About University of Maine - Augusta Basketball
At University of Maine – Augusta, you're not just another roster spot. Head coach Paul Piscopo builds his program on genuine relationships between coaches and players, where your development matters as much as your stats. In the New England Collegiate Conference, you'll compete against programs that value substance over flash—schools where coaching is personal and accountability runs both ways. What makes UMA different is the culture of investment. With a smaller roster, every player gets meaningful minutes and direct attention from coaching staff. You're not lost in a massive program; you're known, challenged, and developed. The campus community embraces student- athletes, creating an environment where you belong both on and off the court. This is where basketball becomes part of a real college experience—not separate from it. Piscopo emphasizes fundamentals, work ethic, and character. He recruits players who want to grow, not just play. The program attracts serious competitors willing to embrace the grind of USCAA basketball while getting a legitimate degree in a supportive academic setting. Your coaches will know your family, your goals, and what you need to succeed. If you're looking for a place where your presence is felt and your potential is maximized, UMA offers that connection. Maine's tight-knit basketball community respects programs that do things the right way. 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/.
