What is VP Academy:
​
​
VP, Vestri Progressio, mean's "your development", a phrase that we at VP Academy utilize when developing any of our programs. VP Academy is a group of professionals that have decided to come together and provide our future athletes with the necessary tools to compete at the highest level. VP Academy is not just about physical development, instead, we focus on developing the complete athlete and human.
Development starts with you
