From CAL Sports Athletes to College Grads!

CAL Sports Academy has had the honor of training many young athletes who have grown into successful young adults. We’d like to share with you the recent accomplishments of 3 former CAL students who are moving on to great things.

Caitlyn was a part of the CAL Sports community! Not only did she play for our girls team but she also gave back to the community by volunteering her time at our In House leagues and yearly parades. She graduated from Perkiomen Valley High school, she then went to Moravian College and Graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in Special Education with Early Childhood and Special Education Teaching Certifications.
