Who We Are

Air Raid Academy (ARA Athletics Training) has spent over a decade developing athletes across the country, building not only their performance, but character, discipline, and confidence. Our approach is rooted in strong core values that guide every athlete’s journey, from grassroots to elite levels.
Our foundation is proudly Indigenous-led, founded by a member of the ’Namgis First Nation, and strengthened by a multicultural family background. With leadership representing Indigenous, Black, and Filipino heritage, our program is built on resilience, respect, and community.
We are committed to creating a space where athletes of all backgrounds feel welcomed, supported, and challenged to grow. Whether an athlete is just beginning their journey or striving for high-performance competition, ARA provides the structure, coaching, and environment to help them reach their full potential on and off the field.
