VCYBA 2026: FOUR DAYS OF HOOPS, HUSTLE AND HEART

The 28th annual Vince Carter Youth Basketball Academy (VCYBA) is held in Daytona Beach, Florida on the campus of Mainland High School at the Vince Carter Athletic Center. The 4-day event is available to youngsters between the ages of 7-17.

During the first 3 days of the academy, coaches and campers work together, in closed door sessions, to improve maneuvers on the court and in life. For four hours each day, Vince and his coaching staff lead campers through various drills and competitions within several stations that include fitness and education. The last day of the basketball academy is tagged as family and friends’ day. This is the opportunity for the ballers to showcase what they have learned.

This year, the following ballers were recognized as outstanding participants:

ON THE COURT

• NOAH COLLINS

• ADALYN JONES

• ALEX MALDONADO

• BAILEY RICHARDSON

• STUDENT-ATHLETE – AYDEN ABREU

• FITNESS – DAVID EVANS

Well, that’s a wrap for VCYBA 2026 and I’m already looking forward to seeing you next

summer. Don’t forget… make sure to invite a friend!

I wish everyone a successful year and remember to cheer for whomever is your favorite NBA Team!
