A premium summer training program for young athletes who take the game seriously. Built and led by a Division I player who has developed athletes at every level — from college to the pros.
"Eighteen sessions of intentional training over six weeks. That's not summer camp — that's a season of development. Most kids get a long weekend. Our kids get a curriculum."
The Chicago football camp market is built around five-day, drop-off, station-rotation programs. Useful, but not transformative. Peak Performance Academy is built differently.
Three sessions a week, six weeks running. A real curriculum: fundamentals, position-specific work, speed and agility, football IQ. Twice-weekly evening sessions so working parents don't have to choose between training and their schedule. Small groups, structured progression, written athlete evaluations at the close of camp.
The founder, Aaron Garland, played Division I football. He has spent the years since developing athletes who have gone on to D1 programs and the professional level. This program is the result.
One price. One program. Every kid trained like the next D1 prospect — whether they end up there or not. Here's what every athlete walks away with.
Three sessions a week for six weeks. Each session 90 minutes of focused, structured work. No fluff.
Athletes train at their position with coaches who know the details — not generic skills-and-drills repeated for six weeks.
Cone drill timing at the start and finish — written, so parents and athletes see the work paying off in real numbers.
Every athlete is issued an official Peak Performance Academy training tee on day one. Earned. Worn. Theirs to keep.
Same curriculum, two windows. Choose the morning or evening cohort at registration. Each cohort caps at 30 athletes. Weekday sessions follow the times below; Saturday sessions run 10:00–11:30 AM for both cohorts.
Every session is led by a coach with playing experience and proven results developing youth athletes. No interns. No volunteers. No "we needed bodies."
