Dorm Life at the Basketball Academy
The goal of dorm life at New Creations Basketball Academy is to further the total mission of the school by facilitating spiritual, intellectual, social and personal growth. This will be achieved through the utilization of structured student/faculty interaction and educational programs in the residential setting.
The dorm life at NCBA promotes spiritual independence, patience, trust, respect for others, communication, safety, tolerance, and respect for diverse human experience and expression. It is an open style of living, with the students all sharing a common bunking area divided by personal individual closets for the student’s personal items. The dormitory also offers students individual showers and restrooms, a dorm laundry room, TV room and kitchenette area with refrigerator and microwave.
The current set up allows for students and faculty to learn from one another as they discuss life and things that may challenge them in their own lives. The relationship building with teammates develops into a family atmosphere and life time relationships are forged in this setting. The dorm life allows for our young men to move outside of their normal involvement with others whom they may prior to their arrival may have not befriended for various reasons. Our young men grow and learn how to communicate and deal with various life backgrounds and cultures in this setting.
Our students learn independence and responsibility. Each student is required to make his bed before departing the dorm each day as well each student has the responsibility of washing his own laundry drying and neatly putting it away. Each student has assigned chores in the dorm that rotate each day during the course of the school year. The chores range from cleaning the restrooms, to vacuuming, sweeping and moping, taking out the trash etc. The environment is set up to teach them to be responsible. We believe that these simple life lessons will follow them throughout life if they will apply them while enrolled here at NCBA.
