School Details
The United States Sports Academy, a non-profit, independent institution, was founded in Daphne, Alabama in 1972. It originated after the underperformance of the United States Olympic team in the 1972 Olympics, which revealed a lack of quality training and coaching for the athletes. The Academy’s core focus is on offering sport-specific education, providing research, instruction, and service to enhance coaching. Graduates from the Academy have gone on to become teachers, managers, coaches, researchers, and healthcare providers in various sports fields, spanning from recreational to Olympic levels.
The United States Sports Academy offers a range of degrees, including bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in sports science and management. Additionally, it provides certificates in subjects like coaching, fitness, and personal training. Notably, the Academy’s Distance Learning Program enables students to pursue their degrees and certifications entirely online, granting them the flexibility to study at their own pace and from any location. All courses are available through their online platform, allowing individuals to access quality education in sports science conveniently.
