EMA hopes to change the world by changing the youth sports narrative by cultivating each Student-Leader for a lifetime of achievement and meaningful impact (on and off the court). Our Student-Leaders not only work on their basketball skills year-round; they also develop more confidence, a stronger moral compass, character, commitment as well as discipline-ultimately preparing them to become well-rounded and vulnerable leaders.
We teach all essential basketball fundamentals - all skills and concepts - plus leadership skills that go way beyond the court. We're just better. Want to know why? EMA has been truly transformational for our daughter, beyond any basketball experience she has had at school or through two AAU programs.

Testimonials
Report
Our son Alex's first experience ended with him in tears. But they were genuine tears of recognition that here was a program that addressed and challenged his deep, and yet still, (at ten years of age), undefinable passion for basketball.
Here finally was Coach Gumbs, who recognized Alex's passion, and who challenged our son to embrace extremely difficult but productive work by summoning his natural ability and strength, rather than by shaming, sarcasm, shouting, and foul language.I have known Coach Gumbs for over 15 years, in both a basketball and personal capacity.
