OUR STORY
About Crossbar Academy
Established in 2019, Crossbar Academy is a distinguished private Christian soccer school in Tomball, Texas. Our academy caters to 2nd through 12th-grade students and offers a distinctive curriculum integrating a blended education with elite soccer training.
We identified a gap in our local educational landscape by drawing from international best practices in sports and education, including successful models seen in sports such as gymnastics. Motivated by these insights, we founded Crossbar Academy, steadfastly committed to prioritizing faith, restoring family unity, and cultivating academic and soccer excellence among our students.
Mission
Crossbar Academy’s mission is to create a foundation for each child that is built on God and focuses on education, soccer, and the importance of family.
Vision
At Crossbar Academy, we aim to empower families to foster deep, meaningful relationships and mentorship grounded in Christian principles, enriching their time together before young adults embark on their journeys. For our student-athletes, we strive to instill unparalleled ball mastery and strategic insight, equipping them to make informed decisions about their paths in soccer and education.
As an institution, we aspire to illuminate the lives of every individual we encounter—players, students, and families alike—by nurturing character development rooted in faith and guiding them toward success across all facets of life.
THE CORE VALUES OF CROSSBAR ACADEMY
FAITH

At Crossbar Academy, we integrate faith into every aspect of our community. Our daily Bible classes provide students with a foundational understanding of scripture and Christian principles, complementing their academic curriculum.
Every Wednesday, our chapel sessions offer a dedicated time for students to unite in worship, reflection, and spiritual growth. In addition to the chapel, students learn weekly Bible scripture, delving into the teachings and values that shape their faith journey. Our discipleship program for 8th grade and above further enriches their spiritual development through mentorship and personal growth opportunities.
Beyond our campus, Crossbar Academy is committed to fostering a spirit of service through various outreach programs, encouraging students to apply their faith meaningfully. Through these initiatives, we aim to nurture a strong foundation of faith and character that equips our students to impact their communities positively and beyond.
FAMILY

At Crossbar Academy, we are more than just a school; we are a family. We believe in the power of partnership with our students’ families, fostering a strong bond built on trust, respect, and shared values. Together, we pray, support, and encourage one another through every step of our students’ educational and personal journeys.
The Crossbar Family extends beyond the classroom, creating a supportive community where every member is valued and supported. Through this collaborative spirit, we aim to nurture a sense of belonging and unity that enriches the overall experience for our students and their families.
