THE BASKETBALL ACADEMY INVITATIONAL COMBINE
The first Basketball Academy Invitational Combine was held at The Patrick School the first weekend of June. Thirty hand picked basketball players were invited to this event as a pilot program for the The Patrick School Training Academy. During the two day combine the players got to train with trainers like DJ Sackman, Delson and Pete Marston on the court as well as Al-Fatir Connor in the Kyrie Irving Fitness Center. In order to educate the whole athlete there we also lectures about subjects like NCAA eligibility and Nutrition.
The combine was featured on NJ Hoop Recruit and other media.

“The Basketball Academy Invitational Combine or NJBAIC was a great experience. I learned a lot of from all of the instructors and trainers that was there. The combine was ran very efficiently, packed with tons of talent, the 5 on 5 games was very competitive. It was two days of competing and giving it your all, and I enjoyed every second of it. I want to thank everyone that made this experience possible. This was one of the best events I attended this year, and looking forward to be there next year. ”
“The combine was the best I have ever been to. I learned so much from all the trainers. Many small details that I had never thought about. I also learned a lot from the lectures. For example to make sure I manage my time. I liked that there were different trainers to teach us different things. Not just regular drills. But the best thing with the combine was still the games. I liked playing with all the high level players and use what we had learned during the day. I would rate this weekend a 10 out of 10. ”
