Providing individual attention to all Academy students in a Christ-centered environment is fundamental to the success of each student. The program is based out of St. Patrick Catholic School.

 

Organization, time management, and respect are reinforced as the cornerstones of becoming successful student athletes. High-energy training, attention to detail, and character development are key components of the program that is designed to prepare students for a future in athletics and life.

 

Students will encounter physical workouts on and off the ice/field and will receive professional instruction within an environment suitable for their overall development as a player. This environment will be both relaxed and disciplined allowing the athlete to embrace all activities with an understanding of what is expected of them.

 

Space is limited and the cost is estimated to be less than $150/month to cover this enhanced 10 month program.
