MISSION STATEMENT:
To use our knowledge and teaching ability to teach fundamental basketball skills and concepts in a positive manner that develops a player in all phases: mentally, physically, and personally.
HISTORY
Established in 2008 by legendary Coach Ronnie Stapler and now directed by former NCAA Division I Coach Scott Stapler, the Alabama Basketball Academy offers the opportunity to improve your skills and knowledge of the game of basketball. Our training programs are available for male and female players on all levels – age 7 through the Pros. Staying true to our foundation of teaching, WE want the Alabama Basketball Academy to become a destination for basketball players who want to become highly skilled and learn how to play the game.
VISION
In our nearly 60 years combined as basketball coaches, we have seen the levels of athleticism and strength INCREASE immensely and skill levels dramatically DECREASE. The result of this relationship is that the USA no longer dominates the game of basketball. How do we gain our advantage back? We have to get back to developing skills and recognizing the importance of a skilled player. The ideal player is skilled and athletic, but a skilled player brings as much to a team as one who is only athletic. WE want to become a destination for basketball players who want to become highly skilled and learn how to play the game. WE want those who train with the Alabama Basketball Academy to develop a love for basketball, a passion for working to improve, and the toughness and persistence required to maximize their God-given abilities.
FACILITY
We are located in the back gym at the southeast YMCA – 1000 Weatherly Road, Huntsville, AL 35802. We have 7 baskets to allow for plenty of reps.
