WE ARE UPREP!!
UPREP was created to support student-athletes beyond just coaching and game time. Many students encounter challenges outside the classroom and have limited access to support, exposure, and guidance during crucial years. What began as a grassroots AAU basketball program is transitioning into a comprehensive prep academy that nurtures the whole student—mind, body, and character. We founded UPREP because we believe every young athlete deserves a village, a vision, and a voice.
