...Making Dreams Come True
DreamMakers
Academy is an innovative leadership, basketball and character
development program dedicated to equipping youth with needed
life management skills. DMA uses sports (in particular, basketball)
and mentoring as the means to achieve these life management
skills.
DreamMakers
Academy has distinguished itself as the Washington area's
premier basketball academy and after school experience.
DMA
provides four core services:
- Academic
Enrichment Services: to develop a strong academic foundation
- Basketball Technique
& Skills Development: to improve individual and team
fundamental basketball skills
- Character Development Services:
to teach the DreamMakers to compete at the highest levels nationwide
(both academically and athletically) and to prepare our student
athletes for high school and beyond.
- Life Management
Services: to assist parents with life management priorities
such as afterschool pick-up, homework verification, afterschool
nutrition, and sports team drop-off.
DMA
Focuses on the Student. For over twenty (20) years, DreamMakers
Academy has had one focus: THE STUDENT ATHLETE. This is our focus
because we understand the value of being well-rounded, the importance
of academics, and the necessity of teaching fundamentals. DMA’s
separation from the pack stems from the fact that we care about
delivering results in life, not just basketball. Our goal is to
be the first basketball academy with more academic scholarships
than athletic. We will achieve this goal by exposing and arming
youth with the tools to become positive contributors to society.
To this end, DMA hosts an array of academic, cultural and professional
events, workshops, and fieldtrips to expose our young people to
the endless possibilities before them. Our strategy for success
is simple:
"Show
them the way, provide an opportunity and WATCH THEM EXCEL!"
