An annual opportunity to learn a new sport, strengthen skills, and prepare for fall tryouts

Every summer, The Mary Louis Academy offers a series of athletics clinics led by TMLA coaches, designed for middle school students and rising freshwomen. These clinics provide a fun, supportive environment for students to learn a new sport, enhance foundational skills, and gain confidence ahead of fall tryouts in late August.

Whether your daughter is trying a sport for the first time or preparing to join a TMLA team, our summer clinics offer an authentic Hilltopper training experience.
