About University of Cincinnati Clermont Basketball
Toughness wins here. Steve Ellis builds Cincinnati Clermont teams that demand ball movement, defensive intensity, and accountability every single possession. You'll compete in the USCAA Ohio Athletic Conference against opponents who play with edge and precision. This isn't a program that coddles development—it's one that expects you to arrive ready to compete or accelerate your growth immediately. Ellis values basketball IQ and coachability above everything else. Players who want to talk more than execute don't fit. The pace is fast, the expectations are clear, and the culture runs deep. Your role matters. Your effort shows. Excuses don't stick around long. If you thrive in systems where hard work gets recognized and results matter, this is where you belong. Cincinnati Clermont wants guards who see the floor, forwards who move their feet on defense, and centers who control the paint. Every player on the roster knows the standard. Every player knows what it takes to earn minutes. This program won't wait for you to figure it out—you either rise to the challenge or make room for someone who will. 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/.
