About

The Wayne McClain Pipeline Foundation introduces a new addition to our foundation: The Basketball Preparatory Academy! This program is designed to present recent high school graduates with an opportunity for exposure to a unique basketball philosophy, developmental skill instruction and all that is great in the world of basketball. The goal at the Wayne McClain Pipeline Basketball Preparatory Academy (WMBA) is simple: to help our players learn to compete at the college level while also helping them mature into responsible adults. This initiative is in direct alignment with the teachings, beliefs and legacy of Coach Wayne McClain .

Our post graduate program (WMBA) is for athletes who have completed their high school education but need more exposure or experience in order to earn a scholarship or make a collegiate team. A player's level of skill is often determined by offensive and defensive basketball I.Q., work ethic, and athletic ability. Paying attention to detail and transitioning those attributes positively and consistently during games will produce a confidence among recruiters to fill in their positional needs with our basketball academy's talent.

Athletics Highlights

A player's level of skill is often determined by offensive and defensive basketball I.Q., work ethic, and athletic ability. Paying attention to detail and transitioning those attributes positively and consistently during games will produce a confidence among recruiters to fill in their positional needs with our basketball academy's talent. This program allows athletes to take advantage of a post year to improve weaknesses, while competing against other top prep, juco, and NIAA programs across the nation without losing any of their 4 year eligibility. After a 25+ game schedule, players will have the experience and confidence to compete at the next level. If a player's motivation is a scholarship, the WMPBPA will assist them by pushing, pointing, and supporting their path to reach their dreams. We set the bar for our players high, allowing them to take on the responsibilities of professionalism to produce and perform consistently in competitive environments.

Our experience with this basketball program has been nothing short of phenomenal! As a parent, watching my child grow both on and off the court has been incredibly rewarding. The program provides the perfect balance of rigorous skill development and personal growth. The trainers focus on enhancing basketball I.Q., work ethic, and sportsmanship, preparing players for the collegiate level and beyond. The supportive environment helps players mature into responsible adults, making it not just about sports but life skills. The attention to detail and personalized guidance have truly instilled confidence in my child. I couldn't be happier with the progress we've seen, and I'm grateful for the opportunities it has opened up for their future.
