MISSION STATEMENT
Taylor Made Prep Academy's mission is to provide a "true college sports prep" to members of underserved communities.
TAYLOR MADE
"TAYLOR MADE" represents the roots of Coach Jamal Edwards, Founder of Taylor Made Prep, and his hometown of Taylor, Michigan. Growing up in a suburb of Detroit, he always channeled his energy on the court. Countless doors opened for him to play basketball in the U.S., Canada, Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.
Coach Edwards knew one day he'd pay it forward.
Taylor Made Prep Academy (Arizona's first college sports prep high school) is a non-profit corporation organized exclusively for educational services and to foster amateur sports competitions. Our private school is designed to mentor student-athletes with goal of participating in intercollegiate athletics. We provide the youth of underserved communities with preparation for success in college, in both academics and athletics.
Students of Taylor Made Prep’s academic program earn credits towards a High School Diploma or College Preparatory Diploma and receive guidance to achieve certification requirements for intercollegiate athletics. Our academic and athletic programs also provide life skills education for at-risk youth.
​
Taylor Made Prep formed TMP Elite to create a year-round development and exposure model. TMP offers individual or small group training and basketball camps for beginning, intermediate, and advanced athletes of all ages. Several age groups represent TMP Elite's basketball traveling teams that play in the top grassroots-level events throughout the nation.
