Team Success unveils gym renovation at Bradenton campus

BRADENTON, Fla. - March 16, 2026 - PRLog -- Team Success has completed a gym renovation at its Bradenton campus that provides climate-controlled indoor spaces for P.E. classes, school assemblies and extracurricular activities for elementary students.

The $250,000 renovation included priming and painting walls in the school colors, adding the school logo to walls and restoring the bleachers. The gym floor, which previously sustained water damage, also has been restored, coated with a polyurethane finish and lined with markings for basketball, volleyball and pickleball. Banners now line the gym's walls, not to commemorate athletic championships, rather to celebrate the school's A and B grades issued annually by the Florida Department of Education.

Team Success revealed the gym renovation to students on Feb. 27, followed by a showcase event to parents on March 3.

Originally built in 1953 as Bradenton Middle School, the building operated as a traditional public school until its closure in 1994. It reopened in 1997 as the Police Athletic League Academy Charter School, then rebranded in 2010 as Team Success. Since 2015, Team Success has earned all A or B grades from the Florida Department of Education.

Team Success operates a K-5 school at the Bradenton campus along with a 6-12 program at its Sarasota campus.

The gym renovation at the Bradenton campus is Team Success' latest capital improvement project designed to improve safety, security and aesthetics. It recently spent $1 million on roof repairs to protect classrooms, offices and gathering spaces. Team Success has a 35-year lease on its Bradenton campus that runs through 2056.

Along with revealing the renovated gym, Team Success held a parent workshop on March 3 to announce fall registration opportunities and the creation of a parent organization. Administration also noted factors that distinguish Team Success from other schools, such as its Saturday program, kindergarten academy, peer tutoring program and collaborations with area businesses. To thank parents for partnering with teachers and being present in their child's education, the school held a lively raffle in which parents claimed gift cards for retailers to purchase school supplies and restaurants to enjoy a family meal, as well as laptops and tablets for students to complete their school assignments. Additional prizes included flat-screen TVs, kitchen appliances and other electronics.

Team Success is currently enrolling students at all grade levels for the 2026-27 school year.
