Letter from the Athletic Director

Letter from the Athletic Director

For years, many have speculated, wondered, and narrated what we do at RCA. Everything about RCA and our basketball program is summed up in our approach: a program that prioritizes character and development over everything else.

Our high school and prep teams consistently perform at a high level, with both teams making it to the semifinals in league play. This past year, our AAA team rose to be ranked #28 in the nation among prep schools. Our prep coach, Malani Massey, won co-coach of the year alongside Tom Espinosa of Putnam Science . I am excited about my next year's High School team, which will include my nephew, Imahri Wooten, who is a highly ranked 4-star player.

Our player development speaks for itself. We enjoy the challenge of taking kids who want to play, with no recruiting and no tryouts. This is a true reflection of our program-taking kids from all backgrounds and walks of life. It's not a business for us; preparation for life is our motto. It's no wonder that our program has become a breeding ground for under-the-radar talent.

At RCA, we don't defend or brag about what we do. We quietly get the job done for a cause bigger than ourselves. We aim to change lives. A program alone doesn't make or break a player; it's the discipline and structure that truly shape them. RCA has been one of the few schools with multiple players drafted into the NBA, and there are more to come-very soon!
