About Washington Adventist University Basketball
Washington Adventist University plays competitive NAIA basketball in the Continental Athletic Conference. This is a program that values players who are ready to step in and contribute immediately, not a developmental pipeline, but a straightforward opportunity to play college basketball while earning a legitimate degree. Head coach Jerry McFarland runs a disciplined program that prioritizes basketball fundamentals and off-court responsibility. You'll get real playing time here if you're a capable player willing to work within the system. The program competes consistently within its conference, and the environment rewards players who show up prepared and coachable. The Takoma Park campus sits just outside Washington, D.C., giving you access to urban resources while maintaining a focused academic community. Class sizes are manageable, and professors expect you to show up, there's no anonymity. That cuts both ways: you'll get individual attention in the classroom the same way you will on the court. This program isn't a stepping stone to NBA scouts. It's for players who want to play college basketball authentically, develop as athletes and students, and graduate with credentials that matter. If you're the kind of player who comes in ready to compete and coachable enough to fit into a structured program, this is a realistic fit. 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/.
