About The Gillion Academy
Developing young men through academics, athletics, and life preparation.
Elite Development. Real Mentorship. Proven Results.
At The Gillion Academy, basketball is more than a sport—it’s a foundation for discipline, leadership, and long-term success. Our year-round training program is designed for serious student-athletes who are committed to growth—on the court and off.
With guidance from former Division I and professional coaches, players receive top-tier skill development in a highly structured, mentor-led environment.
20+ Hours of Weekly Elite Training
Players at Gillion train daily in a system that mirrors the intensity and structure of the college and professional level. Each week includes:
Ball handling, finishing, footwork, and situational reads
NBA half-court team development sessions
Strength, speed, and plyometric training
Film study and basketball analytics
Daily shooting reps on our Dr. Dish Shooting System
Recovery and mobility work integrated into training blocks
Optional early bird and extra shooting hours
The Dr. Dish system allows players to get thousands of quality reps weekly, tracking their progress, form, and consistency with precision. It reinforces Gillion’s belief in deliberate, data-informed development.
Professional Coaching Staff
Our coaches bring experience from NCAA Division I, international, and professional basketball. But more importantly, they bring mentorship, leadership, and high expectations.
What makes Gillion unique is that most of our coaches are also part of our academic team. They lead both in the classroom and on the court, building long-term relationships that drive accountability, character, and performance.
Competitive Schedule: Local, National & International
Gillion student-athletes compete in games and tournaments against top talent across the region, country, and select international circuits. Each player is placed within a developmentally appropriate team (Middle School, High School, or Prep), with an emphasis on growth over glory—development comes first.
