Is there a deadline to register?
Virtual school programs may have various deadlines. "Full-time" programs may have deadlines in July. Flex programs or home school programs won't have deadlines. A3 Academy on the baseball side does not have a deadline - however - we do try to manage the amount of registrations that we receive at a certain position by age. For example, if 2 catchers sign up for our post-grad program, we will hold a waiting list at that position. Therefore, it is first come, first serve.

Does a post-grad player have to repeat high school or go to virtual school?
No. Post grad players can take local classes at Hillsborough Community College, or similar, while in Tampa. Or they can enroll in classes at the online college of their choice so they are continuing to earn college credit. Post-grad players aka "gap year" players stay with us for 1 year with the goal of committing to college while they get bigger, stronger, faster with us.
