Mission
Workhorse Academy is committed to providing the highest quality of professional basketball training for youth and young adults seeking to unlock their full athletic potential. We teach skills in an unbiased, progressive and innovative manner. The “workhorse” approach allows us to isolate and break down each and every basketball skill to the most basic level providing accessibility and ensuring optimal athletic development.
Philosophy
Workhorse Academy believes the best athletes possess a strong foundation in basketball fundamentals and are highly skilled in technique and footwork. We also believe the strongest athletes not only mature physically and athletically but also through the development and implementation of core values. We recognize that our youngest athletes need support on and off the court. Support is crucial in social and academic areas such as education, stress, emotional management and execution of strong decision-making skills. We believe in the power and importance of working collaboratively with families, schools, and community resources in order to ensure our athletes are on the road to athletic and personal success.
