Where Preparation Meets Purpose.

At University Prep Academy, we do more than educate—we build young men into leaders. Founded with the vision of empowering student-athletes to succeed beyond sports, UPrep is a private college and life preparation program that supports young men on their journey from adolescence to adulthood.

We blend academic rigor, elite athletic training, personal mentorship, and community engagement to create a holistic, character-driven experience. UPREP is where student-athletes discover who they are, define their goals, and prepare to leave a lasting legacy.

📖 Our Story

UPREP was born out of the need to serve student-athletes with more than coaching and game time. Many young men face challenges that extend beyond the classroom and court, limited access to support, exposure, and guidance during some of life’s most critical years. What started as a grassroots AAU basketball program has grown into a comprehensive prep academy model that nurtures the whole student, mind, body, and character. We created UPREP because we believe every young man deserves a village, a vision, and a voice.
