We train the next generation of student – athletes and community leaders.
Core Prep Focuses on Three Pillars
Academics
We partner with established private schools so our student-athletes benefit from a traditional academic setting. Our accredited private middle community schools provide college preparatory courses in English, Math, History, and Science courses.
Sports Training
Our program is dedicated to total development and innovation. Each sport program is developed and managed by a team of expert coaches, former professional athletes, and specialized trainers. The combination of expert staff and world-class programming results in an athletic institution unmatched by any other to prepare for professional sports and/or college.
Life Skills
Core Prep Academy provides life skills programs focused on financial literacy, leadership, mental health, community service, and entrepreneurship.
Find Your Field
Core Prep Academy’s mission is to instill our core values of integrity, respect, commitment and diligence in student-athletes, empowering them to use their passion for sports to drive them to success.
Strength to Strength
Core Prep Academy is well-known for its strength and conditioning program for its student-athletes. We are partnered with well-known athletic performance program Athletic Gaines. All workouts are individualized to each student, and maximized for sports and physical wellness.
Athletic Performance
Athletic Gaines offers a full sports performance approach including physical therapy, individualized corrective, individualized corrective exercises, and individualized strength and movement programs.
Nutrition Plans
Our nutrition program includes individual nutritional consultation and analysis. We provide meal plan guidance that focuses on enhancing performance, accelerating recovery, and maintaining a healthy body weight.
Mental Performance
We develop a growth mindset through our mental performance program because the brain is malleable, not fixed. Feedback is essential to growth.
Taking a holistic approach to developing our student-athletes
Our Life Skills Program is provided by Core Sports Foundation, founded in 2015 with goals to actively shape, empower, and mold the next generation of student athletes and community leaders. The organization’s mission is to develop life-skills in student athletes in order to build high character, better understand themselves, and to create and foster a servant leadership based mentality.
Community Service
We provide monthly community service to many organizations in our partner school communities. We believe that giving should be a part of every student-athletes life to give perspective and create a heart of service during their primary development years.
Career Exploration
As a part of an ongoing assessment, CSF will expose student athletes to various career development opportunities. Our experienced and diverse staff offer programs and training in: career interest assessments, resume and cover letter writing, job interview skills. We will also invite guest speakers in various fields of interest to share their experiences with students, helping them to build a clearer picture of their future prospects.
Financial Literacy
Financially Lit! Is a Financial literacy program that focuses on giving student athletes the ability to understand and effectively use various financial skills, including personal financial management, budgeting, and investing. Financial literacy is the foundation of your relationship with money, and it is a lifelong journey of learning.
College Tours
We provide college tours for our student-athletes. Our belief is that exposure to higher education campuses will increase the interest of student-athletes to pursue going to college.
Lasting Learning
Partnered with UCLA, Lasting Learning is a community of the world’s foremost learning scientists with a focus on providing information about the best ways to enhance long-term retention of knowledge and skills across the lifespan. They create innovative products and services using the latest findings from the science of learning to help people learn more effectively and efficiently in the classroom, in sports, and in the workplace.
Entrepreneurship Program
Core Tank connects student athletes with the values and vision to achieve their dreams. We strive to change their mindsets so they believe in themselves and know what they can accomplish. Our own version “Shark Tank” We have students create a product or service and develop a business plan and pitch their business to the coaches to see if they can get an investment/endorsement for their business.
