OUR
TEAM
Most sought out youth trainer in the country Tion Watkins, is owner and founder of Beyond Basketball Academy.
Beyond Basketball Academy was born from his own experiences growing up in the game particularly witnessing the political side of basketball that often leaves talented players overlooked and families, especially single parents, without guidance.
Tion and his staff recognized a deep need for something more than just training. They wanted to create a space that not only focuses on developing players the right way from basic fundamentals to advanced game IQ but also supports and educates parents, especially single mothers, who may not fully understand the ins and outs of the basketball world.
