Oak Hill Academy Basketball: 5 Teams 1 Legacy

Register for the 2026 Oak Hill Basketball Camp – Click here!

Basketball does not stop at Oak Hill Academy. All 5 teams in our program train throughout the entire school year. Beginning with player evaluations in the first several weeks of the school year, through preseason team training, a competitive season and an active Spring club season schedule, the opportunities for development are constant. Each team has a daily training block, supplemented with opportunities before and after school for additional skill development. All basketball teams are trained in coordination with our Strength and Conditioning staff to ensure maximum physical development, maximize injury prevention, and preparation to succeed at the next level. This is truly an opportunity to combine maximizing athletic potential within an academic and social environment that promotes personal growth. Regardless of the team, a consistent philosophy of player development in a very competitive environment provides the chance to be the best at getting better.
