The Trench Academy - Tampa, Florida

Best football decision I have made as a parent is investing in a commitment to The Trench Academy. I have 2 boys that have grown so much physically and mentally in their time at Trench. I am so grateful for Coach Taylor and his team. On top of knowing what they are doing, they care. At this point I consider The Trench Academy a partnership in my boys athletic development. I give The Trench Academy 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️

Here’s a draft for your review of Trench Academy:

“Trench Academy has been an absolute game-changer for my son, Chase. From the moment he started training here, we noticed a significant improvement not only in his strength and skills but also in his overall confidence. The coaching staff is phenomenal—they truly care about each athlete’s development and push them to reach their full potential.

The program is structured to focus on both physical strength and the technical skills needed to excel on the field. Chase has become more explosive, agile, and disciplined in his movements, and it shows every time he plays. The attention to detail and individualized training plans are what set Trench Academy apart from other programs.

Beyond the physical transformation, the positive and motivational environment has helped Chase build a stronger mindset and a deeper love for the game. I can’t thank the coaches and staff enough for their dedication to helping athletes like Chase succeed. If you’re looking for a program that truly delivers results, Trench Academy is the place to be!”

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.

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
