Athlete training involves more than just physical fitness. At Handlelife, we focus on shaping character, boosting confidence, and fostering leadership, all while refining basketball abilities.
At Handlelife Academy, we believe elite athletic development shouldn't come at the expense of a world-class education. Traditional schooling schedules often force student-athletes to choose between high-level training and academic excellence.
We exist to eliminate that compromise, providing flexible, high-caliber academics tailored to the demands of the modern athlete.
Through our partnership with Scholar Athlete Academy and The PRSVR School (founded on the core pillars of Passion, Resilience, Sacrifice, Values, and Respect), we blend tailored academic rigor with hands-on support.
Whether you're aiming for traditional grade progression or navigating a reclassification (leap) year, our flexible hybrid model fits seamlessly around training schedules while building well-rounded leaders on and off the court.
PRSVR is an independent partner, not a Handlelife entity. We provide classroom space at our facility; PRSVR provides academic instruction and helps families access education-funding vendors. We're an approved vendor with Taylion and EPIC, and eligible through Blue Ridge Academy.
Families direct that education funding toward our training program as a PE/athletic elective. Where the funding doesn't cover the full cost, the Foundation can scholarship the gap.
The PRSVR School is a California state-sanctioned private school covered under California Education Code § 49068 and 5 CCR § 438. Meaning we are equipped to provide official transcripts and comply with all state standards.
There are up to 12 students in each academic block. An academic block is up to 3 hours long. Students are grouped based on interests, learning styles, skill level, or even height throughout the school year. Very rarely are the students isolated solely by grade level for group work. Grade-level work is done via the Scholar Athlete Academy platform.
We use The Scholar Athlete Academy, A Mastery-Aligned, Guided Independent Study Academy Engineered for Modern Scholar-Athletes. A seamless K-12 online curriculum path where every lesson connects to the student’s interests. Attendance is through biometric accountability, letting you learn on the road. Cognitive mastery rather than memorization. State of California Standards Engine.
Yes. This is best used as a one-year intensive program, giving you and your athlete the personalized attention you deserve and the room to grow- physically, emotionally, and mentally.
We hold a Signing Ceremony for our students, celebrating their next step in the journey toward greatness.
The PRSVR School will send complete transcripts, work samples, assessment results, and special projects to your school of choice within 10 days. All courses taken through SAA are created to produce mastery-level understanding of all grade-level state standards.
The full homeschool academy package includes up to three hours of on-court and athletic development with 3 hours of academic work Monday - Thursday, with an open lab on Fridays 9a-12p for students to seek individualized attention.
They are not viewed separately. As part of the students' math mastery, they will evaluate and decipher their own shot tracker statistics from the court. Academic infractions carry athletic consequences. Each athlete's portfolio contains both in-game highlights and off-court presentations.
