A 4-week After-School Sports Leadership Program
Beyond The Game: Foundations
The Foundations program is Arizona’s only multi-sport 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 every Wednesday for 4 weeks at Victory Lane Sports Park in N. Phoenix. Each session is 120 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.
Each player will participate in 90 minutes of sports activities and 30 minutes of leadership-building activities.
