Boys & Girls Basketball
“Don’t you know that the runners in a stadium all race, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize.” — 1 Corinthians 9:24 (CSB)
At Spring Baptist Academy, our boys and girls basketball program gives students in grades 6th through 12th the opportunity to grow as athletes and followers of Christ. We believe basketball is more than a game. It is a platform to build discipline, develop leadership, and glorify God through hard work, humility, and teamwork.
Competing with Purpose
Our Royals teams compete in HAPS and TCAL leagues during the winter season. Players learn not only the fundamentals of offense and defense but also the importance of honoring God in their attitude, sportsmanship, and effort.
Whether dribbling down the court or encouraging a teammate from the bench, our students are taught to give their best as an act of worship to the Lord.
“Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people.” - Colossians 3:23 (CSB)
Tryouts and Team Placement
Basketball season begins with team tryouts, where students are evaluated on skill level, effort, and coachability. These tryouts help place athletes on junior high or high school teams where they can best grow and contribute. Our goal is to help every student develop and thrive, regardless of their starting point.
Seasonal Basketball Camps
To prepare students and build foundational skills, SBA offers on-campus basketball camps throughout the year.
-
Preseason Skills Camp
Open to returning players and new athletes looking to elevate their performance. This camp focuses on advanced drills, conditioning, court awareness, and game preparation. -
Intro to Basketball Camp
Designed for younger or first-time players, this camp teaches fundamental basketball skills in a fun and encouraging environment. Students learn the basics of shooting, passing, defense, and teamwork while developing a love for the game.
Both camps provide technical instruction and spiritual encouragement to help students grow as athletes and as disciples of Christ.
Faith, Grit, and Growth
SBA basketball emphasizes character as much as competition. Our coaches disciple students to be courageous, unselfish, and Christlike leaders. Practices begin with prayer or devotions, and players are consistently reminded that their identity is found in Christ, not in stats or wins.
“Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong. Do everything in love.” - 1 Corinthians 16:13–14 (CSB)
More Than a Team
Our basketball program creates a family atmosphere where students are known, challenged, and supported. Through intense practices, shared victories, and lessons learned in defeat, players form meaningful relationships and memories that last long after the final buzzer.
