Upward Christian Prep is a one of kind experience for young women (17–21yrs) from Australia and New Zealand who are serious about basketball and life. Set in peaceful bayside bushland, it combines college-style basketball training with personal growth and career preparation—developing every student as both an athlete and a person.
Students can attend by day or live on campus in a supportive, values-driven community and train under coaches with collegiate and professional experience. Beyond basketball, they receive career and recruitment support—film, resumes, outreach strategies—and guided coaching to map their pathway forward. Structured study blocks, reliable internet, and wellbeing coaching ensure progress in both academics and life.
Our promise: you’ll leave stronger on court, clearer off court, and ready to pursue representative or college basketball opportunities.
