ABOUT US
Bradley Basketball Academy
HISTORY
After years of coaching in the area, Coach Bradley noticed local programs did not teach the game of basketball. Most coaches tell a player to take action without informing the player why they are doing it.
The "why" is equally important as the action. Coach Bradley identifies the "why" and explains the game to youth in easy to explain terms. His goal is to put each player on the floor in position to be successful regardless of their individual skill level.
Bradley Basketball Academy is a select basketball program for youth of all ages. We offer year round one on one, small group and team training, specifically designed for the skill set of each player or team.
Bradley Basketball Academy was formed in 2018 with the sole purpose of teaching fundamental skills of the game of basketball to youth in the Austin area.
