Alabama Basketball Institute: Project 2034
3rd Grade: Taking the first step
In September 2024, ABI made a commitment to long-term player development by recruiting only third-grade boys for what became Cohort 2034. Rather than chasing 2025 summer wins, ABI focused on teaching basketball fundamentals, Grit, Confidence, Discipline, Leadership, and Resilience.
Twenty families initially joined or explored the program. By the end of the first season, July 2025, Conner, Jonny, Finn, Jovan, Skylar, Deacon, and their parents remained committed to the journey.
They trained, learned, and competed in only three tournaments. The team finished 6–4 and captured the Port City Classic Championship.
The boys improved in basketball skills, communication, teamwork, confidence, and character. Cohort 2034 represents ABI's belief that developing exceptional young men and not just recruiting the community’s most talented basketball players for a couple of weekends, is what success means.
4th Grade: Year Two Complete
The 2025–2026 ABI training year marked another important step in the long-term development of Cohort 2034. The season began with 12 players and concluded with Jonny, Cade, Deacon, Finn, Conner, and Jovan. Two additional players continued attending training sessions because they valued ABI's positive learning environment.
On the court, the team posted a 13–9 record in five Panhandle Basketball competitions, earning three silver medals and one bronze. Away from ABI, several players won city league championships, excelled at elite basketball camps, and received statewide recognition.
Academically, the team achieved an outstanding cumulative 3.9 GPA while also pursuing music and other activities. Entering the 2026–2027 season, ABI will establish comprehensive basketball, physical, grit, confidence, and resilience baselines to scientifically measure each player's long-term growth as both an athlete and a young leader.
