About Moody Bible Institute Basketball
You know the tension: you want to play college basketball, but you're also serious about your faith and education. That's not a conflict at Moody Bible Institute—it's the foundation. Head coach Andre Lodree has built a program in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference that treats both pursuits as non-negotiable. Here, your growth as a player happens alongside genuine academic rigor and a community that shares your values. Moody's approach isn't about compromise. You'll compete against solid CCAC opponents while developing in an environment where your coaches know you as a person, not just a roster spot. Lodree emphasizes fundamentals, basketball IQ, and the kind of resilience that transfers far beyond the court. The culture expects you to show up mentally prepared, execute within the system, and handle adversity with maturity. This is Division III basketball—which means you're playing for the right reasons. You'll get meaningful minutes, develop under coaching that cares about your long-term trajectory, and graduate with a degree from an institution that opens doors. The competition is legitimate, the academics demand your best, and the spiritual environment reinforces who you are off the court. If you're looking for a place where basketball fits into a larger vision for your life, Moody deserves serious consideration. The recruiting process rewards players who can demonstrate consistent growth and readiness. Florida Coastal Prep's training environment in Fort Walton Beach, FL is designed to produce exactly that profile. Explore the program at floridacoastalprep.com.
D3 basketball is about finding the right combination of competitive play, academics, and fit. Because there are no athletic scholarships at this level, understanding the honest differences between divisions ensures you're making the right choice for your college career.
What Recruits Should Know About Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Basketball
D3 programs like Moody Bible Institute do not offer athletic scholarships, but that doesn't mean attendance is unaffordable. D3 schools use academic merit aid, need-based financial aid, and institutional grants to build competitive rosters. Coaches recruit players who genuinely want to be at their institution — fit matters more at this level than at any other.
The Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference competes at a high D3 level, and players who thrive here are committed to both their sport and their academics. Coaching staffs watch film year-round but have more limited evaluation budgets than D1 programs. Reaching out directly with strong academic credentials, updated film, and a clear interest in the school's academic programs significantly improves your chances of receiving an offer.
