For the kid alone on the field, saying out loud what nobody else believes yet. ZALA Academy. ZALA Camp. The standards published — so no more bad days at combines. No more unfair tryouts.
150 athletes. Matthews Field, Thomaston GA. The first ZALA Academy Football cohort. Six tests. Real scores. Live cards. The standards meet the kids — opened, verified, revisable, year over year.
The platform doesn't make anyone better. The work does. ZALA gives the kid a real read on where they are, a clear standard to measure against, and a routine built by the same kind of practitioners who work with pros. The work still has to happen.
Six tests. Same six, every time. Forty, vertical, broad, 5-10-5, throw velo, bench reps. The kid runs them once a year — and the delta becomes the report card. The same standards the pros are measured against, opened to the kids honestly.
Yes. Every ZALA Superuser is vetted by Adham personally. Credentials checked. Direct conversation. No anonymous "experts" on the platform. The names are private; the bar is published.
A morning reading — ten questions, under a minute. A daily routine matched to where they are. The combine card with their scores plotted against their age group. Direct. Not a clinic. Not a corporate platform.
The same architecture, from age 8 to professional. Different scale. Same spine.
First contact. The Baseline. The first combine card. Where are you, honestly.
A weekend or week at a partner camp. ZALA-vetted coaches on the field. The work earns the next door.
Daily, weekly, seasonal. The plan that compounds. Held in the iOS app, web, or both.
Pro · Lifestyle · or whatever the kid earns next. The cards travel with them. The standards travel with them.
LTAD-aware. Position-aware. Growth-plate-aware. Each sport cell shows what the Stack covers for youth athletes — strength stages by age bracket, growth-plate routines, sport-specific load management, and the gaps named honestly. Reviewed by a credentialed clinician before any entry runs with a kid.
