What is All Access?
EA All Access serves as all immersive experience into the Elite Athletes program, giving coaches or trainers the opportunity to observe all elements of EA.
This includes workout sessions with all of our coaches. Whether it’s skill development sessions, style-of-play practices or athletic development training, as an All Access Coach you are free to visit what is on our schedule at the Elite Academy, EA Camps or small-group workouts.
All Access members are able to tailor their schedule to their own interest, choosing sessions to attend based on what they would like to get out of their time with us.
EA currently offers a variety of All-Access packages: from multiple hours to a week – or a whole month. Some coaches literally decide to spend their summer with us!
All Access can be arranged at anytime during the in-season or off-season.

Elite Athletes have a following of players & coaches all over the world.
Elite Academy
Based in Antwerp, the Elite Academy is an all-encompassing holistic and educational basketball program.
With 9 men’s teams (U12, U13, U14, U15, U16, U17, U18, U21Dev & U21), EA players are immersed in an inspirational and supportive environment affording them the ability to discover their full potential.
Elite Academy is a process which athletes sign-up and commit to; a process which just like its players, is in constant evolution itself.
The goal of the academy is to build resilient, creative and adaptive individuals.
We aim to provide our kids the experiences and toolbox to nourish further opportunities in and outside of basketball.
