The academy is not the right fit for every child — and we say so openly. It is built for a specific kind of student-athlete.
The students who thrive here are juggling in the backyard, playing pickup at the park, and asking for more touches — not fewer. For them, burnout isn't possible. If that love isn't there yet, the academy may not be the right fit.
Students who are — for their age — self-driven, motivated, and dedicated to getting better. Surrounded daily by like-minded peers with similar goals, dreams, and passions, they push each other and have fun doing it.
Every student must meet their academic standard daily to be eligible to train. For our students, that opportunity means so much that staying eligible becomes its own motivation.
Development in athletics, academics, and character — with staff who genuinely care and communicate openly with families.
Driven, motivated students with shared goals and a love for the game. Iron sharpens iron.
Individualized on-field and off-field training during the day — more free time to relax, recover, and be a kid.
The same academy system refined over six years at TPH St. Louis Hockey Academy — sold out every year since 2020.
