Founded in October 2022 by CEO Jay Phillips and Coach Joe Day, Suns Basketball Academy (SBA) was built with a mission—to empower young athletes not only on the court but in the classroom and in life. We believe that basketball is more than just a game; it’s a tool for discipline, teamwork, and leadership.
Since our founding, we have worked tirelessly to provide a supportive and structured environment for youth striving to improve in basketball, academics, and character.
