South Sound Academy is an expansion of a program known as the South Sound Tarheels which was established over 7 years ago by its director Tom Kelley as a response to the growing number of athletes in the south sound area that were going unrecognized for their on/off court accomplishments. Creating South Sound Academy (A TOTALLY NON-PROFIT program) is a collaboration of several local and former AAU and high school coaches with the goal in mind to see these talented young individuals pursue collegiate careers both academically as well as athletically. Over the past 8 years the South Sound program has seen 27 players go on to play at the collegiate level and this year’s senior class may see as many as 7 go on to play at some collegiate institution, with many of these players already receiving recruiting letters. This past spring and summer South Sound is proud to say that they had players from 14 separate high school institutions representing in action. On one of the following pages you will find the names of previous players to take the floor wearing the south sound uniform in competition.

MISSION STATEMENT

Our focus as a program has always been to reach out to the young talent located here in our own back yard. We have prided ourselves in providing opportunities to those athletes who hope to further their education as well as enhance their athletic skills at the next level. We are not just a flash in the night program, we have set ourselves up as a program dedicated to develop each of our player’s individual skills and strengthen their weaknesses.
