Sports Academy is committed to provide the finest facilities and instruction available for its campers. In addition to learning from the pros, we promote a safe and healthy environment with a concentration on fun. Unlike other sports oriented camps, the academy offers a well-rounded curriculum to teach student athletes skills that will help them win both on and off the playing fields.

In addition to receiving individual skill instruction and team fundamentals, students participate in our Life Skills Development Program. With this important training students will develop the emotional and cognitive skills necessary to overachieve at athletics and the day to day challenges of life. Sessions focus on how to set and achieve individual goals and show students how to develop personal leadership and maintain a positive psychological attitude. We also encourage sportsmanship in a competitive environment.

A significant enhancement has been added to the Academy’s program. The Academy will introduce the icebox mental skills and toughness-training program. The program is designed to enhance an athlete’s ability to relax at will, develop laser-like focus and concentration when they need it the most. The program focuses on the 4C’s of peak performance mental skills: Composure, Concentration, Confidence and Commitment skills.

The Academy will utilize the latest in video technology to record and analyze individuals hitting, pitching, catching, or basketball shooting techniques.

The Sports Motion Analysis and Review Tool is a powerful teaching device to enhance the performance of an athlete. The SMART video system software is especially designed to analyze and report sports motion. The tool is especially useful with younger athletes as they can see for themselves what adjustments they need to make to improve their performance.

The ProBatter® Professional baseball system is a true-to-life baseball pitching simulator for use at any level. The system includes a video component that permits a hitter to observe the life-size image of an actual pitcher winding up and delivering a pitch, which is thrown through the video screen by a computer, controlled pitching module.
