Elkins, N.H. – US Performance Academy (USPA) is thrilled to announce that it has become the Official Online Academic Partner of the Watertown Shamrocks, a Tier II Junior ice hockey team located in Watertown, South Dakota. The team held their first game this September in the NAHL Central Division.

“USPA’s flexible, high-level education aligns perfectly with the needs of our athletes who want to advance their academic prospects while enhancing their game,” said Shamrocks Head Coach, Casey Kirley. “Our athletes are constantly on the move and with USPA, school goes where they go, taking the worry out of missed school days.” 

“It’s also  an incredible fit for USPA,” said Pete Smith, Founder and President of USPA. “The Shamrocks attract some of the best hockey players in the country, and we are thrilled to be their academic resource. We specifically see these athletes taking advantage of our Postgraduate Program to stay sharp and increase their collegiate marketability.”

USPA’s unique online learning model empowers motivated student-athletes to train, travel, and compete at the highest levels in their chosen sport.
