The Arizona Preps Basketball / Recruiting Academy (Featuring Arizona Preps Basketball Scout Anthony Ray) was a huge success in Prescott Valley, Arizona, in November. The Academy will be making it's return to Prescott Valley again on Saturday, May 1st, 2021 from 12PM to 4PM @ 9030 Florentine Road, Prescott Valley, AZ 86314 @ Canyon View Prep Academy.

The Basketball Academy will be provided for individual prospects (Boys & Girls), and will be limited to 50 Prospects per/session for boys and girls (Ages 13 to 18). The cost for each participant will be $50 per session per participant. We also INVITE Parents to attend the sessions as well. Cost for Parents of participants is FREE.
The Basketball Academy is the first academy of it's kind in the state - designed to provide players and parents invaluable information on how the college basketball recruiting process operates, and how to understand the unknown recruiting process.

Each Academy will be operated by a past or present NCAA College Coach, and will be held at various high schools around the valley by request of the high school program.
The college basketball recruiting process has been around for decades, but is still a mystery especially to those going through it for the first time. Arizona Preps' goal is to help educate attendees on the ins and outs of the recruiting process, which in turn will help them make an informed decision when choosing which college to further their basketball career. Whether you currently have zero interests from colleges or high interest from numerous colleges, the Arizona Prep’s Basketball Academy has information that can be beneficial to you. Learn firsthand from people who have gone through this process themselves as a player and from others who deal with the process on a yearly basis. Participants will be given steps on how to increase their college basketball recruitment, assess what level they are capable of playing at, best ways on how to communicate with college coaches and much more. The Academy will also teach valuable life skills that will allow participants to be recruited in life for a career in the future.
The Problem We Are Facing
You are 1 of 8,500 (boys) / 6,500 (Girls) high school basketball players in the state of Arizona. The majority of these players share the same goal as you: playing college basketball. Being able to separate from the masses and gain attention from colleges can be a difficult feat in its self.
The Solution
Attending Arizona Preps Basketball / Recruiting Academy will allow participants to experience a personal hands on approach to the college recruiting process. In depth break down of discussion topics will leave participants (players and parents) with no doubt on what they need to do in their own recruitment journey.
