Benefits to Student Athletes

US Army Bowl Skills Academies produce measurable metrics athletes can utilize in various leadership settings. Our programs include agility training, combine drills, classroom work (Off & Def schemes), 7-on-7 games, hand fighting tactics and more led by industry professionals. Athletes’ metrics (height, weight, wingspan & hand-size) are taken to show progress in time, additional data will be given to scouts and recorded for future programs.

Our programs provide athletes with special coaches to relay their stories & devote time to creating successful leaders. Prizes & program scholarships are given to top performers: MVP, Grittiest Player and Up & Coming Star.

Lastly, top performers earn nominations to the National Combine (High or Middle School) hosted by the U.S. Army Bowl, gaining exposure for the years of hard work and dedication.
