Tempo Sports Academy

Tempo Sports Academy (TSA) was established in 2016 by James "CJ" Davidson with a vision guided by divine timing. Recognizing that every individual moves to their own rhythm, CJ aimed to empower youth to embrace their unique pace, knowing it aligns perfectly with their journey. As a division of the Upstate Institute of Youth Programs, TSA is dedicated to transforming the lives of young individuals. Through our Homework Center in Seneca, South Carolina, we provide vital academic support. Additionally, our programs offer athletic development through both group and private training sessions, alongside fostering spiritual growth through mentorship opportunities.
