SPRINGBANK
Established in 2015, Global Sport Academy sought to find an affordable model that supported and enhanced public-school programming for athletes and engaged the communities in which we operate.
Global Sport Academy integrates high-performance programming with access to superior coaching and resources during the regular school day to support the full life-cycle of the athlete.
Helping student-athletes build successful futures in
The Details
At Global, we believe in the journey over outcome. We believe in developing the person 1st, student 2nd, athlete 3rd and sport specialist 4th. We are leaders and sport-specialists whose development decisions are rooted in science. By fully integrating athletics, academics and leadership into one platform that is delivered and achieved during the school day, we offer a high-performance enhancement to publicly funded school systems.
Our student-athletes experience the most comprehensive program with cutting edge content and delivery. We help student-athletes develop physical, mental and social growth using guided discovery and fail forward methods. Rather than giving feedback we provide feed forward to our athletes, moving students out of their comfort zones and into their learning zones.

Faqs
Absolutely. The focus will shift to accommodate and work with your injury and recovery.
No. You must ensure you plan your timetable and academic plan with the counsellors to allocate the designated period for Global. Global is designed as a full-year program.
Click on the Button within FAQ called, "Program Registration Policy & Refunds".
You will need to meet with a counsellor at the school to determine if that is a viable option.
Programs are not identical due to things like facilities and other variables. We do the best we can though to create parallel programs that are very close.
Absolutely, and in fact we strongly encourage them to do so.
Elite is a mis-leading concept. The most important ingredients we look for in young student athletes is passion, character and determination. Our team looks at every student on an individual basis to assess if they have foundation to be successful in the program on all levels (sport, academics, leadership). Most of our students do excel and play in the upper echelons of their sport.
Yes, it does. The exception is within Golf whereby students are picked up at the golf course on certain days.
No. We only transport students during the day from facilities to the schools when necessary. This transportation is fully insured.
That is feasible as people’s journey in sport and life change. A meeting would be required with Global leadership to see if this is a feasible option for you and for Global.
This is not feasible as the program is designed within an annual timetable and vision.
No. We are looking for students who are achieving personal bests in the classroom. If you have comments that reflect disruptive in class, work not completed, distracted easily then it will be very difficult to be accepted into the program.
Yes, many of the programs will be full with wait lists. As a result, it is important you take time on your application to ensure you have the best opportunity to be accepted.
No it does not. Good planning in conjunction with the guidance departments ensure a constructive academic plan is created that will meet the needs of the student in their academic pursuits. There are exceptions and if this poses a challenge the counsellors and families work towards a solution.
No, this is not feasible and you must pick one option only.
