Our Model · The 4-Day Week

Four days at the academy.
One day for family.
A lifetime of compounding.

We don't replace school. We rebuild it. Parents lead core academics at home — as Missouri law requires and as we believe works best. Warriors handles the enrichment the factory model ignores: elite training, real business, discipleship, and deep mentorship. Fridays are yours.

The Weekly Rhythm

A week that gives you
your evenings back.

Every serious training program we've ever seen burns families out — practice runs until 9 PM, weekends are tournaments, parents eat dinner in parking lots. We refuse. Kids are home by 3. Fridays are open. You still get to be a family.

A Day at the Academy

Hour by hour.
Intention by intention.

Every block has a purpose. Every transition is coached. Every Warrior goes home tired, taught, and known.

This is an example day.

Each Warriors team's exact rotation varies — while one team is on the court, another may be in film, another in business work. The blocks below are representative, not a fixed minute-by-minute timetable.

9:00
AM/PM
Prayer · Devotion · Warmup

Scripture first. Every day opens in prayer. ATG mobility-first warmup readies joints, not just muscles.

FAITH · BODY
9:30
AM/PM
Athletic Training Block

Basketball-specific development. Dr. Dish reps. Skill work. Small groups, position-specific, coached every possession.

TRAINING
11:30
AM/PM
ATG Specialized Training + Recovery

30 minutes of ATG specialized strength and mobility, then 15 minutes of recovery — stretch and cold tub.

ATG · RECOVERY
12:15
AM/PM
Family-Style Lunch with the Coaches

Coaches and athletes eat together at one long table. No phones. This is culture hour — where brotherhood is built in conversation, not drills.

CULTURE
1:00
AM/PM
Entrepreneur Unschool · Business Building

Real business builds. AI, marketing, finance, video, code. Students run real client work for local Springfield businesses — and get paid for it.

BUILD · EARN
2:30
AM/PM
Film Study + Big Brother Mentorship

Watch film from the morning. Older Warriors mentor younger ones in Big Brother sessions. Close in prayer. Home to family by 3 PM.

REFLECT · MENTOR
A NOTE ON ACADEMICS

Core academics (math, English, reading, science, social studies) are parent-led at home — that's the model. Homeschool parents spend on average 1–2 hours per day on core academics. For any subject parents want backup on, Warriors families get partner-discount access to Numerade's AI video tutor library.

Who Teaches What

The split that makes
both sides stronger.

Parents keep what only parents should teach. Warriors handles what parents can't efficiently do at home — ATG-certified strength coaches, real client businesses, a full gym, and a community of disciplers. Neither side is overloaded. Both sides are deep.

PARENTS
At Home · Parent-Led

Missouri law requires parents lead 51% of instruction.

Math

Curriculum of your choice — Saxon, Beast Academy, Khan, Teaching Textbooks. Your call.

English · Reading

Core literacy and composition. Warriors supports but does not replace.

Science

Lab work, reading, hands-on. Some families do co-op; many go textbook + field trips.

Social Studies

History, civics, geography. The canonical 51% that keeps you compliant.

Faith at Home

Daily Bible. We complement — we never replace the family altar.

WARRIORS
At the Academy · Warriors-Led

Four days a week, 9–3. The enrichment public school ignores.

Elite Athletic Training

4 hours/day of basketball-specific development inside the academic day. ATG-certified, injury-first, strength-and-speed-integrated.

Entrepreneur Unschool

Real businesses, real clients, real money. AI, code, video, marketing, finance. An athlete can earn back tuition.

Christ-Centered Character

Daily devotion. Mentorship. The Big Brother Badge Economy where older Warriors teach younger ones.

Warrior Life App

Mission Control for sleep, nutrition, readiness, reflection. Gamified. Parent dashboard included.

Family Culture

Coaches eat lunch with athletes. Families know each other. Community is the scaffold around every kid.

The Law · Plain English

Missouri got this right.
So we follow it closely.

Two Missouri statutes shape how Warriors Academy operates. Both are good news for families who want to build something better than the factory model.

RSMo 167.031
Missouri Homeschool Law

Parents are legally responsible for 1,000 hours of instruction per year, with a minimum of 51% led by the parent in core subjects. Warriors Academy operates as an enrichment co-op, not a school — which is exactly what the law permits and why we say "academy," never "school" alone.

51%
minimum parent-led
MO SB 63 · "Tebow Law"
Signed July 9, 2025 · Effective August 28, 2025

Missouri now allows homeschool students to participate in public-school activities, including sports, music, and clubs. Warriors athletes can still play in Missouri State High School Activities Association events — and many do.

Why Four Days

Because a fifth day of drills
isn't what the great ones
had in common.

Recovery is a skill

Elite performers rest on purpose. A Friday off is not a day wasted — it’s a day that makes the other four compound. Sleep, play, walk, travel, read.

Family is the scaffold

Kids who burn out aren’t missing minutes of training. They’re missing family dinners, weekend mornings, and the feeling of belonging to something older than their sport.

Depth over volume

Four focused days produce more adaptation than six distracted ones. We’d rather do fewer things obsessively well than more things adequately.

See a day
before you decide.

Reading about the 4-day week is one thing. Living a day of it is another. Come spend one with us.
