TAKE YOUR GAME TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Next Level Academies are dedicated to the comprehensive development of ambitious student-athletes. Combining elite coaching, top-level facilities, and a wide variety of academic courses that prepare players for higher education or employment, our academies foster an environment where potential is realised and refined and supported through to your 'Next Level'.
Members of our academy program also benefit from inclusion in the London Basketball Showcase, a competitive platform aimed at showcasing the talent of our players to a broad network of coaches and scouts across America and Europe. With high-quality, extensive footage of every play, every player, and every game, the 'Show' magnifies the visibility of our top players, providing them with increased international exposure which in turn, increases post-academy opportunities for all of our players.
For those preferring a more balanced commitment, our 'Junior Varsity' program offers a blend of regular coaching and games. Additionally, we provide the opportunity to earn coaching and officiating qualifications alongside your academic college course of study. This approach ensures your passion for the game can be nurtured and expanded into pathways beyond just playing and is not defined by your playing skills alone, opening a world of possibilities within the realm of basketball. We also have real 'on the job' work experience opportunities within the sport which will give you a step up on your competition if you are interested in basketball related careers after college or university.
Emerging from the successful LSB Academies program, the Next Level model is the culmination of eight transformative years of positive impact across the capital. Throughout this time, we've empowered over 1,000 student-athletes with a fusion of high-level coaching, competitions and holistic academic and vocational courses, in partnership with high-achieving colleges and sixth-forms across London. As we've listened and adapted to the valuable insights from our players, their parents, and our academy partners, the LSB Academies program has evolved and grown. Today, it stands as the Next Level Academy, embodying an enhanced version of its predecessor. Our mission remains the same - to serve our student-athletes and their families better, preparing them to successfully compete at the Next Level, both on the court, in the classroom and throughout life.
