For minority student-athletes, basketball scholarships can be a ticket to a better future - but only if you have fulfilled the necessary academic requirements. The national Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has established academic guidelines for scholarship-athletes in Propositions 48 and 16. If you can't meet these guidelines, your scholarship can be denied - and that's before you even start college. Once you're in, earning your degree will take you at least four years of hard academic work. That's why P.L.A.Y. emphasizes these skills above everything else.

At P.L.A.Y's summer session, you'll also play basketball - from morning workouts to skills training to competitive games. Our coaches concentrate on new skills and fundamentals: rebounding; boxing out and pitching out; one-on-one moves facing the basket; back-to-basket low post moves; ball handling; dribbling; post defense; shooting; screening; passing; and making good decisions under pressure situations.
