We Help Athletes of All Ages — With a Special Focus on First-Time Gym-Goers — Develop Speed, Strength, Power, and Coordination So They Can Stay Healthy, Build Confidence, and Succeed in Sports
What is our Athlete Academy?
Our Athlete Academy is a gym for kids of all ages, where we provide fun, safe, effective, and age-appropriate athletic development that's tailored to each stage of growth. Our goal is to help athletes maximize their potential, stay healthy, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love for training.
We believe every child deserves access to developmentally-appropriate training, the opportunity to excel in sports, and a coach who genuinely cares about their growth.
Through our proprietary PLAY training methodology, we help athletes maximize their athleticism, build confidence, stay healthy, and develop speed, strength, power, and coordination, all while learning how to train properly.
Why Choose Us?
We understand that choosing the right development program for your child is crucial. Here’s what sets us apart:
Our Sessions Are Fun: We design our sessions to be both challenging and enjoyable. By creating a fun and supportive environment, we encourage kids to bring their best and smile every step of the way.
Proven Results: Our approach isn't just about activity; it's about achieving measurable outcomes. We're dedicated to helping athletes reach their full potential through innovative training methods.
Age-Appropriate Training: Unlike programs that treat young athletes like mini-adults, high schoolers, or professional athletes, we specialize in age and developmentally-appropriate training. We understand the unique needs of each developmental stage and tailor our programs accordingly.
Progressive Challenge: Every child progresses differently. Our expert coaches ensure that each athlete is challenged at the right pace, fostering growth while maintaining motivation and confidence.
Caring Coaches, Lasting Impact: Our coaches aren't just instructors; they're mentors who genuinely care about every child’s development. Their passion ensures that every interaction is meaningful and supportive.
Don’t Just Take Our Word For It…
“My 10 year old daughter has attended classes for a few months now and really enjoys the different athletic activities while working on her coordination and athletic ability in a fun way. Jeremy has a good relationship with the kids and I recommend his program for any kid that’s looking to improve their all around athletic performance.” -Kevin P., Grateful Dad
“My son, who is in middle school, was interested in becoming a better athlete and improving his soccer skills. He has attended the athletic academy classes followed by the soccer development classes. The athletic academy class has been challenging but not excessively hard. After attending the soccer development classes he feels that his soccer skills have improved. It was exactly what he was looking for. Scheduling and communication have been great. Scheduling classes has been easy, and Coach Jeremy has responded quickly to any questions. SMAA deserves a 5 star review.” -Ashley S., Ecstatic Mom
“Our work with Jeremy & his staff at SMAA has been exceptional for my daughter. It is the first time she’s ever done any sort of “training” to accompany all the sports that she does. She absolutely loves it. Loves the kids. Loves the activities. I know it is helping her improve coordination and reaction times but it doesn’t feel like work to her. Cannot say enough good things and I was not expecting it at all.” -Laura U., Appreciative Mom
