Learning to train differently...
The hope is to establish twelve (12) of these academies to allow for core student-athletes ages 13 to 19 to train and compete safely. These are mainly outdoor facilities, which makes it a bit safer.
Once school returns to in person instructions student-athletes could then return to their regular school team training schedule, while the academies will maintain a training schedule for elite players.
