Established and led by Tucson basketball enthusiast Reid Broderick, the Vail Basketball Academy is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of athletes both on and off the court. With a strong emphasis on personal growth, discipline, and teamwork, the academy provides a comprehensive training environment where young players can enhance their skills, build character, and develop a lifelong passion for the game. Under Broderick’s guidance, the program aims to inspire excellence in every aspect of a young athlete’s journey.
For the past 15 years, Coach Reid Broderick has been deeply committed to empowering and mentoring the youth of Southern Arizona through the game of basketball. Building a club program centered around true player development—not just collecting trophies—requires resilience, vision, and an unwavering dedication to the long-term growth of athletes. While many programs prioritize winning championships, Coach Broderick’s Vail Basketball Academy stands out for its focus on cultivating well-rounded individuals and helping each player reach their full potential both on and off the court. I have a deep respect for the time, energy, and passion Coach Broderick has poured into his program, and I firmly believe that his efforts will soon be reflected in the number of college-ready prospects emerging from VBA. For players in the Vail Area looking for a program focused on development look no further than VBA.
