Myra Harris | Unalakleet Head Girls Basketball Coach

Rural Alaskan athletes have talent and come from families that support their traditional values. Rural Alaska also comes with it's hardships associated with isolation. Coaches are people who share the value of hard work, bringing families and communities together through sports and ultimately helping improve the health and well-being of rural Alaskans. I met Alysa Horn when she flew to Unalakleet to conduct a K-12 basketball camp. She has personable traits that motivate athletes, while communicating critically with care and candor. This is an art that is crafted through many hours of interaction and is at the heart of helping others become overcomers. Because of this, Alysa is living proof, that Alaskans with specialized training, can attain physical and mental skills to realize their potential."

Frank Ostanik | Alaska Basketball Academy | Monroe Catholic High School Athletic Director & Head Boys Basketball Coach

I have had the pleasure of working with and getting to know Coach Horn over the past few years. I have been coaching and running camps for the past 27 years and Coach Horn is one of the best clinicians I have worked with. Her unique combination of knowledge and ability to teach separate her from others. As great a trainer as she is, she is a better human being. Coach Horn genuinely cares about those she works with and is committed to helping everyone reach their full potential from a physical, mental, and skill standpoint. Her compassion, sense of humor and concern go far beyond helping a person get into better shape or dribble a basketball better. More than most people I work with, she has the ability to help others reach their full potential as a person. I can give Coach Horn no greater compliment than to say she is the one person I would most want training my child.”

Heath Day | Rally Alaska

“Alysa is a fantastic human being and a superstar coach. In my twenty years of coaching and training coaches I have not encountered a coach with as much passion and desire for the success of their athletes. Alysa goes above an beyond all expectations to give her best and inspires those around her in the process. Her knowledge, commitment, and work ethic are top notch. From training collegiate athletes to basketball camp with kindergartners to adult personal training, and everything in between, Alysa is a one of a kind coach that makes people around her better."

The College & Varsity Prep Camps & 3v3 Tournament

If organizing a camp where you're at may not be a possibility at this time, additional opportunities for your team exist in Anchorage! 

The Akademy

Make Yourself and 94ft Athletics present The Akademy, a 3 week in depth developmental experience for Alaskan hoopers to unlock their greatest potential on and off the court.
  • Akademies are 3 weeks long, and will run all through the spring, summer, and fall to help serious basketball players prepare for the next level.
  • Spots are extremely limited - we will only be taking 14 athletes for the 7th - 9th grade Akademy, and 14 athletes for the 10th - College Akademy. 6th graders wanting to participate will need to undergo an evaluation in order to be considered for the 7th - 9th grade Akademy.
  • Each Akademy includes curriculum on basketball skill development and strength and conditioning. It is taught by two of Alaska's most highly regarded basketball professionals, Alysa Horn, and Kenny Barker. Both coaches have excelled at the collegiate and professional level, winning multiple championships in their careers. Their focus now is helping young hoopers pursue their own journeys to greatness both on and off the court.
