Academy 48 Soccer
Where Student-Athletes Train, Compete, and Thrive
At Academy 48, we believe the best athletes are built through balance, discipline, and opportunity. The 2026/27 school year will introduce soccer to our athletic offerings. The Academy 48 soccer program combines teacher-led NCAA-approved academics with elite coaching and competitive play, all within a structured school day.
WE CREATE ATHLETE LIFE BALANCE.
NCAA Approved Academics
Academics are top of mind during the recruiting process. Our hybrid approach to academics helps student-athletes stay focused. We take pride in our in-house teaching staff, who help our student-athletes achieve the grades and marks needed to continue chasing their dreams.
High-Level Competition
We continue to find new ways for our student-athletes to compete at a high level, including high school, middle school, and club teams. Our approach to athletics is to train and develop each athlete in technical and tactical soccer skills to be successful on the pitch.
Beyond The Pitch
We know that there is more to youth sports than just winning games. We take pride in helping our student-athletes continue to thrive even after they are done playing. We build high-character individuals through our leadership, character development, and mindset courses built for beyond the pitch.
College Recruitment
Once your athlete is ready for the next step in their athletic journey, we help build a plan for maximum exposure. We teach our student-athletes and parents how to prepare communication for coaches, edit highlight reels for colleges, and pick the right college for their long-term success. Our goal is to help all our athletes find opportunities to continue playing in college.
Athlete Life Balance
Our mission is to help young athletes achieve balance in their athletic journeys. Our daily structure builds character in a tuition-free environment.
Balanced Schedules
We believe that family time and rest are important in our student-athletes’ lives, and our daily schedule helps balance their family schedules.
Tuition-Free Sports Academy
As the only non-profit sports academy in Arizona, we help families balance budgets so all athletes can continue to play at a high level.
Character Development
The mission is holistic development for athletes ready for life after sports, using sports to teach life skills.
