For decades the Poly Boys’ Basketball team has been a staple of New York’s Ivy Prep League, winning numerous Ivy League titles and NYSAIS championships, including four straight from 2020-2024. The program prides itself on its commitment to accountability, teamwork, and the pursuit of excellence. Our players compete with energy, passion, and support each other to achieve success on the court. Being part of a team builds healthy skills and resiliency that our students can carry with them long after they leave our gym.

At the professional level, Poly alumni have had great success, including 2x NBA All Star Joakim Noah ‘03 and Charlie Marquardt ‘13 who played in the NBA G League.
