What is Flyght Junior Academy
Flyght Junior Academy is a year-round, multi-sport youth development academy that introduces K-2 athletes to different sports while building the foundation they need for future athletic development. Instead of signing up for different organizations throughout the year, families can have one pathway forward. We want children to move, play, think, belong, and grow while discovering the sports and activities they enjoy.

More than sports
Flyght Junior Academy is powered by Flyght’s 222 Philosophy:
You’re an athlete for 2 hours each day. Who are you the other 22 hours?
We believe greatness isn’t built on the court alone.
Our mission is to develop the holistic student-athlete by preparing young people not just for sports, but for life.
Development focuses on four areas:
Athletics
Movement • Sport Skills • Competition • Physical Literacy
Education
Listening • Learning • Problem Solving • Goal Setting
Character
Respect • Effort • Accountability • Teamwork • Sportsmanship
Wellness
Nutrition • Hydration • Sleep • Confidence • Healthy Habits
At this age, we aren't trying to determine who the "best athlete" is. Our goal is helping every child:
Explore what they enjoy
Discover what they're good at.
Build confidence.
Learn how to compete.
Develop the foundation for what's next.
This is where the Flyght journey begins!
