THE ACADEMY

THE STANDARD IN QUARTERBACK DEVELOPMENT.

APPLICATION
Young athletes wearing black shirts with 'ACADEMY' printed on them, sitting attentively at tables during a classroom or training session in a modern indoor facility.

Through quarterback-specific training, film study, classroom sessions, visits from college coaches, and competitive environments, athletes develop the tools needed to perform at the next level.

Why the Academy

612 Quarterbacks Academy is an elite, fast-paced quarterback development program built around classroom learning, on-field training, and competitive development. Last fall, we hosted 15+ college coaches from all levels , creating a competitive environment with athletes from across the state.

Athletes train with 612Q's coaches to develop consistency with mechanics, decision-making, leadership, football IQ, and the skills needed to compete at the next level.

Athletes apply for the Academy and will be selected for the program that best fits their development. Open to athletes in the class of 2031 and older.
A classroom filled with young men attentively listening to a man giving a presentation. The students are wearing black shirts with the text 'OWN THE MOMENT' on the back. There is a large screen displaying a slide about a football player, with text including 'ABOUT ME' and 'QB'. The room has a modern design with exposed ductwork on the ceiling and large windows letting in natural light.

The Standard

This program is built for quarterbacks who want more.

The Academy is designed for athletes who understand that development is earned. Growth happens through consistency, discipline, and the willingness to be challenged.

  • The best quarterbacks are always learning. They accept feedback, apply coaching, and constantly look for ways to improve.

COACHABILITY: 

  • Growth happens outside of comfort zones. Academy athletes are pushed to compete, adapt, and attack every challenge with confidence.

EMBRACE CHALLENGES: 

  • Elite development requires consistency. The athletes who separate themselves are the ones who put in the work every day.

COMMIT TO IMPROVEMENT:

HOLD THEMSELVES TO A HIGHER STANDARD:

  • The Academy is about more than football. It’s about building leaders who prepare, compete, and represent themselves the right way on and off the field.

Academy Reviews

  • "Our experience with the 612Q's coaching team has been incredible. They have helped Mason grow not only as a quarterback, but as a leader and young man. The foundation, discipline, and confidence they’ve built go far beyond the field. 612Q's isn’t just developing quarterbacks — they’re building leaders and shaping futures.

    • Ryan Stene / Parent of Mason Stene

  • "Our son has made significant strides as a quarterback through his work with 612Q. The knowledge, experience, and guidance Quinn provides have made a tremendous impact on his skills, confidence, and overall development. We highly recommend 612Q to any quarterback looking to improve their game and take their development to the next level."

    • Crystal Creighton / Parent of Reed Creighton

  • "This was our first experience with 612Q's and it has been the best return on investment in our QB journey. Quinn and his team run a smart, fast-paced program that understands every aspect of quarterback development and recruitment. Our son has improved quickly, gained confidence, and continues to grow as opportunities open up. The training environment is competitive with high-quality reps, and he has built strong relationships with top quarterbacks across the state. We highly recommend 612Q's Academy for any QB looking to reach their highest potential."

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!”
