep School team will compete in several prep circuits, showcases and/or tournaments during the year.
  • We host national scouts and University coaches at our school, during practices and home games.
  • For our International team, approximately 50% of our games are played in the United States, providing maximum exposure to University and College coaches as well as national scouting services.
  • All our games are recorded, so every student-athlete has an abundance of film to enhance their recruitment portfolio. Film is used as an additional teaching tool. You will not find a more comprehensive Basketball Prep School in Toronto.

Education is centred around academic and athletic scholarships. Realistic goals are set for each student and benchmarks are put in place to ensure they are on the right track to reach their academic goals.
