Finest Basketball @ Cresset Academy

Finest Basketball at Cresset Academy is Phase 1 of a multi-year development plan to immerse elite level student-athletes from all around the globe in full-time training/development for specific sports, while at the same time, providing high level academics in the classroom.  Our professional trainers, coaches, teachers, house parents, and volunteers partner together to disciple our student-athletes with the Gospel of Jesus Christ with hopes that our students will be a light to many in college and beyond.

​​

Finest Volleyball, Finest Track & Field

Phase 2 will include a renewed emphasis on boys basketball, the launch of Finest Volleyball, and Finest Track & field starting in the 2025/26 school year.  

​

Finest Nation

Phase 3 will expand our "Finest"sports and discipleship programs to numerous other educational institutions around the USA in hopes to continue to reach the lost, and share Jesus through elite level sports on a global stage.
