The sessions begin Monday, June 5th and conclude Friday, August 25th. Sessions are held two hours per day Monday thru Friday from 9am-10am. Applications will be accepted until May 31st.
The ABA University is designed to teach professional basketball both on and off the court.

The 12-week session will instruct players in the areas of basketball training and weight lifting, how to increase players' market contract values, training for television and radio interviews, public appearances, community work, as well as after-career management possibilities. Each class will be taught by instructors with years of experience in their profession. ABA University instructors will critique player's abilities one-on-one and provide them with an overall assessment. Players will be required to participate in exhibition games where pro scouts can meet and recruit players.
Enrollment into the ABA University program will continue until May 31th. No walk-ups will be accepted. The ABA University tuition is only $360.00. Housing is available for an additional charge. For more information, contact Jerome Gregory at 314 921 8600 or online at www.stlstunners.com or www.abalive.com.
Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
