Student Athletics Foundation

The Foundation

The Student Athletics Foundation (SAF) exists to develop young women through sport, education, and leadership. We believe athletics is a powerful platform, not just for competition, but for building confidence, discipline, and lifelong opportunity.


Through Royals Elite Academy and our MLB Nike RBI affiliation, we provide structured athletic development, academic support, and exposure opportunities for girls who aspire to compete at the highest levels while preparing for life beyond the field.


We are not simply a travel program. We are an academy committed to long-term growth.

Our Mission

To empower young women through sport by developing discipline, mental fortitude, leadership, and academic readiness, equipping them to succeed at the collegiate level and beyond.

Our Vision

We envision a future where young women in sports have equal access to elite training, mentorship, and exposure, regardless of background or financial circumstances.


Through intentional programming and strategic partnerships, including MLB Nike RBI, we are building a pathway that prepares female athletes not only for recruitment, but for leadership in life.


Our long-term vision is to operate a fully integrated academy model that blends athletic training, academic support, mentorship, and leadership development under one structured system.

Our Values

At the heart of Royals Elite Academy and SAF are four non-negotiables:


Attitude – We choose growth, accountability, and resilience.
Effort – We work with intention and consistency.
Execution – We prepare with purpose and perform with focus.
Discipline – We honor the process, even when it’s difficult.


These values guide how we train, compete, communicate, and represent our program.

Our Philosophy - The Diamond Process

We believe development is layered like a diamond. The Diamond Process represents our commitment to: 

  • Technical skill development
  • Mental toughness
  • Academic accountability
  • Leadership training
  • Exposure and recruitment readiness

Our academy structure reinforces that growth is earned through structure, consistency, and support--just as a diamond is formed.
