OUR VISION
It is our goal to create the best possible conditions for all of our student athletes to reach their potential both on the academic and athletic field, as well as achieve personal growth.
ISA is a multicultural sports academy focused on developing young talented players, provide them with exposure and give them a chance to continue their education at the NCAA level.
We are devoted in providing elite conditions for our student athletes both on and off the court. From our dormitory, to our basketball gym availability, to nutrition, all of it follows NCAA standards.
Queen size beds for each player allows them to rest well and prepare for the next day.
Leave your room, walk down the hallway, and get in the gym any time. The gym in our dorm is that convenient.
Nutrition is an extremely important aspect for a healthy growth and we take it very seriously. We provide a variety of meals.
