The NCAA has announced the coaches who will participate in the Individual Pathway of the 2023 NCAA College Basketball Academy in Memphis, Tennessee, which will take place July 24-31.
Divisions II and III, NAIA and junior college men’s and women’s basketball coaches, as well as high school coaches, will make up the academy coaching staffs. The coaches for the men’s academy were chosen in collaboration with the NCAA by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association assisted the application process for member coaches to work at the academy.
The men’s College Basketball Academy will be held July 24-27, while the women’s academy will be held July 28-31.During this time, NCAA Division I coaches are only permitted to visit the College Basketball Academy for assessment purposes.
The academies will provide aspiring men’s and women’s basketball players a taste of the college basketball experience. These summer development academies combine high-level basketball competition with life skills teaching.
Participants and their parents or chaperones will attend life skills courses about NCAA eligibility and compliance, the recruiting process, name, image, and likeness opportunities, agents, the Transfer Portal, and the pathway to professional basketball opportunities, in addition to participating in games.
Prospective men’s and women’s basketball student-athletes can participate in the NCAA College Basketball Academies by qualifying via one of three pathways:
- The National Pathway includes: USA Basketball’s under 17 3×3 junior national team trials and training camp, as well as Canada Basketball’s NextGen national team training camp (junior national team training camp). USA Basketball and Canada Basketball will select participants for each of their events in this pathway.
- The Team Pathway features the U.S. Open Basketball Championships at the NCAA College Basketball Academy, which is USA Basketball’s premier 5-on-5 youth national championships. Twenty-four rising 11th grade and 24 rising 10th grade travel teams will earn the right to participate in the U.S. Open Basketball Championships via USA Basketball-approved qualifying events.
- In the Individual Pathway, NCAA Division I basketball head coaches will be able to vote to select up to 400 players from the classes of 2024, 2025 and 2026 for both the men’s and women’s academy to be placed on teams and compete in games.
