GRIND
6th - 8th Grade
Grind is our daytime program geared towards middle school athletes. The focus of this program will be high-level athletic and sports excellence through both foundational repetition and more specific individual skill acquisition. These athletes will be pushed to accelerate their athletic development beyond foundations to become elite athletes at a young level. We will advance their basketball IQ through small-sided games and specific basketball scenarios.
TRACK 1 - ACADEMICS and BASKETBALL
Our academic and basketball program is a full-time track designed for 6th to 8th graders that combines academics and athletics. Students will complete their academic coursework in the morning from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM using Gem Prep Online, with the support of an in-person educator who will help keep students on task, organized, and facilitate communication between students and parents. The afternoon will focus on basketball training, with athletes participating in core workouts and group training sessions from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM, guided by EDGE’s experienced trainers. This program fosters a strong sense of community, as students complete their schoolwork together, while also offering flexibility for families with pre-established curricula. If you’re interested in tailoring the program to your middle schooler’s needs, reach out to Stacey VanDyken for more information.
TRACK 2 - BASKETBALL ONLY
Track 2 of the GRIND program is a sports-only option designed for athletes who want to focus solely on their basketball development. Students will come to the gym from 12:30-3:30pm. During this time, athletes will participate in core basketball workouts, performance training, and group training sessions led by EDGE’s expert trainers. This program provides a focused, high-level training environment for students to hone their skills, improve their athletic performance, and take their game to the next level. This would be a great program for families who already have an established alternative curriculum or students interested in dual enrollment with their local school.
