Established by Retired NBA Star, Obinna Ekezie, our core focus at OBN Academy is to develop young talents in Nigeria and across Africa. Our goal is to create the most professional environment possible for our players to progress. By surrounding ourselves with some of the best and most qualified coaches across Africa, our academy offers specially developed training to address all aspects of the game: technical, tactical, and physical.
OBN Academy’s basketball program focuses on position-specific instruction, a competitive schedule, year-round training and development, and frequent communication and evaluations for athletes and their families regarding their progress. OBN basketball features a variety of teams at various levels and age ranges to ensure each athlete has an enriching experience while competing against teams that will further develop their potential. We are proud of the overseas basketball opportunities we create for our athletes who are looking to receive U.S/Canada athletic college scholarships, as well as helping already formed players on their path to success. Regardless of your current skill level and status we can help you develop your capabilities to the limits.
