Talk to a coach"I played at the highest level. Now I coach at it."— Jermaine Edmondson, Founder
EA Sports Academy was founded by Jermaine Edmondson — Michigan State alum and 3x Big Ten Champion — who saw a gap in Sacramento: youth athletes with real talent and no pathway to elite-level development. He built the academy to close that gap.
Every drill, every rep, every correction is grounded in what it actually takes to compete at the next level. We're not a rec program. We're a serious training environment for athletes who are serious about their game.
Our coaches didn't just study the game — they lived it at the highest level. Every session is led by athletes who competed at the collegiate, professional, and international level.
Founder
Jermaine's journey from standout high school athlete to Division I competitor at Michigan State shaped everything about EA Sports Academy. After competing at the highest levels of college football and earning three Big Ten Championships, he channeled that experience into building a premier development program focused on skill, football IQ, leadership, and character — preparing athletes not just for the next game, but for the next level.
Performance Coach
With 40+ years in football and a career spanning the NFL, CFL, and international coaching across the U.S., Canada, and Australia, Lucius brings elite-level expertise to every session. Thousands of his athletes have gone on to play at the collegiate and professional levels — many now coaching the next generation themselves.
Co-Founder
Keith's playing career as a standout scholarship running back laid the foundation for a coaching path focused on discipline, work ethic, and character development. As Co-Founder, he leads business operations and growth strategy at EA Sports Academy — ensuring every athlete gets a high-level, structured, and professional experience.
"My son came in as a decent athlete and left as a confident player. The coaching is different here — specific, demanding, and actually effective. He made the school team this year."
"We've tried three other programs. Nothing comes close to the coaching and structure here. Coach knows what elite actually looks like — and he holds the kids to it."
"The 1-on-1 sessions are worth every penny. My daughter went from backup WR to starting in two months. Route technique alone changed everything about how she plays."
