From the blacktops of Philadelphia to courts across the suburbs, Uptown Basketball Academy develops elite players built on grit, discipline, and heart.
We offer year-round camps, clinics, personal training, and a competitive AAU program — giving athletes every opportunity to sharpen their skills and compete at the highest level. Uptown players gain exposure, experience, and a culture of excellence — because the work always travels.

 

Our Story

Born in the heart of Philadelphia, Uptown Basketball Academy began with a small group of dedicated players grinding in local gyms.
Today, we serve communities across Southeastern Pennsylvania — bringing Philly toughness and a relentless work ethic wherever we go.

 

Our Mission

To develop complete basketball players — and better people.
Every drill, rep, and practice builds toughness, discipline, and accountability. From camps and clinics to AAU tournaments, we give athletes the tools to refine their skills, build confidence, and reach their full potential.

 

Our Culture

We don’t chase clout — we chase growth.
Players, coaches, and families are all part of the process. From city gyms to suburban courts, Uptown builds habits, resilience, and a love for the game.
At Uptown Basketball Academy, from the city to the suburbs — the work travels.
