Where Warriors Are Forged.
Who We Are
Gbawe Basketball Academy is a high-performance training ground where discipline, culture, and basketball collide. Based in the heart of Gbawe, Ghana, our academy was built to raise Hunters — athletes who understand the value of effort, imagination, and execution.
Our Mission
To prepare athletes to trust the process, obey the principles, and become their best selves — not just in the game, but in life.
Our Identity: The Way of the Hunter
Everything we do is rooted in the Hunter's Philosophy:
- Track: Set goals with clarity.
- Stalk: Train with patience, focus, and intention.
- Strike: Execute when it counts.
- Become: Live out your potential.
With every drill, every chant, and every game, we enforce our code:
Trust. Obey. Become.
Our Roots in Gbawe
We draw from the power of our local culture — the traditional stool that symbolizes leadership and the hunter that represents wisdom, discipline, and execution. Our identity isn't just on the court — it's in our blood.
