Florida Coastal Prep is a basketball prep school and post-graduate program located in Fort Walton Beach on Florida's Emerald Coast. Since 2019, FCP has developed student-athletes from 43 states and 22 countries through two structured pathways: a National High School Program for grades 9–12 and a Post-Graduate Program for athletes aged 18–20.
Players train daily under former NBA and D1 coaches inside our 14,000 sq ft Spartan Training Center, compete on a national schedule in the SEHAL and PHSBA circuits, and complete NCAA-approved academics. FCP alumni have signed at every level — D1 conferences including the SEC, Big East, Big Sky, and Ohio Valley, as well as D2, NAIA, and JUCO programs. Two former players have reached the NBA.
“First class treatment of players.”
— Paul Biancardi, ESPN Director of Basketball Recruiting

What Families Say About FCP
Real results from parents and athletes who've lived the FCP experience.
Coach Lee DeForest was instrumental in putting my son in the position to compete against high level competition as well as in front of college coaches. My son matured and received a D1 scholarship and now plays for the Missouri Tigers.
My son had zero offers coming out of high school, and after completing his time at FCP, he had plenty of offers. Thank you Coach and FCP!!!
He is a talented coach and very passionate about the game and truly connected with his players. His commitment to see them succeed on and off the court sets him apart.
He is a real professional as a coach and great person with a lot of patience for teaching today's kids to play at a higher level in order to receive future scholarships. I highly recommend!
I have had several kids play for Coach DeForest! All of them have received scholarships to colleges. He has been awesome for our Future Prospects Program. Great Guy and Coach!
By selecting Coach DeForest, you have secured a giant of a coach who understands how to teach the boys life skills as he teaches them basketball.
