Daily Schedule
The schedule implemented by Middlebrooks Academy is designed to teach the challenge of balancing the demands of a college athletics career. This is undoubtedly challenging for any student-athlete. In comparison to their peers who only attend classes, student-athletes face greater demands on their time and are given many additional responsibilities as a result of their commitment to intercollegiate athletics. Our goal at Middlebrooks Academy is to train our student-athletes to ensure they are ready for the collegiate experience beginning the first day they step on a college campus.

(*) Student-athletes that live at home while attending Middlebrooks Academy are given an individualized schedule based on their travel time to and from our practice location(s) as well as hours of operation and travel time to and from a local gym near their home to do individual home workouts.
In addition to the above schedule, a student-athlete also has other responsibilities stemming from both athletics and academics. Academic success requires much more than simple class attendance. Students must read and study beyond doing the actual classwork and attend tutoring sessions as well as meet for group projects and class review sessions.
Even after fulfilling academic requirements, student-athletes are expected to participate in other athletically related activities. Additional athletics responsibilities may include: community service, promotional events, team meetings, video sessions, required tutor and study hall attendance, medical treatment, student-athlete development workshops, etc.
Once in college, the NCAA requires programs give student-athletes at least one day per week off and we therefore do the same.
A student-athlete’s daily academic and athletic commitment to represent a collegiate program is significant and time consuming. At Middlebrooks Academy, we are focused on simulating this experience, which prepares our student-athletes and eliminates the shock and transition time that other collegiate freshman often experience.
