Empowering student-athletes for success in college and life.
About Pente Sports Academy
Pente Sports Academy is a private, college-preparatory academy and elite training center located in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving student-athletes in grades 6 through 12. Established in 2023, Pente was founded with a vision to provide a world-class, high-performance training and academic experience. Since then, we’ve become a recognized leader in student-athlete development—blending academic excellence with advanced athletic training in a supportive and professional environment.
We began with Pente Soccer, earning distinction for our innovative coaching methods, personalized player development programs, and state-of-the-art facilities. Through strategic partnerships with Indoor 5 Soccer, Fuzion 5 Athletics, Limitless Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy, and Albion SC Las Vegas, our athletes benefit from a full spectrum of training, wellness, and competitive opportunities designed to help them grow—on and off the field.
In 2025, we expanded and rebranded as Pente Sports Academy—marking the launch of Pente Hockey through our exciting partnership with Elev802. This evolution reflects our commitment to providing elite, sport-specific training across multiple disciplines. Whether in soccer, hockey, or athletics, our programs are built to empower athletes with the tools, mindset, and mentorship needed to unlock their full potential.
Academics That Fit the Athlete’s Life
At Pente, we understand the unique demands student-athletes face. Our academic model offers flexibility, structure, and support, ensuring that students thrive both academically and athletically. With small class sizes, credentialed educators, and a personalized curriculum, students engage in rigorous, college-preparatory learning that encourages critical thinking, creativity, and lifelong curiosity. Our August–May school calendar is designed to complement competitive sports schedules while maintaining a strong academic foundation.
Athletics with Purpose
Athletic development at Pente goes beyond practice and gameplay. We deliver a comprehensive player development system that includes performance training, recovery services, injury prevention, and position-specific coaching. Our athletes are challenged and supported to grow in character, discipline, and leadership—traits essential for long-term success in sport and life.
A Whole-Person Philosophy
At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to developing the whole student-athlete. Guided by our core values—Knowledge, Respect, Courage, Excellence, and Integrity—we nurture personal growth alongside athletic and academic achievement.
