High Performance Academy

Take a timeout and reset with High Performance Academy! ⚽️✨

We're excited to have HPA in the Sideline Lounge at the conference this year. They will be located in the lower lobby of the William Saroyan Theatre to move, recharge and reset between sessions.

HPA will have a 15-Minute Reset - a quick mix of guided breathing, easy stretches and movement, followed by a fun BlazePod reaction challenge. No workout clothes or fitness experience needed!

Times will be: 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM

Plus, stop by the HPA booth throughout the day for soccer and football accuracy challenges, agility games, Giant Connect Four and more!

What happens after school can shape a kid just as much as what happens inside the classroom. 🏃‍♂️ 🌟

HPA's Expanded Learning programs are built around a simple belief that every student deserves a space after school where they feel safe, supported, and genuinely engaged. Not just monitored, but mentored. Not just occupied, but growing.

Through physical enrichment, educational support, and leadership development delivered by coaches who are mission-driven, HPA is meeting students where they are and helping them discover what they are truly capable of.

This is what community impact looks like up close.

Great organizations are built from the inside out. ☀️🙌

At HPA, the people who show up every day, coaches, staff, mentors, and community members, are the reason everything works. They bring the energy, the consistency, and the genuine care that turns a program into something a young person remembers for the rest of their life.

This summer we are celebrating the culture that makes HPA what it is. The relationships that run deeper than the game, the communities that grow stronger every season, and the people who make it all happen!

A legendary summer starts at HPA.

This is what summer looks like when it is done right. ☀️⚽

Leagues filling up with players who show up every week because they genuinely love it. Camps packed with kids who are active, engaged, and building friendships that will last well beyond August. Communities coming together around the game and everything that comes with it.

HPA is that place this summer. For kids, for families, for communities, and for every person who believes that movement and sport have the power to do something real.

HPA Summer Learning programs are built for schools that want to keep students engaged, growing, and supported through the summer months without sacrificing the energy and joy that makes the season worth it.

Academic reinforcement, social emotional learning, and hands-on enrichment come together in a full day approach that gives kids structure, connection, and a summer they will genuinely remember.

Students stay active. Schools prevent learning loss. And communities get to watch their young people thrive during a season that too often goes to waste.

Every summer has the potential to be the one a kid looks back on and says that was the one that changed things. ☀️

It does not always happen in a classroom. Sometimes it happens on a pitch, in a gym, or in the middle of a game where a young person figures out they are more capable than they thought.

At HPA, we have seen it happen over and over again. A kid who was hesitant in week one becomes a leader by week three. A community that showed up as strangers leaves as something closer to family.

That is the power of summer programming done right, and it’s exactly what we are building this season.

What separates a good coach from a truly impactful one?

It is not just technical knowledge. It is the ability to see a young person fully and show up for them consistently.

The behaviors that define the most effective adults in youth programs include the following:

They name emotions without dramatizing them
They see behavior as communication
They hold high expectations without shame
They celebrate effort over outcome
They are present

What are your students doing beyond the bell?

HPA Expanded Learning programs turn the hours after school into some of the most impactful time in a student's day. Safe environments, consistent mentors, and programming that blends movement, creativity, and leadership into something kids actually want to be part of.

We meet students where they are, then we help them go further.

Positive youth development is a mindset, not a curriculum.

It is a strengths-based approach that asks a different question than most programs. Not what do kids lack, but what do young people need to grow into capable, confident, connected adults?

Research points to five consistent answers:

👉 Caring relationships with consistent, supportive adults
👉 Safe physical and emotional environments
👉 Opportunities to build competence and experience mastery
👉 A sense of belonging and connection to a community
👉 Chances to contribute meaningfully and exercise agency

Notice that none of those are activities, they are relational and environmental conditions. That is the core insight of positive youth development and it is why how adults show up is the most important variable in the room.
