What is CLR Academy?
CLR Academy is a free, weekly program rooted in sport sampling, holistic wellness and emotional social learning. We use sport as the vehicle to introduce new concepts and ideas. We offer arts and activities beyond sport while our monthly guests could be authors, martial artists, professional athletes, painters, nutritionists, historians, poets, musicians and more.
Led by our professional staff of Teachers, Social Workers, and Behavior Specialists who are consistently interacting and engaging with students on a weekly basis. The consistency and care from our coaches makes our program’s impact even larger.
CLR Academy’s year-round Superior Township location now offers sport, reading and dance programs.
Summer locations run on a 8 or 12 week cycle and locations vary year to year with details being announced no later than May.
Our K–8th grade program brings enriching, fun, and focused activities to one central, welcoming location. All children are welcome — regardless of school, town, or municipality.
How does it work?
1. Sport as a Foundation
We use the power of sport to teach discipline, teamwork, resilience, and confidence. Through basketball, soccer, football, and wellness programs, youth learn skills that translate far beyond the playing field.
2. Mentorship that Matters
Every young person deserves someone in their corner. Our coaches, volunteers, and community leaders build trusting relationships that guide youth academically, emotionally, and personally.
3. Community at the Core
We believe strong communities create strong futures. CLR Academy brings families, partners, and local organizations together to ensure every child feels supported, valued, and connected.
4. Expanding Minds Through New Ideas
Exposure creates possibility. We introduce youth to new perspectives, opportunities, and experiences—helping them imagine, explore, and pursue pathways they may have never considered.
5. Developing Leaders for Tomorrow
Our programs nurture character, leadership, and purpose. We equip youth with the tools to succeed today and to become positive, impactful leaders in the future.
Community. Leadership. Revolution.
