In-School Sports & Conditioning Program

AccesSportAmerica has been working with the Boston Public Schools, providing them with an extensive soccer and conditioning program, for more than 15 years. We generally work with the high school population, as they attend for seven years (until age 22). This way our staff has the opportunity to really get to know the students well, and help install routine and an important sense of athleticism and health for life. This program has expanded over the years, and can now be used in both gym and classroom settings. We have modified it so that even on days we cannot be at the schools, the teachers can facilitate these programs in the classroom. Our goals are to get students’ heart rates elevated for a minimum of thirty minutes daily, for students to view themselves as athletes, to feel good about being part of a team, and have fun while doing so.

We are pleased to announce that we have expanded our In-School Program to include Professional Sports Collaborations.   We are fortunate to work with several of Boston’s pro teams and use their expertise to inspire our athletes to train at higher levels.

New England Patriots

The New England Patriots have a special relationship with AccesSportAmerica. Josh Kraft and the Patriots Foundation have been longtime supporters. In addition, the Patriots work with AccesSport on conditioning curriculum and our annual football clinic. The curriculum is for use in our In School program using football as incentive for conditioning our athletes. The clinic is held each May at Harvard Stadium where members of the Patriots help run drills and celebrate the over 200 athletes with whom we train each year in Boston Public Schools and our In School program.

Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins have long supported our In School program. As a part of our In-School Program, we feature Street Hockey for several months. Our hockey segment in the schools is highlighted by a yearly clinic at Harvard University. Former goalie, Andrew Raycroft, is a frequent visitor!

Our current partner schools are:

  • Boston Green Academy, Brighton

  • Brighton High School

  • Community Academy of Science and Health (CASH), Dorchester

  • English High School, Jamaica Plain

  • Urban Science Academy & West Roxbury Academy, West Roxbury

  • Fenway High School

  • Brookline High School

  • The Cotting School

“The entire staff has helped me gain confidences I never knew that I had and put me on a physical upward spiral to better health. I have lost weight and strengthened my muscles, which has made it easier for my mobility, specifically transferring. The trainers are not only extremely well skilled in aiding the athletes, but they also make us feel comfortable and at ease. They go beyond being trainers and have become friends to my family and myself.”
