As a new season tips off for Athletes in Action’s Residential Academy, excitement is high and expectations are even higher. After a remarkable year that saw the AIA Prep National Team earn a national ranking and make its mark on the prep basketball landscape, the program is ready to build on that success and reach even greater heights.
This year marks not just the return of a proven powerhouse, but the beginning of a new era—the introduction of the AIA Prep Regional Team. This inaugural squad expands the academy’s footprint and provides more opportunities for high-level players to train, compete, and grow within AIA’s holistic environment that integrates faith, character, and athletic excellence.
Both teams will benefit from elite-level coaching and player development all within the unique culture that defines Athletes in Action. Players live, train, and study on the AIA campus in Xenia, Ohio—immersed in a setting that challenges them to grow in their game, their faith, and their purpose.
The season ahead is filled with opportunity, as the National Team returns key talent and welcomes a fresh group of players ready to contribute. Meanwhile, the new Regional Team brings additional depth to the program, giving more athletes a chance to compete against top-tier prep competition across the country.
As AIA Prep tips off the new season, the mission remains clear: to use the sport as a platform to develop complete athletes—mentally, physically, and spiritually—while continuing to raise the standard for Christian athletic excellence.
Follow along this season as AIA Prep Basketball writes the next chapter in its story of growth, competition, and transformation.
