The Next Level Enfield Basketball Academy is run in partnership with CCCG Sports and is based at the College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London (COHENEL).  The Enfield based full-service basketball academy competes as the COHENEL Warriors and provides an elite basketball training and competitions program, alongside top-quality academic courses for ambitious young players interested in basketball excellence in North London.

Led by US college and professional basketball star player and coach, AJ Roberts, the Academy is committed to providing the very best basketball environment for both elite and developing players alike.  As a decorated and widely respected player, our Head Coach knows what it takes to be successful at every level of the game and is passionate about passing on his knowledge, skills and 'know-how' to the next generation of players at our Enfield Academy.  In 2023, he did just that - in leading COHENEL to the AoC National Championship, cementing the Academies place amongst the very top sporting colleges in the country.

Our mission at  Enfield Academy is to guide and support every player through to becoming the very best version of themselves they can be, both on and off the court, then helping place them in the best situation for their success after they graduate from the college.

Our teams compete in the Colleges Basketball League (CBL Tier 2), AOC (current AOC National Champions) and the Community Basketball League (Division 1 & 2) - providing more than 50 games per season for our teams.  In  addition, our Varsity team compete in international invitational tournaments overseas, giving our players invaluable experiences playing against international competition as we prepare our players for the next level.
