Introducing Team L.E.A.D.E.R.S.

Greatness isn’t given—it’s earned through dedication, resilience, and belief in one’s potential. Empower ME Academy (EMA) trains elite athletes and builds heart leaders who lead with integrity, confidence, and purpose on and off the court.

Our premier 13U (7th grade) development team is an exclusive opportunity, more than just basketball—it’s a movement. A proving ground for future leaders ready to rise, challenge themselves, and make an impact.

Why We Created This

Real leadership isn’t about titles or talent—it’s about character, courage, and commitment. The world needs more skilled athletes who are leaders who listen, uplift, and inspire. TEAM L.E.A.D.E.R.S. was built to instill these values and shape future role models.

More Than a Team—A Unique Mission

True leaders go above and beyond when times get tough, bring their A-game, and show others how it’s done. Unfortunately, too many of our students get involved in programs that don’t emphasize leadership, integrity, and accountability like we do. They deserve more!

That’s why team L.E.A.D.E.R.S. was founded on these core principles:

Listening – Understanding and valuing others
Empathy – Leading with compassion
Accountability – Owning mistakes and growing
Daring – Taking risks and facing challenges
Energy – Bringing passion and focus
Resilience – Overcoming adversity
Selflessness – Prioritizing team success

These values aren’t just words, but they define everything we do.
