Boys Academy

The Boys Academy Program focuses on positively impacting everyday club environments to assist in maximizing youth player development within the club. The Boys Academy values individual development of elite players over winning trophies and titles. The Academy sets the standard for elite environments for youth soccer clubs nationwide and is a part of U.S. Soccer's global leadership position in youth soccer that will impact thousands of players.

The Boys Academy is a club-wide program with two teams per age group (U13-U14), a North and a South team. This is our top-tier junior boys' program with a high level of player commitment required. The Boys Academy players will compete in the Elite Clubs National League. 

Similar to our Pro Academy age groups, players train 4 nights a week but at their respective North and South locations. 1 day of the week is dedicated to sports performance through EXOS training while the other 3 sessions are dedicated to individual and team training.
