Train with
a purpose.

A complete player-development system built exclusively for female basketball players — from eight years old to the college game.

What we believe

Development,
not drills.

A structured curriculum organized by age, skill level, position and goals — designed around female basketball players and how they develop.

  • Ball Handling
  • Shooting
  • Finishing
  • Passing
  • Game Skills
Why this exists

Most players are training without a map.

A 12-year-old beginner shouldn't train like a 17-year-old varsity player. Yet most online basketball training is just “here's today's workout.”

We hand athletes where they are, where they need to go, and the exact path to get there.

  • Players don't actually know what they should be working on
  • Generic workouts handed to everyone, regardless of age or level
  • Random drills collected from TikTok and YouTube
  • No structured progression from one skill to the next
  • Confusion about how to train strength and athleticism
  • Skills that never connect back to game situations
  • Training with no benchmarks — no way to measure growth
The system

The smarter way
to get better.

Assess, prescribe, train, measure, progress, repeat. Every feature exists to run that loop.

About us

Built by coaches
who love the game.

Her Prep Academy is an online basketball academy for female players, from age eight through college.

Our mission

A clear path for every player.

We want every player to know what she's working on, why it matters, and what comes next. Our curriculum takes players from their first fundamentals to the college game, one step at a time.

Why we started

Training works best with a plan.

A lot of online training is a list of drills with no order to it. We built a structured program instead: age sets the training environment, skill sets the starting point, and progress is measured along the way.

Questions

FAQ.

Everything parents and players ask before they start.

Yes. The curriculum, the progressions, the athletic development and the coaching support are all designed around female basketball players and how they develop.

Every athlete starts with an assessment — a questionnaire plus timed video tests covering ball handling, shooting, and finishing. That produces your Player Development Profile: scores for ball handling, shooting, finishing, passing, speed, strength, and change of direction, plus your top three priorities. Your profile recommends your starting book and chapter, so you never waste months training at the wrong level.

That's exactly what the chapter system is for. Our rule is: your age determines your training environment — your skill determines your chapter. An advanced 10-year-old can test into the older side of a boundary, and a beginner 13-year-old can start where she actually is instead of struggling through content she isn't ready for.

Yes. Each chapter is designed as a month of training, with four one-week phases — but you complete it on your own schedule. We recommend four training days a week. And the final phase of every chapter is a dedicated test-and-review week, which doubles as a catch-up week if life got in the way.

Every session is structured the same way: a warm-up, then blocks built around the five pillars — ball handling, shooting, finishing, passing, and game skills. From Book 3 (ages 14–17) on, each workout ends with a 5–10 minute Athletic Development finisher: deceleration, first-step explosiveness, landing mechanics, single-leg strength, and core work. Sessions scale from 45–60 minutes in Book 1 to 90–120 in Book 4.

Free drills give you workouts. Her Prep Academy gives you a development system: a curriculum with a starting point and a progression, assessments that gate advancement, and benchmarks you can measure. “We don't sell drills — we build development, and a pathway.”
