About Louisiana State University Alexandria Basketball
Every afternoon at the LSUA gym in Alexandria, you'll find Coach Larry Cordaro building something deliberate. It's a program rooted in the belief that hard work and discipline create opportunity—a philosophy that runs through the Red River Athletic Conference like a steady current. LSUA basketball isn't about flash. It's about players who understand that competing at the NAIA level requires consistency, mental toughness, and the kind of commitment that translates beyond the court. Cordaro has constructed a culture where development matters as much as wins, where each practice is a chance to earn minutes and prove you belong. The Generals compete in a conference that demands defensive intensity and execution—the kind of basketball that reveals character. What draws players here is authenticity. You're not joining a program chasing national headlines; you're joining one that's honest about what it takes to succeed. Alexandria provides a focused environment where a serious player can grow, where the coaching staff knows your name, your game, and your trajectory. The community around campus is tight-knit, and your basketball matters. If you're a guard who can shoot and defend, a wing with length, or a big man willing to work in the paint, LSUA wants to see your tape. You'll find an offense that moves the ball and a defense that demands accountability. Before you reach out to a program at this level, make sure your game is where it needs to be. Florida Coastal Prep exists to help serious players close that gap— through elite training, academic support, and real exposure. Start at floridacoastalprep.com or /contact/.

What Recruits Should Know About NAIA Basketball
The Red River Athletic Conference operates within the NAIA, where scholarship opportunities exist but recruiting timelines and standards differ from NCAA programs. NAIA coaches recruit primarily through direct outreach, exposure events, and coach-to-coach referrals. Academic requirements are governed by the NAIA Eligibility Center — a separate process from the NCAA.
Louisiana State University Alexandria and its Red River Athletic Conference peers offer full and partial scholarships to players who fit their system. Smaller rosters mean more playing time for the right player, and NAIA programs regularly produce players who transfer up to D2 and D1. Getting evaluated starts with sending updated film and a clear academic transcript directly to the coaching staff.
Strength and Conditioning for the NAIA Level
Body development is one of the most overlooked factors in college recruiting. NAIA coaches won't offer a player whose physical profile can't hold up to a 30-game college season. FCP's post-graduate program includes a dedicated strength and conditioning track that prepares players for the physical demands of college basketball — and shows up on film in ways that matter to coaches at programs like Louisiana State University Alexandria.
Our Spartan Training Center gives players access to professional-grade facilities and programming designed specifically for basketball performance at the college level. Apply to FCP and start building the physical foundation Louisiana State University Alexandria's coaches want to see.
