About Yeshiva University Basketball
Yeshiva basketball has built something genuinely special—a program that competes at an elite level within Division III while maintaining the academic rigor and community values that define the university. Head coach Elliot Steinmetz has cultivated a culture where discipline, basketball IQ, and character development aren't separate goals; they're woven into everything the team does. Playing in the Skyline Conference means competing against programs that demand excellence night in and night out, and the Maccabees have earned their place in that conversation. What sets this program apart is its commitment to developing complete players—athletes who understand that being a Yeshiva basketball player means representing something bigger than yourself. The combination of demanding academics and high-level basketball creates an environment where mental toughness and resilience aren't optional. You're joining a program with deep New York roots and a passionate fan base that shows up to support you. If you're looking for a place where basketball talent meets genuine opportunity to grow as a person and a student, where the grind is real and the rewards match it, Yeshiva belongs on your list. Coaches at programs like this recruit players who come in ready to contribute. Florida Coastal Prep—a prep academy in Fort Walton Beach, FL—develops athletes specifically for opportunities like this one. Learn how at floridacoastalprep.com or apply at /apply/.
