Jma Basketball Academy Description
John Madejski Academy has a special relationship with basketball thanks to our close connection with Reading Rockets.
New in 2013, our elite basketball programme allows exceptional basketball players to refine their skills, benefiting from professional level coaching, while continuing with their academic studies. It offers promising basketball students the chance to improve technically, tactically, physically and mentally.
Introduced in 2013, our elite basketball programme is designed to provide extra support and opportunities to young basketball players who show promise and commitment to their sport. We ensure the students receive the very best coaching and training for their age and stage.
Aimed at students from Years 7–13, the programme allows them to develop their skills and techniques during and outside school hours, while making sure they continue to progress well academically. This gives them a great start on the road to becoming a dedicated and focused athlete.
John Madejski Academy is now the only school in Berkshire with an elite basketball programme for students across all year groups.
To be considered for the programme students must already be recognised as exceptional players within their own year group, with the potential to go to a high level. If they are already studying at JMA they will be members of the Rockets programme
