Earn Your Coaching Diploma on Saturdays

The Keith Coleman Basketball Coaching Academy is designed for teenagers who want to earn a coaching diploma or certificate in two years or less, while only attending classes on Saturdays. Classes are offered in 8-week sessions in a hybrid format. By taking two classes at a time, students can focus deeply on each subject. You will study with a cohort of fellow future coaches, meeting face-to-face with your professor each Saturday while completing some work online each week. As a full-time student taking four classes per semester (two classes each session), you will be eligible for financial aid. We have planned out your entire schedule so that there are no surprises. From day one, you will see the step-by-step pathway and course schedule for the next two years. We guarantee that all required classes will be offered as planned. In addition to flexible Saturday classes, we provide support throughout your coaching journey with admissions, registration, academic advising, and assistance applying for financial aid. Free tutoring is also available on campus or online.
