ABOUT BASKETBALL DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY

Developing Players. Building Character. Preparing the Next Generation.

Basketball Development Academy (BDA) is a Houston-area youth basketball organization dedicated to developing student-athletes on and off the court. For more than a decade, BDA has provided boys and girls with an environment where they can develop their basketball skills, increase their confidence, compete at a high level, and learn the discipline and work ethic necessary to succeed beyond the game. Led by Coach Carey Rigsby, a former professional basketball player who competed internationally in Europe and South America, BDA brings real playing experience, knowledgeable coaching, and a passion for player development to every athlete who enters the program. Our coaching staff includes former collegiate players, experienced coaches, trainers, and mentors who understand that successful player development goes far beyond winning games.

 

MORE THAN BASKETBALL

At BDA, our mission is simple:Develop the Player. Develop the Person. Prepare Them for the Next Level.

We believe basketball is a powerful tool for teaching young athletes the importance of discipline, accountability, teamwork, leadership, confidence, perseverance, and respect. Our goal is to challenge athletes to become better every time they step on the court while creating an environment where players are supported, held accountable, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

​

College Preparation & Exposure

​

THE BDA STANDARD

Being part of BDA means representing something bigger than yourself.

We expect our athletes to work hard, compete, communicate, respect their teammates and coaches, perform in the classroom, and represent their families and the BDA organization with pride.

Winning matters—but development comes first.

Our goal is not simply to build successful basketball teams. Our goal is to help build successful young men and women who are prepared for basketball, college, careers, and life.

 

ONE PROGRAM. ONE FAMILY. ONE STANDARD

From an athlete's first training session to competing on the national stage, BDA is committed to providing a pathway that allows players to learn, develop, compete, and advance.

We are building more than basketball players. We are developing the next generation.
