About Walla Walla University Basketball
You're weighing your college basketball options and wondering if you'll get the right balance between playing time, development, and academic support. Walla Walla University in the NAIA's Cascade Collegiate Conference gives you exactly that—a place where coach Brandon Broome builds players who can compete and grow. Playing in College Place, Washington means you're joining a program that values both floor time and intentional skill development. Broome's approach focuses on fundamentals and basketball IQ rather than just athletic tools. You'll work in a smaller-school environment where the coaching staff knows your game inside and out, adjusts your role based on what you need, and holds you accountable to genuine improvement. The Cascade Collegiate Conference is competitive enough to prepare you for higher levels if that's your path, but it's also a realistic stage where you can build consistency and confidence. Academically, Walla Walla supports your degree with the kind of flexibility that matters when you're balancing real basketball demands. The community is tight-knit, which means your progress gets noticed and celebrated—not lost in the noise of a big program. If you're serious about playing meaningful minutes while getting coached the right way, Walla Walla is a legitimate next step. Coaches recruiting for programs like this one look for players who've been developed in serious environments.

What Recruits Should Know About NAIA Basketball
The Cascade Collegiate 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.
Walla Walla University and its Cascade Collegiate 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.
Academic Eligibility and Recruiting Strategy for Walla Walla University

Our staff works directly with players to navigate the eligibility certification process and ensure their academic profile meets NAIA standards. Apply to FCP or talk to a coach about your eligibility situation.
