There is no better way to improve your skills than by attending the Progressive Academies! These sessions are intended for players who are seriously looking to improve their skill level. Participants will be divided into age and skill appropriate groups, and will be pushed to significantly improve. Each player will receive a weekly workout, which they will be expected to do on their own an additional 2-3 times per week!  6:1 player to coach ratio!!!

OSA Basketball Academies

Description: As Roy Williams, head coach of North Carolina says, ”teams are made during the season and players are made during the offseason!”  There is no better way to improve your skills than by attending basketball academy sessions at the OSA!!!  Players will learn the most intricate of skills from our highly qualified staff comprised of OSA professional staff, high school varsity coaches, and the areas best instructors.

Players will be divided into age and skill appropriate groups.  Academies are  for the player who is serious about taking his or her game to the next level! Participants will enjoy our low coach to player ratio and individual attention that they receive each session.

Academies are considered progressive, meaning that each day will build on the previous day and each month will build on the month before that. Therefore, you can be assured that your child will be learning new things each time they attend.  First timers will generally be grouped with first timers, and those who have been attending for a longer period will be grouped with our more advanced academians!

We take pride in helping your child in becoming the best that they can be!!!
