Senior Academy Overview & Information
- Tactical Training/Development
- Team Success
- College Prep/Showcasing
The Senior Academy represents the latter stage of our youth player development model. All teams will compete at appropriate levels of competition based on age and ability ranging from national to local. This program level focuses on continued development of player and team tactical knowledge, conditioning/athletic development, team building/success, player character development and appropriate college soccer prep/showcasing. Development goals are reached through a structured curriculum and regular player evaluation and feedback.
The Senior Academy has produced numerous nationally top-ranked teams, USYSA and NPL National Champions, USYSA Region 1 Champions and State Cup Winners.
In general, teams train three times per week, play one match on the weekend, and participate in three to five tournaments annually. Players are expected to attend scheduled training sessions. All players are encouraged to attend more than the required and may make-up a missed training session with the permission of the Director of Coaching. Players are expected to attend all scheduled team matches and tournaments.
