A 4-week After-School Sports Leadership Program
Beyond The Game: Foundations
The Foundations program serves underprivileged youth athletes through Arizona’s only sports leadership program. We combine fun, energetic athletic training with a weekly leadership curriculum that teaches boys and girls “Beyond The Game.”
About The Foundations Program
The Foundations program meets twice a week for 4 weeks at Victory Lane Sports Park in N. Phoenix. Each session is 90 minutes in length, combining a mix of sports training and character development – something few programs deliver together.
Leadership & Charecter
Academy 48 was built on a mission to use sports to teach leadership, mindset, grit, respect, and teamwork. Each session starts and ends with the Beyond The Game message.
Multi-Sport Training
Each sport teaches a valuable lesson, which is why Foundations is built around multiple sports, teaching each athlete through games, practice, and development.
