Our Story
We have progressed quickly, having already partnered with Orlando City’s MLS Academy. This relationship and the many more we will be developing in the near future, allows us to provide the ideal learning environment to the players within the academy.
Our Mission
SAI Academy prepares our student-athletes for the rigors of a professional career and/or college curriculum by providing experienced teachers and coaches, low student-to-teacher ratios, and maintaining a wholesome approach for academic and athletic growth.
Our expert level coaching and mentoring creates an environment where success is inevitable. We believe in the personal development of our students and work hard to instill our core values as they embark on their future journey.
Our Methods
SAI Academy takes a modern approach to learning. Our student-athletes receive daily instruction through a hybrid learning model that mixes virtual learning with face to face instruction. With this unique approach to learning, our student-athletes are able to balance the demands in the classroom with their athletic training, without fear of compromising excellence in either.
SAI Academy graduates will be prepared for college and beyond. Sport specific development will be methodical, rigorous, and focused on developing creative, technically superior, and smarter players.
