Keeping Kids In The Game

Beyond just helping athletes find balance, we strive to help youth athletes find places to play. Many of our programs are dedicated to helping keep youth sports affordable.

Help Youth Sports

25/26 Year

Year one of Academy 48 was a building the foundation

Tuition Free Sports Academy

The goal was to lay the foundation for an alternative to what is happening in the industry. Club and travel teams are building youth sports academies as the next evolution of youth sports. Many have yearly tuition above $25k per year. Our academic first approach to the sports academies resulted in:

12 Full-time students – 100% tuition free.
NCAA-Approved curriculum aided by character and mindset training.

Homeschool Athletics

Homeschool athletes are seeking new ways to achieve balance. Our homeschool program was a huge hit in the homeschool community.

3 high school players placed on a varsity high school team
15 homeschool baseball and soccer players trained

Open Group Tryouts

This was one of the best events we hosted all year. Over 70 players and 10 travel baseball teams joined us for the first-ever multi-team open tryout. The event was 100% free for teams and players.

21 players started travel baseball
7 players made a team in a higher division (AAA or majors)
4 teams finalized their roster before the spring season

Our Roadmap
(2026 + Beyond)

Over the next 3 years, Academy 48 is dedicated to building a teacher-led hybrid approach to academics, helping more kids stay in the game, and developing new programs to help build holistic student-athletes.

Academic Accreditation

As we continue to deliver world-class academics to our students, we will pursue accreditation so our graduating high schoolers receive a diploma from Academy 48, not a partner academic provider.

BEYOND BASEBALL

The 26/27 school year will introduce both men’s and women’s soccer. As teams are built, we will play ASA tournaments and leagues, competing against other soccer clubs throughout Arizona. Eventually, we will add more and more sports.

Middle School Team

Next year, Academy 48 will participate in middle school sports, including baseball and soccer. Our teams will be composed of Academy and homeschool students looking to compete against other schools.

High School Experience

Part of the school experience is going to high school. The 28/29 school year will introduce high school sports to Academy 48, along with a functioning high school. This will give our students school experiences such as homecoming, prom, and Sadie Hawkins.

New Programs for Youth Sports

We have seen a tremendous impact on youth sports over the last year. We had some ups and downs, but we will continue to build new programs that are 100% focused on developing youth athletes.

Bigger Partnerships that Drive Impact

Over the next few years, Academy 48 will build partnerships with the community and community partners to ensure that we continue to provide the best experience at a cost every family can afford.

Permanent Facility for Growth

We are closing new deals to ensure that we have fields and facilities to help our youth athletes chase their dreams. If we are being honest, a warehouse is not enough to hold our plans and vision.

National Program Exposure

Finally, we are building teams that compete nationally against other academies, clubs, and teams. Our national teams will be available to students who build upon our culture.
