The Trench Academy - Tampa, Florida

The test of time is the best way to judge any program, and The Trench Academy not only passed but exceeded all of our expectations. My son Jake attended the summer before his College Freshman year (2020). He was taught principles of exercise and diet that he can carry forward for the rest of his life. And more importantly the core principles of sportsmanship, Team Values, and good old fashioned hard work.

Jake is now a 5th year Senior and a starting defensive lineman at Franklin College in Indiana. Jake went from 6'4" 205lbs his Freshman year to 6'4" 255lbs his Senior year. A lot of that is genetics but his strength has steadily gone up using the lifting techniques he learned at the Trench. The techniques of playing he learned at the Trench have been instrumental in Jake playing in the rotation for 5 years and now starting.

I highly recommend attending The Trench Academy. Karine, Taylor, and Antron are absolutely amazing people and most importantly lead by example. They make you feel like you are part of The Trench Academy family from day one! Thank you for everything you instill in your athletes!

My son is 13 and has been with Coach Ray at Trench Academy the last two years. It’s amazing the difference in his play, his knowledge, and most of all his attitude. The proof is in the film. It’s also amazing to watch these other athletes at Trench get D1 offers from their hard work. If you join Trench, you join a Team. If you’re part of the Team, you’re part of the family!! Send Coach Ray your O-Line athlete and watch them become the best version of themselves!!

Amazing adult training class coached by Antron Dillon.

Highly motivating and positive experience consistently with every class.

I feel like an athlete now and not just an amateur anymore.

I just wanted you to know that I have never had a Coach train my son like Coach Ray! I am not the kind of Parent that babies my son.
My son needs to hear it like it is, whether he likes it or not . Coach Ray has been such a BLESSING in our lives. I cannot tell you!! Truly, a godsend!! Coach Ray, has made my son a bigger and better player than he could ever be!! I can’t thank Coach Ray enough.
Coach Ray is the man for OL !!!! Because of Ray, my son has exploded on the field. I can’t thank him enough!!❤️❤️

in HIM,

Trench has been such a blessing to our family! Our boys have grown both mentally and physically under the mentorship of the coaches. We continue to be impressed with the quality of coaching and encouragement that they provide our boys. Our boys have grown leaps and bounds physically as they continue to work on their craft. Thank you coaches for your constant guidance! We truly appreciate you

What can I say. Our boys, 10 and 7, have already learned so much. Looking forward to the next 5-10 years of taking them here. Coach Taylor and his family r the best!!

I could not recommend Trench Academy more!!! Coach Ray is Incredible. My son has been training with him for about a year now. He has come so far already. Ray is kind, patient and the best teacher and mentor. He is not only teaching the best offensive line skills - he is teaching determination, perseverance, and work ethic that will stay with my son throughout his life. We truly feel Blessed to be part of the Trench Family. ?

I cannot say enough great things about Trench Academy or the coaches there! Taylor Scott gives so much of his time and effort to invest in each player to make them successful! He cares about them personally and spends countless hours helping them grow athletically and technically in their position. My son has been going there for 9 months and has had Coach Joseph, Coach Ray, and Coach Taylor all coaching him. I have seen so much growth in my son over the 9 months not just from the training, but from individual review of film. Coaches take the time to get online with him weekly to review his game film. They provide feedback and adjustments that we have seen a HUGE difference in his play and knowledge of the position and opponents. It has been so successful that many of his teammates are now coming to training and doing film review as well. We are so glad we found Trench Academy, and I am so thankful to all the coaches there for the investment in my child and others to help them be successful and coach them in a positive and constructive environment. I only wish we would have know about them sooner!
