Plymouth Patriots Basketball Foundation

​​

Our exclusive Plymouth Patriots Academy programme incorporates high quality, professional basketball training with rigorous academic study. Our students train for basketball across the week and are coached by Patriots coaches and players. This academy forms a part of the heartbeat of our school with home games played on Wednesday afternoons and the Patriots’ Academy team performance is showcased for all to see.

 

Our students complete three A levels alongside their training schedule and there is intensive support to prepare students for specialist sporting careers. Highly qualified staff support students to apply for USA scholarships and our close links with Plymouth Marjon University ensure that students can also progress on to sports coaching and sports development degrees whilst continuing to play for the Patriots Plymouth Marjon University team.
