Academy Teams

ABOUT SSB ACADEMY TEAMS

The Split Second Academy Program is a team based program designed to give young athletes the opportunity to build winning habits while learning from great coaches in a competitive, flexible and supportive environment.

This program is intended for good athletes with a focus on long term development who want to improve their skills, have fun playing in a team environment while also having the flexibility to do other sports and activities.

Spring 2026 Evaluations (March 7-9)

Evaluation Process: SSB Academy teams are comprised of players who attend SSB Evaluations. We have our Evaluations in September for the Fall/Winter Season and in February/March for the Spring Season.

Through this process, SSB will help players find the most appropriate program for their long term development such as Academy Teams, Cobra Teams, Skills Training, league and more.
