Baton Rouge is stepping into the spotlight as a leader in sports performance and medical care with the opening of the Elite Training Academy Sports Performance and Sports Medicine Complex on Burbank Drive. This cutting-edge facility, recently featured in The Advocate, is already being recognized as a destination center for sports medicine care for athletes not just in Baton Rouge but across the state and region.
Central to this development is the Ochsner-Andrews Sports Medicine Institute, home to the ACL Center of Excellence. The Ochsner-Andrews Sports Medicine Institute at the Elite Training Complex offers elite-level ACL care, from injury prevention to ACL surgery and rehab, making it one of the premier facilities for athletes in Louisiana and the Gulf South region recovering from ACL injuries.

The partnership between the Elite Training Academy and Ochsner creates a one-stop destination for athletes seeking both performance training and world-class medical care. This innovative model mirrors the care athletes receive at the professional level, ensuring collaboration between surgeons, physical therapists, and performance specialists—all under one roof.
The ACL Center of Excellence is a key feature of the sports medicine institute, equipped with advanced technology such as 3D motion analysis, antigravity treadmills, and cryotherapy chambers. These tools, combined with personalized treatment plans, help athletes recover faster and return to the field stronger than ever.

While the Elite Training Academy Sports Performance Complex is a game-changer for Baton Rouge, its impact extends far beyond the city limits. Athletes from across Louisiana and the Gulf South now have access to a facility designed to meet their every need, from injury prevention to recovery and peak performance.
Highlights of the facility include:
