ATHLETIC PROGRAM
GRADES TK-12 • NCAA APPROVED
Elite’s Peak Performance Program is for the student athlete who wants to pursue their passion in a sport while excelling academically.
The Elite Peak Performance Program 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.
Our program 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 athletic 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, and recruiting.
Check out this year's SoFi Event!
We had a spectacular, once-in-a-lifetime kickoff to our Peak Performance Program at our SoFi event! Hundreds of students from across Southern California arrived in style with their teams via charter bus, ran out of the Rams tunnel, participated in Athletic benchmark testing on the field with Zybek sports, and had several celebrity and athletic speakers, such as actor Noel G and former NFL player Spencer Tillman. It was a night to remember! Thank you, everyone, for your attendance and support in celebrating our amazing athletes!

How does Elite Support Your Athlete?
"We don’t guess where a student athlete can play, we measure it!”
- 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 Educators, our school counselor, Peak Performance Athletic Lead and Sport Performance Coordinator help students compete for athletic scholarships if they want to continue their athletic career into college.
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.
