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.
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.
· Home for dinner every weeknight by 3:30 PM. · Core academics at home, set to YOUR rhythm.
Every block has a purpose. Every transition is coached. Every Warrior goes home tired, taught, and known.
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.
Scripture first. Every day opens in prayer. ATG mobility-first warmup readies joints, not just muscles.
Basketball-specific development. Dr. Dish reps. Skill work. Small groups, position-specific, coached every possession.
30 minutes of ATG specialized strength and mobility, then 15 minutes of recovery — stretch and cold tub.
Coaches and athletes eat together at one long table. No phones. This is culture hour — where brotherhood is built in conversation, not drills.
Real business builds. AI, marketing, finance, video, code. Students run real client work for local Springfield businesses — and get paid for it.
Watch film from the morning. Older Warriors mentor younger ones in Big Brother sessions. Close in prayer. Home to family by 3 PM.
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.
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.
Missouri law requires parents lead 51% of instruction.
Curriculum of your choice — Saxon, Beast Academy, Khan, Teaching Textbooks. Your call.
Core literacy and composition. Warriors supports but does not replace.
Lab work, reading, hands-on. Some families do co-op; many go textbook + field trips.
History, civics, geography. The canonical 51% that keeps you compliant.
Daily Bible. We complement — we never replace the family altar.
Four days a week, 9–3. The enrichment public school ignores.
4 hours/day of basketball-specific development inside the academic day. ATG-certified, injury-first, strength-and-speed-integrated.
Real businesses, real clients, real money. AI, code, video, marketing, finance. An athlete can earn back tuition.
Daily devotion. Mentorship. The Big Brother Badge Economy where older Warriors teach younger ones.
Mission Control for sleep, nutrition, readiness, reflection. Gamified. Parent dashboard included.
Coaches eat lunch with athletes. Families know each other. Community is the scaffold around every kid.
Two Missouri statutes shape how Warriors Academy operates. Both are good news for families who want to build something better than the factory model.
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.
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.
· This is not legal advice. Every family's situation is different. We'll walk you through it in person.
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.
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.
Four focused days produce more adaptation than six distracted ones. We’d rather do fewer things obsessively well than more things adequately.
Reading about the 4-day week is one thing. Living a day of it is another. Come spend one with us.
