Elite Athletic Academy is for the student athlete who wants to pursue their passion in a sport while excelling academically
Elite Academic Academy is NCAA Approved!
The Elite Athletic Academy (EAA) offers its students the truly unique opportunity to customize their education and athletic development to succeed academically while taking their sports performance to a whole new level. We offer a variety of ways for students to meet the physical education requirements for independent study, while enjoying access to an exclusive program to improve physical fitness and athlete performance at the competitive level.
EAA offers families a clear and defined pathway to elevate athlete performance and increase chances of earning a college scholarship. We are part of a national sports ecosystem based on a highly efficient data-driven model that holds all parties accountable and provides guaranteed trackable results.
The EAA model provides student athletes of all levels the unique opportunity to benchmark, individualize and elevate their athletic development. Our expertise and focus is in three distinct areas:
- Testing
- Training
- Recruiting
NCAA Eligibility is hard to navigate, especially during COVID-19. Check out these official NCAA resources to make sure you are on track to be eligible!
Elite Academic Academy Has Partnered with Sports Academy
Elite students now have the unique opportunity to train with Sports Academy! This new partnership provides world-class athletic opportunities as part of the Elite experience,
giving students access to Sports Academy’s state of the art facility, where they can complete basic assessments, sports training and more, as well as their RISE app for training at home.
Meet Some of Elite’s Outstanding Student Athletes!
DeAndre Carter originally enrolled at Elite so that he could have a flexible school schedule to coincide with his Football endeavors. What he received was much more than that. Watch the story about DeAndre’s rise to success in his 8th grade year at Elite!
How Does Sports & Athletics Work at Elite?
- 5th, 7th and 9th graders go through our physical fitness test in accordance with the State of California physical education requirements. These tests include running, upper and lower body strength, and body mass index.
- Students interested in taking their fitness to the next level begin with an athletic and agility assessment (benchmarks). Then the athlete chooses to customize a data-driven training and development program OR multi-levels of competition, both of which run in 60-day blocks.
- Student athletes wanting specialized training or coaching connect with one of our vast number of supplemental community partners to help them reach their goals.
- Elite teachers, school counselor and Athletic Director help students compete for athletic scholarships if they want to continue their athletic career into college.
Athletic & Agility Testing
Elite uses a benchmark system to give student athletes a solid understanding of where they are and where they need to focus their efforts:
- How you measure up – Sports testing indicates clearly where you rank and provides a clear and defined road map to the next level.
- What to work on now – Testing should be done every 60-90 days to properly track your progression.Testing will identify strengths and weaknesses so athletes can adjust training using objective data, not guesswork.
- What colleges match your skills – Benchmarks are the advantage to college exposure and lead to more NCAA Scholarships. Elite’s NCAA Advisor customizes 1-4 year plans for our college bound athletes.
“We don’t guess where a student athlete can play, we measure it!”
