Enrollment Options
Investing in a child’s academic and athletic future is one of the most important decisions a family can make. At the Players Academy, we are committed to working with our families to make our programs accessible to a diverse population of student athletes.
To fulfill our commitment to enroll motivated, high potential, and intellectually curious student athletes who understand and embrace our mission we offer a Flexible Tuition Program.

Flexible Membership Options
The Players Academy’s flexible membership program offers need-based assistance to families. This program allows families to apply for reduced tuition, taking their financial circumstances into account and making a Players Academy membership affordable to qualified students who could not otherwise join our community. We encourage all families to apply for Flexible Membership options if they think they may qualify.
Flexible Tuition F.A.Q.
We recognize that every family’s situation is different and that even a small amount of reduced tuition can make a critical difference for many families. We encourage all families to apply for Flexible Tuition if they think they may qualify.
To help us objectively calculate what a family is able to contribute to educational expenses, families are asked to complete an online financial form. The form offers an independent evaluation of a family’s ability to pay and is submitted to the Flexible Tuition Committee for review.
No. Unlike loans, our grants never have to be paid back.
No. Flexible Tuition grants are not guaranteed to remain the same year to year; in fact, they will change as families’ financial circumstances change. Because families may need one level of assistance one year—and more or less the next—all families are required to submit a new Flexible Tuition application every year. Students must remain in good academic and disciplinary standing in order to qualify for Flexible Tuition.
Admission applications and Flexible Tuition applications are reviewed separately, and submitting an application for Flexible Tuition has no bearing on an applicant’s admissibility. In addition, Flexible Tuition applications are confidential. Information is viewed only by the Flexible Tuition Committee, and only the Committee and the Business Office see the Flexible Tuition a family pays. All Flexible Tuition decisions are considered to be confidential agreements between the Players’ Academy and the recipient family and should be treated in the same manner for families.
The Players’ Academy does not have the resources to offer Flexible Tuition to every student who qualifies for both admission and reduced tuition. We will not offer a space if we recognize that our Flexible Tuition budget will not meet a family’s Flexible Tuition need.
The Players’ Academy uses the Flexible Tuition financial form as a starting point in determining the demonstrated need of a family. This includes such factors as family size, number of children attending schools that charge tuition, and assess/liabilities that are not reflected in household incomes.
We realizes that some families experience unexpected temporary financial stresses due to the sudden loss of a job, family illness, or other circumstances. Families are strongly encouraged to contact our team as soon as it becomes apparent that there is a change in circumstance. We are happy to work with families to develop a temporary payment plan during a time of difficulty.
All financial information is treated as highly confidential. Only the Flexible Tuition Committee will see this information, and only the Committee and Business Office will see the award. Academic and athletic staff are not privy to any financial materials, nor are they aware of which families receive Flexible Tuition.
The committee takes into account multiple enrollments or student applications from a family when making a decision on Flexible Tuition. We encourage any family with multiple children for whom paying full tuition is a challenge to apply for Flexible Tuition.

Excellence is born when student-athletes are given the opportunity to train alongside motivated and like-minded peers who are similarly engaged in rigorous pursuits.
Strong Culture
At the core of our culutural paradigm is a focus on openness, cooperation, humbleness, professionalism and hard work.

Students can plan their coursework and schedule meetings with teachers around their training schedule. Our academic coaches support students in the creation of schedules that allocate time for study, training, and small group learning.
Mentorship
Our on-site academic coaches help students establish the healthy work habits necessary to succeed in virtual education. They coach students to become aware of their strengths and to develop healthy academic routines.
Anywhere Access From A Dedicated Workspace
While our athletes can do their schoolwork and attend class whenever and wherever they have an internet connection, we know they may not be ready for this flexibility. Our dedicated learning spaces provide a safe and structured environment for students athletes to study in on a daily basis.
