612Q’s Academy

612 Quarterbacks Academy is a unique quarterback training program focused on three areas: classroom learning, on-field practice, and athletic training. We will host a diverse range of guest speakers for our classroom training sessions. On the field, they work with 612Q's coaches to improve mechanics and decision-making. Through a partnership with MASH Performance, athletes build strength, mobility, and other physical skills for lasting success. 
This year, we offer two programs to keep groups small and focused. The Elite Academy meets Sunday afternoons for advanced off-season training. The Premier Academy meets Monday evenings, continuing the successful format from the past two years. When you apply, you are applying for both programs and will be selected for one. These programs are for athletes in the class of 2030 and earlier.

From an Academy attendee last winter:

“This program pushes you to your limits and holds you to a college level standard. It’s different than any other quarterback program I’ve ever done.”

From a parent of last years program:

“My son came home every week feeling like he was pushed beyond his limit physically and mentally. I noticed changes in him vocally and with improved confidence going into summer workouts with his team.”

From a parent of last years program:

“612Qs Academy is a great program to not only improve footwork and arm strength, but more importantly, it offers a path in the off season to develop leadership skills in young men!”
