Life Thru Hoops Prep Academy cannot guarantee any player a scholarship, financial assistance, or anything of related to scholarship money. The only thing that we can offer is playing time and the opportunity to play in front of college coaches, whether that be D1, D2, D3, Junior College D1, Junior College D2, and/or NAIA. We are not held responsible for how a player performs during games. We reserve the right to play players how, when and in what games we see fit. Not every player is guaranteed to play in every game and/or event.
If at any time a player causes problems with the coaches, housing, mentors, spectators, and/or players we have the right to punish players as we see fair. If players continue to cause problems, we reserve the right to send a player home with the possibility of no return. If this happens, all payments will seize if payments are up to date. If payments are not up to date, the overdue payments are still due and legal action may be necessary.
To secure a place at Life Thru Hoops Prep Academy, a deposit of $3,000 must be made. After 5 business days, this deposit is non-refundable. All payments are due the 1st of every month until the entire bill is paid, no exceptions. These payments begin August 1st, unless given another date or if a player is to start late. After 5 days there will be an additional charge of 10% of the monthly payment due. If a player’s payment is overdue a month or more, we reserve the right to send said player home and possibly ask him not to return.
For international athletes, it is the responsibility of the athlete to get to the United States. If unable to receive a visa and/or come to the United States due to government issued traveling restrictions for COVID-19, will have their monthly payments halted until they arrive in the United States, the athletes’ monthly payments, not the initial deposit, are halted. A nonrefundable deposit is still needed for international athletes to reserve their roster spot and/or receive an invitation letter.

FOOD POLICY.
Although, athletes at Life Thru Hoops Prep Academy have the option of buying their own food; food could be a potential problem at any secondary prep school. Every athlete eats differently for various reasons. To solve this problem, Life Thru Hoops Prep Academy provides ‘house food’. House food is typical nonperishable goods that can be found in any pantry. This includes:
- Pasta
- Sause
- Cereal
- Pancake/Waffle Mix
- Seasonings
- Vegetables
- Bread
- Eggs
- Cooking Essentials
Life Thru Hoops Prep Academy does not provide meats, snacks, and/or drinks.
Unless specific instruction is given, no athlete is permitted to deep fry food or use excessive amounts of oil to cook.
Life Thru Hoops Prep Academy does offer athletes an option for athletes to pay a weekly fee ($20-25) for agreed upon foods of their choosing. Athletes who agree to this food plan will be in a pool with other athletes to decide said foods. Unused money will go to buffets and/or outings for said athletes.
Life Thru Hoops Prep Academy does not provide food for athletes outside of house food. Athletes must feed themselves on trips, unless specified team dinners are announced.
HOTEL POLICY.
It is important that Life Thru Hoops Prep Academy athletes conduct themselves in an appropriate, responsible manner when on trips and in hotels. This means, no loud noise, cleaning up after oneself, no drugs and/or alcohol, no running in the halls, loitering, and any other inappropriate conduct.
Hotels rate their occupants. It is imperative that Life Thru Hoops Prep Academy occupants receive the highest rating possible during their stay.
COVID-19 POLICY.
If Life Thru Hoops Academy is unable to have a program for the 2023-24 season due to COVID-19, athletes are entitled to a full refund of their deposit at the full discretion of the program director. If Life Thru Hoops Prep Academy is able to salvage any part of the 2023-24 season despite the effects of COVID-19, the nonrefundable deposit policy remains intact. International athletes who are unable to travel to the US due to government issued traveling restrictions for COVID-19, will have their monthly payments halted until they arrive in the United States. For an international athlete to receive a refund for their deposit they must provide a letter written by a government official stating that they are unable to travel to the US because of COVID-19, specifically a travel ban. Upon arrival, said athlete must have their balance paid in its entirety, including, but not limited to, any missed monthly payments and travel payments, to remain in the Life Thru Hoops Prep Academy program.
