Not exactly close. Some Baltimore teams have some one year holdbacks on their roster, can range anywhere from 2 to about 6, on a total roster of about 22-25 players. Hill Academy players are, for the most part 2 years older than Baltimore teams. Most all of their roster have players that are a one year holdback and now are doing a PG year at Hill. So it is not even close to being equal. I would bet some of their players are 20 years old or close to it.


My son is doing a PG year at The Hill Academy this year. Guess what, he turned 18 this past fall. He said there is one player on the team that is 19. Sorry this information doesn't fit into your paradigm. The team is good due to dedicated professional coaching and very driven players, not because the players are older.

Here is a great article:

I'm sure the rigorous 4 hours of class a day are really helping his academics. This article shows all that is wrong with places like Hill Academy. Single sport focus year round "A stick in their hands every day" and Sports practice until noon then class from noon to 4:00? Just call it a sports academy, not a school


It is a sports school for sure but does have some academics. Set up as the owners say " in a college mode" .. Just what I want my 9th grade 14 year old to be. A college Freshman.
