"YOUR FUTURE IS NOT AHEAD OF YOU, IT'S INSIDE OF YOU" - M.M.

Preparing Tomorrow's Athletes is a family-owned facility created by Cedric Thornton, former defensive lineman of the NFL. He wanted to be more involved with his children who were growing up and becoming elite players in sports, so he decided to step away from his career to help prepare them for their future. He began to train them in his yard and then other children from the neighborhood begin to join, and it just kept growing so he decided to open a training facility. PTA offers each athlete a chance to train with professionals that will help them reach their full potential. We train so that the moment is not new to us. Join us and give yourself a chance to grow and become your very best version and a chance to compete with confidence.

What they sayin'

Preparing Tomorrow's Athletes is the kids home away from home. Cedric Thornthon is always encouraging and lifting up these kids with endless patience and commitment to their success on and off the field.

Cedric and his coaches are awesome. They've taken my two kids who were average players and indifferent about their sports to being very good players who now care about getting better and look forward to practice and games. Cedric teaches the fundamentals and techniques that my kids haven't gotten elsewhere that has greatly improved their ability and enjoyment. And he makes it fun for them. I am very thankful for everything they have done for us. You won't find a better person or training than this.

Signed my son up for Training and he loves it. Staff is friendly and very helpful in demonstrating each drill/exercise. Each drill is designed for his skill level today. We have seen improvement in his strength/conditioning/skills in only 2 weeks. Coach Cedric pulled my son on the court (basketball) as soon as he came in day 1 and coaches included him in the drills immediately. My son felt like part of Coach Bobby's team from the start. Coach Cedric is very interactive with the kids no matter the skill level. I asked my son if he wanted to continue going, he said "Yes it was fun".  I will take that answer all day long. I see my son more energetic and excited to go each time.
