Concord, NC — Dr. Dish, a leader in basketball shooting technology and player development, today announced a partnership with Kemba Walker Sports Academy (KWSA), becoming the academy’s Official Shooting Technology Partner at its new facility in Concord, North Carolina.
Created to be the place Kemba Walker never had growing up, Kemba Walker Sports Academy is a premier multi-sport training facility built to support athletes of all ages. Designed to develop skill, discipline, and confidence, the academy provides a professional environment where players can train, compete, and grow, on and off the court.
As part of the partnership, Dr. Dish shooting technology will be integrated into KWSA’s training environment to help athletes maximize their shooting repetitions and gain actionable insight into their performance.
KWSA selected the Dr. Dish Arc1 as its basketball shooting machine of choice, giving athletes access to the only shooting machine on the market featuring Arc Tracking technology. Arc1 goes beyond tracking makes and misses, capturing the trajectory of every shot to provide athletes with a deeper understanding of their shooting performance. With data on shot arc, players can identify trends, understand why a shot goes in or misses, and make real-time adjustments to improve consistency.
The Arc1 combines automated rebounding and passing with advanced shot tracking, allowing athletes to get high-volume, game-like repetitions while spending less time chasing rebounds and more time focused on their development.
“To have a tool like that (Dr. Dish Arc1 ] is next level,” said Kemba Walker.
The partnership brings Dr. Dish’s technology into KWSA’s player development programming, giving athletes access to a training experience that combines high-volume shooting with data-driven feedback.
“Dr. Dish is excited to partner with Kemba Walker Sports Academy and support the vision Kemba has for developing the next generation of athletes,” said Ryan Peterson, Marketing Manager at Dr. Dish. “KWSA is creating a training environment where athletes can put in meaningful work and continue to grow, and the Arc1 is a natural fit for that vision. We’re excited to be part of the facility and to see how athletes use the technology to elevate their training.”
Located in Concord, North Carolina, Kemba Walker Sports Academy will serve as a destination for athletes looking to develop their skills and take their game to the next level. The collaboration represents a shared commitment between KWSA and Dr. Dish to provide athletes with the tools, technology, and training environment needed to maximize their potential and build better shooters.
