Scholar Athletes
All American Basketball Academy

Scholar Athletes, located in Southern California is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization whose primary objective is developing and enhancing the body, mind, and spirit with specific focuses on youth between the ages of 8 to 18 years old. The primary goal of all Scholar Athletes plans, programs, and resources is to develop student athletes. We strive to meet the individual needs of each student athlete by providing safe and structured basketball opportunities. 

Scholar Athletes will: 

·         Support academic achievement and personal goal setting. 

·         Enhance athletic ability by teaching fundamentals and providing opportunities to compete at a very high level.    

·         Maximize the athletic potential of each athlete that participates in our training programs.  

·         Provide mentoring and counseling opportunities for each scholar athlete to reach their dreams of attending college and playing at the next level.   

·         Focus on the long term development of athletes. 

Scholar Athletes is a newly non-profit organization founded by Gregg Scott.  Our organization is designed to allow young people the opportunity to develop personally while participating in team sports. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive set of academic and athletic services to all so that student athletes may successfully reach a productive adulthood. We anticipate many of our student athletes will go on to earn academic and athletic scholarships to college.  Our mission is to teach the fundamentals of basketball by unleashing and nurturing the intelligence and positive energy to realize their dreams through academic excellence, athletic accomplishment, and leadership development. As our motto states we are in many ways Seeking Excellence on and off the court. 

What makes Scholar Athletes different from other programs is our diversity and ability to give young people a higher level of personal and athletic development, not just an opportunity to play basketball. We use basketball as a metaphor for life. Using the pursuit of athletic excellence as our platform, we teach young people leadership traits and character development that will help them make the right decisions about their futures while exposing them to the highest level of competition locally, regionally, and nationally. 

Through our travel teams, our aim is to expose our players to top level competition and to eventually obtain athletic or academic scholarships to college. The education component of our program uses the relationship with athletics as our foundation for reaching and teaching Scholar Athletes.  

Our mission is to unleash the intelligence and athletic ability of scholar athletes to achieve their academic and athletic goals beyond high school.  Our aim is to address the need to foster a higher level of academic and athletic skills for student athletes so that they may reach their maximum potential on and off the court.
