Step 1 The free workout
Minute 1: Open this week's workout and press play
Go to /weekly and you'll see one real workout from the Skills Academy library — the same guided training paying members use, rotating every week. Each drill comes with a video showing you exactly what to do, so there's no guessing and no "what should I even practice?" You watch, you rep, you move to the next drill. A wall, a stick, and a ball cover most of it.
Before you start, create a free account. It takes a minute, costs nothing, and it means your completion gets saved — which matters in about ten minutes.

Minute 10: Notice what didn't happen
- Scroll YouTube hunting for drills
- Text a coach asking what to work on
- Drive anywhere or pay anyone $80 an hour
- A structured workout told you what to do, showed you how, and tracked that you did it
You didn't scroll YouTube hunting for drills — YouTube is a library, not a curriculum, and a library only helps if you already know what you need, in what order, at what level. You didn't text a coach asking what to work on. You didn't drive anywhere or pay anyone $80 an hour. A structured workout told you what to do, showed you how to do it, and tracked that you did it.
That's the whole idea of the Skills Academy: a player who always knows exactly what to train next will actually train. The free Weekly Workout is one workout. The full Academy is 166 of them, organized into 49 series — and organized is the part that matters.
Step 3 Pick your path
Next: pick your position, and the Academy lines up your path
Inside Skills Academy Complete, you choose a position-based Skill Path — a guided sequence of workouts built for attack, midfield, or defense. From then on, training is one decision: tap the next workout. The path already knows where you are and what comes next.
Attack
Midfield
Defense
Workout 11 — Time & Room Shooting
Workout 12 — Catch & Face Dodge
UP NEXTWorkout 13 — Split Dodge Reps
Workout 14 — Shooting on the Run
Here's why that matters. A private lesson works because of the plan — a coach who says "do this today, build on it next week." The sequence is the product; the hourly trainer is the delivery method, and the expensive part. The Skills Academy delivers the sequence directly, available every day, without the hourly rate. Every session builds on the last one, because someone already did the planning for you.
Step 4 Watch the scoreboard
Every workout you finish moves a scoreboard you can see
Finish a workout and you earn points. Points stack into ranks. Ranks come with badges — and when you rank up mid-workout, the app marks the moment with a full-screen rank-up video. Your points, ranks, and badges keep climbing on their own, so the work you do alone in the backyard never feels invisible — and once you’re on a team, a leaderboard shows where you stand.
FOR PARENTS · COMPLETION TRACKING
- Tue · Split Dodge Reps · completed 6:42 pm
- Thu · Wall Ball Builder · completed 5:18 pm
- Sat · Shooting on the Run · completed 9:04 am
For parents, the same system answers the question you actually care about: is my kid really doing this? Completion tracking shows what got done and when.
The real Skills Academy team leaderboard — points earned from home workouts.
You stop being the engine. The system is the engine.
Step 5 Make it yours
Then: build your own workouts from the full drill catalog
Once the paths feel familiar, Skills Academy Complete lets you build your own workouts — mix any drills from the full catalog into a custom session. Shooting day before tryouts. A wall-ball-heavy week when the field is frozen. Dodging reps before a big game. The structure stays; you control what's in it.

This is the difference between an app full of videos and a training system.
Videos you watch. A system you follow — and eventually, you start steering it yourself.
FOR PARENTS
The math next to private lessons
One private lesson
$80+
One hour. Once.
Skills Academy Complete
$199
A full year. Every day.
$80 buys one hour. $199 buys the whole year. Free buys you proof.
One private lesson runs $80 or more, and it's one hour, once. Skills Academy Complete is $199 for a full year — less than three lessons — and it's there every day: guided workouts for your kid's position, a path that always knows the next step, and tracking that shows the work actually happened.
And to the parent worried this is more screen time: the screen is the instructor, not the activity. The reps happen in the yard, on the wall, with a stick in hand. The phone just makes sure they're the right reps.
And it's built for that phone: it installs as a real app on the home screen, a locked session mode keeps your kid inside the workout — not wandering the open internet — and the whole thing is built to be COPPA compliant.

NO PRESSURE
You don't have to decide anything today
The order is built to protect you. Do the free Weekly Workout first — it's the real product, not a demo reel. Then watch one thing: if your player comes back in and asks what the next workout is, that's your answer, and it costs nothing to find out.
If the worry is whether your kid will stick with it: when POWLAX surveyed 209 players, 91.3% said yes or probably to doing three 15-minute workouts a week. Kids will do the work. What they usually lack is direction — and the free workout lets you test exactly that before you spend a dollar.
- FreeThis week’s workout at /weekly
- Monthly$9.99 Basic or $29.99 Complete
- Annual$199 when the habit is obvious
When you're ready, start with Basic at $9.99/mo or Complete at $29.99/mo — monthly means you're never locked into a season your kid didn't show up for. Go annual at $199 when the habit is obvious and you just want the better price. No contracts, no sales call.
The workout either earns the upgrade or it doesn't.

The free workout is still sitting there. Go do it.
You've now seen the whole tour: a free workout, a free account, then a path, a next button, and a scoreboard. Every step after the first one is optional. The first one takes ten minutes and costs nothing — and it changes the question in your house from "did you practice?" to:
"I ranked up. What's tomorrow's workout?"
