TPH Academy facility will be located at the Vale Health and Wellness Centre

An elite sports training academy is coming to Port Colborne. 

TPH Academy has announced a new campus at the Vale Health and Wellness Centre. 

Student-athletes will have a chance to develop their skills in the classroom, as well as on the ice, field, court or turf, through academic, athletic and mentorship programs.

"The heart of TPH Academy’s purpose is to advance, in and beyond the game, the next generation of impact players," shared TPH Academy CEO Alan Keeso. "We are looking forward to welcoming student-athletes and families of the Niagara Region to experience this unique environment we’ve created, where student-athletes can grow together in and out of the classroom, all while working towards their academic and athletic goals."

The Vale Health and Wellness Centre already provides two sheets of ice, an indoor gymnasium with basketball and pickleball courts, outdoor athletic fields, and areas for dry-land and weight training.

Students will get their academic credentials through Ontario-certified and NCAA-accredited course materials that can be completed in the classroom or online. 

The campus will open this spring, and interested applicants can find out more here
