The IMG Academy basketball program provides the most unique and effective training environment in the basketball world today.

Focusing on the individual player, we build skill sets from the ground up by giving players the tools they need to compete against higher level competition. Teaching both fundamental and advanced techniques and tactics, our coaching staff is able to bring out the best in each athlete.

Led by Director Kenny Natt, a former NBA head coach and player, the program utilizes a multiphased approach to player development that includes player evaluation, positionspecific skill instruction and competition, IMG Academy is a proven destination for players seeking improvement.

The boys’ program includes multiple teams (Post-Grad, National, Junior National and Developmental) and compete against a variety of local, regional, statewide and national competition, depending on the team.

Within the team setting, players learn more than the fundamentals -– they learn how to dominate the game and how to lead a team to victory.

“Training at IMG Academy helped me showcase my abilities during the pre- Draft process and eventually becoming a New York Knick. I continue to grow in my transition to being an NBA player by using IMG Academy as my offseason training base.” -- Iman Shumpert, No. 17 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft
