4. We Are…..
Why CCSE PREP?
9-12th Grade College Prep
In today’s climate of high school IB & Leadership Academy
athletics and high education, it is only Elite Basketball Program
imperative that we see how rare and Community Stewardship
unique this opportunity is to blend the
two manifests. This is why it is crucial
for programs like CCSE PREP to exist.
OUR POSITIVE ACADEMIC CULTURE
The CCSE PREP’s boarding and classroom culture will
emphasize a belief that students must put forth “effective
effort”—working hard, with clear goals, and strategies derived
from feedback—which will determine their success. In daily
morning roundtable, children will learn the concepts and tools
of effective effort, as provided by their professors. They will
also learn the social skills that will equip them to be
responsible members of the school community.
5. “Our National High School program has one goal, a National & World Championship”
We develop the best basketball players in the country, but Predators Basketball is
about team and winning. Our roster is filled with top players from around the globe
who come to CCSE Prep to experience what playing for a college program is all about.
Our daily schedule, individual workouts, academic study table and time management
is structured exactly like a high major college and professional program. When
student-athletes leave CCSE Prep they are prepared to succeed at the highest level.
6. History Of Programs Like Ours
Back in the day… a kid would play pickup ball in the sport of their choice around the
neighborhood. When they decided they liked a sport enough to pursue it further, they
would go play for a local club team (it was the basketball team at the Eastside Boys
Club in Tacoma for me, with Lawyer Milloy being a teammate). Uniforms might be paid
for by a local sponsor (Spud’s Pizza), but travel and other expenses were handled by
the parents. Sometimes we would sell candy bars or do car washes to help fund
equipment or for a big tournament.
7. When high school began, the expectations and stress of playing sports
increased. Your high school was your first priority. Then came the advent of
the internet and digital cable and everything changed. Suddenly everyone was
checking on the status of all the possible recruits who might come to their
alma mater. Recruiting websites popped up like weeds in a fallow field.
Suddenly people were watching high schoolers in “All-Star” games on ESPN
hoping this player or that would enroll at their school of choice or be drafted
by their favorite professional team. The professionalization of high school
sports had begun…In 2006, Auto-dealer magnate Cliff Findlay created Findlay
Prep. The plan was simple. Buy a house in his hometown of Henderson, NV. Fill
it with 10 of the best high school players in the country (the world
even), travel the country playing dozens of games and logging thousands of
miles, and get the attention of the national media. His plan succeeded beyond
anyone’s wildest dreams!
8. While prep schools such as South Kent Prep in Connecticut have been
known for their quality academics for decades, other “prep schools” and
“academies” have been popping up in the post-internet age as money
making machines. Findlay Prep is not really a high school; it is simply a
basketball team. Not a single player is from Nevada.
Their players attended classes at the for-profit Henderson International
School. They attended classes between their trips to Illinois, Kentucky
(twice), Ohio (twice), Florida (twice), Massachusetts, South Dakota,
Virginia, Arizona, New Jersey and Texas.
9. History of Programs
“A typical school day for the Findlay players starts with
a morning practice from nine to 11, followed by class
from 11 to 12. After a short lunch break, classes resume
until three. The day concludes with a weight training
session from three to four before the players return
home”
Findlay Prep has won two consecutive “national
championships” for which we all could not ever recall
there being such a thing when I was in high school.
10. The only program that even comes close to our model is
Findlay Prep, as you will read in our model we truly will
have a program of a Findlay Prep caliber, but what makes
us stronger and better is our true keen sense of true
academic/college readiness & community
