PATHWAYS THROUGH TO THE TOP
The Next Level Hillingdon Basketball Academy is run in partnership with Uxbridge College and the London Cavaliers National League Basketball Club. Based at Uxbridge College, The basketball academy compete as Uxbridge Cavaliers and provide access to an elite basketball training and competitions program, alongside top-quality academic courses for ambitious young players interested in basketball excellence in the West London Borough of Hillingdon.
The Basketball Academy is split into three areas of program development, Varsity, Junior Varsity and Rising Stars squads, for players aged between 16-19.
VARSITY PROGRAM
Our Varsity program is for advanced/elite players and provides intensive skills development, strength and conditioning training, athlete support, guidance, technical individual and team coaching and a minimum of 30 games per season for gifted and talented players, including the opportunity for selection to play on Next Level international travel teams in European competitions - all for free.
Through our partnership with the London Cavaliers, Hillingdon Basketball Academy provides a direct link to the top division of Men's and Women's National League and delivers an excellent opportunity for talented players to train and play alongside professional basketball teams with professional coaches. With strong links to universities throughout Britain and Europe – alongside a bespoke preparation and placement programme for American colleges, players on our Varsity program at Uxbridge will be well positioned to fulfil their basketball ambitions.
JUNIOR VARSITY PROGRAM
Our Junior Varsity program is for experienced/competitive players who are striving to get better and move up 'the ladder' to the Varsity program. Our JV program provides many of the same opportunities as Varsity, with the opportunity for JV players to move up to the top level as their skills develop.
RISING STARS PROGRAM
For those who simply want to continue to learn and play the game, without the time-intensive commitment of the Varsity or Junior Varsity program schedule, we also offer a ‘Rising Stars’ program for early-stage/development players, which provides regular coaching, games and the opportunity to earn coaching qualifications alongside your normal academic college course while still enjoying all the benefits of being a student-athlete at the college.
