Who we are
At Gunslinger Academy and Junior Slinger Academy, our purpose goes beyond football drills. We are committed to developing confident, disciplined, and prepared young athletes who are ready for the demands of high school football and beyond.
Every session is structured with intention. Athletes receive detailed instruction in mechanics, route execution, timing, spacing, offensive and defensive concepts. Just as importantly, they learn how to think the game. We teach situational awareness, communication, leadership, and the discipline required to compete at a high level.
What Your Athlete Gains
When your child trains with us, they gain:

Healthy snacks and hydration provided each session to help athletes recover properly and ensure parents can count on a complete, organized experience.
Early exposure to high school-level offensive concepts and terminology. Athletes who participate enter high school already understanding formations, reads, route progressions, and play execution, giving them a competitive advantage over players without advanced preparation.
Each session also includes snacks and beverages to ensure athletes refuel and recover properly. We believe development includes taking care of the whole athlete focusing on preparation, performance, and recovery.
