CAL Sports Academy is thrilled to mark our 18th anniversary! From humble beginnings as a community initiative, we’ve transformed into a renowned sports academy serving hundreds of athletes. In the past two years alone, we’ve experienced growth, increasing enrollment by 200 athletes. We’ve introduced an invite-only Advanced Volleyball League, revived our popular Grades 1-3 League, and launched Next Level Training programs for both volleyball and basketball. Our Summer Camps have also been a resounding success.
To enrich our athletes’ experiences, we’ve expanded into volleyball specialties and advanced training. Our new Lansdale location has broadened our reach across the region.
We proudly welcome exceptional new team members:

Through partnerships with local churches and daycares, we’ve deepened our community impact, inspiring a love for sports in countless young lives.
As we celebrate these milestones, we’re filled with gratitude and pride. Our journey is far from over. We’re committed to doubling the number of travel teams, allowing us to hopefully return to competing at the national level, creating exclusive girls-only programs, and implementing a comprehensive athlete development pathway. Our goal is to continue developing skills, building character, and inspiring future champions.
A heartfelt thank you to our loyal customers for being part of our incredible journey. Let’s create an even brighter future together!
