Who Thrives Here

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.

PASSION

Kids Who Can't Get Enough

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.

DRIVE

Self-Starters

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.

STANDARDS

Students Who Earn the Field

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.

Why Families Choose TPH St. Louis

Training Within School Hours
