360° Skills Academy empowers youth to define and accomplish their goals by leveraging sport as a spark for academic, social, professional, and athletic achievement.

We focus on skill development...between and beyond the lines.



STEM

Jobs in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) fields are among the fastest growing globally. Yet many youth will not be equipped with the skills necessary to fulfill those jobs. We use sports to increase engagement and help youth better understand STEM-related concepts.

i

LITERACY

Millions of youth lack basic reading and writing skills. We use sports to connect youth to material that inspires them to read for comprehension and enjoyment, while developing critical thinking and communication skills.



ATHLETICS

Only 1 in 3 youth are physically active every day. We eliminate the barriers to participating in youth sports, whether kids are interested in playing at a highly competitive level or simply interested in the social and recreational aspects of their chosen game.

360° keeps youth physically and mentally engaged by connecting the court and classroom.

DEVELOPING YOUTH BEYOND THE BUZZER

As Students

We build complete student-athletes, inspired to excel in the classroom. We take the boredom out of academics, using sports to translate academic concepts to youth in ways they may be more receptive to understanding.

Z

As Leaders

360° helps prepare future leaders through lessons that develop skills such as communication, public speaking, problem solving, financial literacy, self efficacy, goal setting, decision making, time management and teamwork.

Z

As Athletes

Our premier sports training prioritizes fundamental skill development and passion for the game. Our coaches also assist student-athletes in their mental understanding of the game, helping youth develop confidence, instincts, and discipline…skills that translate off the court/field.

This program taught my son that there is more to basketball than just playing, and more to life than just basketball.

The biggest thing about 360° is the staff and coaches care. They came up in the same situations and used sports to get where they are so the kids see it’s real.
