Greatfields Basketball Academy

The Greatfields Basketball Academy, led by Coach Stephane Marcel, provides an exciting opportunity for talented student-athletes to develop both on and off the court while studying in our Sixth Form.
Our academy combines high-quality coaching, mentoring and character development with a strong focus on academic success. Students benefit from a performance programme designed to help them reach their potential in basketball while developing the discipline, resilience and time management skills needed to succeed in education and beyond.
Student-athletes have access to:
-
Team training sessions
-
Individual player development
-
Strength and conditioning sessions
-
Competitive fixtures for both boys' and girls' teams in nationally recognised leagues and tournaments
-
Individual and team performance analysis
Expectations
At Greatfields, we believe our players are students first and athletes second. Representing the Basketball Academy is a privilege and students are expected to demonstrate the highest standards both in and out of the classroom.
Selection for training and fixtures is dependent upon students maintaining:
-
A minimum of 94% attendance
-
Excellent punctuality
-
Being on track to achieve their target grades
-
Excellent behaviour and conduct across the school
Failure to meet these expectations may result in students being unable to train or represent the Academy until standards improve.
With dedicated support from our teaching staff, pastoral team and coaching staff, student-athletes are supported to achieve success academically, personally and athletically.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Greatfields Basketball Academy.
