WE ARE CONNECTING WITH STUDENTS IN CENTRAL ALABAMA

We do this by providing programs that measurably improve their math and reading while engaging them in sports to build character.

OUR BASIC CURRICULUM BRINGS SPORTS AND GAMES TO THE CLASSROOM

BASIC brings sports and games to the classroom through reading, math, and STEM lessons that differ from the traditional school day. Our unique methodology keeps students engaged by rotating every 45 minutes from indoor academic lessons to outdoor sports instruction.
