Ball Academy

Basketball prep school combining training with partner academic pathways

Description

Ball Academy is a Swiss basketball training organisation with an athletic prep-school pathway for student-athletes. Its site places activity across Geneva and the Lavaux/Riviera area, rather than at one single campus. The prep-school offer is aimed chiefly at athletes aged 16 to 23 and combines high-level basketball coaching, competition, mentoring and academic schedules designed around training. For study, Ball Academy says it works with accredited schools and universities offering routes from secondary diplomas to higher education; it is not itself necessarily the degree-awarding institution, despite the “prep school & university” language in its branding. Younger players can join other skill-development offerings. Families should verify the specific school partner, qualification, housing, safeguards, fees and training venue before enrolling, because the route depends on age and programme.

CIES

The International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES) is an independent foundation in Neuchâtel that combines sport research with postgraduate and executive education. FIFA, the University of Neuchâtel, and the city and state of Neuchâtel founded it in 1995; FIFA is one of several founding partners, not a substitute for the centre’s own identity. CIES organises the one-year FIFA Master in management, law and humanities of sport with De Montfort University, SDA Bocconi and the University of Neuchâtel, taught across Leicester, Milan and Neuchâtel. Its wider education menu also covers international sport management and football law, while its research includes the Football Observatory. Football is listed because of that specialist research and education, though the Master examines other sports too. Applicants should verify the current course structure and admissions details with CIES.
