The United States Sports Academy is celebrating its 50th anniversary by hosting its largest alumni event ever. Academy alumni from the past and present are invited to attend an event that includes a party at the Gulf Coast’s most beautiful baseball park, a graduation ceremony, an open house and more on April 21-22, 2022.
On Thursday, 21 April, the University will open its doors for an Open House event with campus tours, refreshments, games, face painting, and more. That evening, guests are invited to attend a special alumni evening at the Pensacola Blue Wahoos vs. Montgomery Biscuits minor league baseball game at Admiral Fetterman Field in beautiful Pensacola, Fla., just a short drive from the University campus. The event is free and open to Academy graduates who register online here.
On Friday, April 22, the free 50 Years of Sport and Education Symposium will feature a highly regarded panel of speakers including Academy Honorary Doctorate recipient Professor Richard McLaren and others to be announced soon. The symposium will cover sport education and international sport for the last 50 years and into the future.
