"SOLID spells out the values we intend to implement on our student-athletes: Students, Opportunities, Life, Intelligence, and Dreams."
SOLID Foundation Prep, Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Buffalo, NY. We promote holistic youth development using sports and tech. With basketball and fitness as our hook, we introduce tech-based projects, life skills, and leadership development for all youth, focusing on underrepresented communities in Buffalo.
Becoming a successful student and student-athlete requires a well-balanced approach to academics, athletics, and life skills. By developing the minds, health, and spirits of our students, we will ensure their success and positive contributions to the community. Academic, athletic, and social support are all top priorities at SOLID Foundation Prep.
Mentoring is an intricate part of all of our programming. Students who actively meet with their mentors are proven to be more successful in school, leaders amongst their peers, and active in their communities--values that our program is based upon.
Staying active and getting better on the basketball court helps students focus and lead a healthy lifestyle. We provide innovative, high-quality basketball skill development and overall athletic improvement. We are consistently working to get our students to the next level of their careers, as well as teaching the basics for those looking to learn the game.
We will assist our younger students with a smooth transition into high school, and this will include academic support, entry exam assistance, finding the right school fit, and social development.
For high school student-athletes looking to advance to the next level, finding the right college and making a successful transition is a challenge. We will assist our students with SAT prep, registering for the NCAA Clearinghouse, ensuring they are eligible to participate, navigating the recruiting process, and the rigors of a college schedule.
