Rising Academy
What is the Rising Academy?
Players train twice a week at their home locations before coming together on Thursdays for full Academy training sessions led by multiple coaches and directors. This structure allows players to train in stronger developmental groups, build chemistry across locations, and prepare more naturally for the Competitive pathway.
The goal of the Academy is simple: challenge players at the right level, build confidence, improve decision making and understanding of the game, and create an environment where players can continue to grow both individually and as part of the larger Rising community.
