Coaching & Custom Team Training
Academy Internationals’ unique Custom Team Training is provided on your home field to enhance your team’s performance and competitiveness. The process begins with a pre-camp meeting with the high school coach and our staff to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the team. Our Advanced Gold Training Program is then adapted and customized to ensure goals and objectives are achieved. We provide daily feedback and an advanced coaching curriculum. Custom Team Training culminates with a written Team Analysis that will serve to help the coach throughout the season.
