​STEPHENS ELITE IS TAKING BASKETBALL DEVELOPMENT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

We are incredibly excited to officially announce THE FIVE ACADEMY, a new basketball skill-development experience created through a partnership between Stephens Elite + Incline.

And we believe strongly: TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE. Two programs. More coaches. More knowledge. More energy. More competition.
More opportunities for your athlete to get better.

WELCOME TO THE FIVE ACADEMY

The Five Academy is designed for athletes who want to WORK, COMPETE, and DEVELOP.

This isn’t just another basketball workout.

It’s a high-energy, high-repetition training environment focused on the skills that actually translate to the game.

 

We’ll attack:

Ball handling & creating separation

Shooting & shot creation
Finishing & scoring around the rim
Footwork, speed & change of direction
Passing & decision-making
Defense & defensive movement
Rebounding & physicality
Basketball IQ & reading the game
Game-speed situations & competition

The goal?

Build players who can actually PLAY — not just players who can perform drills.

 

HERE’S WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

One of the biggest advantages of bringing Stephens Elite + Incline together is the number of coaches we’ll have on the floor.

That means we can create strong coach-to-athlete ratios and give athletes something incredibly valuable:

ATTENTION.

More individual coaching.
More feedback.
More reps.
More corrections.
More opportunities to ask questions.
More time with the ball in their hands.

Less standing around. More getting better.

STARTING OCTOBER 5

ELEMENTARY
Mondays & Wednesdays
4:00–5:00 PM

 

MIDDLE SCHOOL + HIGH SCHOOL

SPOTS WILL BE LIMITED!

We want to keep our coach-to-athlete ratios where they need to be, so space will be limited.

Don’t wait to register!

Get your athlete registered ASAP before spots fill up!

We are SO excited to bring this opportunity to our Stephens Elite athletes and families. We can’t wait to see these athletes in the gym, putting

in the work, developing their skills, and taking their game to another level.

STEPHENS ELITE × INCLINE

SAME GAME. HIGHER STANDARDS.

Let’s get in the gym.
Let’s get to work.
