PRE GIRLS ACADEMY & PRE MLS ACADEMY

Introducing Our Soccer Program: Pre Girls Academy and Pre MLS Academy


Our Pre Girls Academy and Pre MLS Academy programs are made for high-level players in the U11-U12 age groups, serving as a stepping stone to our National and Regional programs. With a selective approach, approximately 24 players per age group/region are chosen for each supported program. Selection criteria are based on the geographical region within the Charlotte area.


Players in the Pre Girls Academy and Pre MLS Academy teams participate in the Carolina Development League (CDL) and may also have affiliation with the NCYSA. Current players earn their spots through exceptional performance in training, matches, and ID sessions. Prospective players keen on joining this program must attend the ID sessions for selection. The season runs in two segments (August-November and January-May), with teams training three nights per week and engaging in matches and tournaments that necessitate travel within a three-hour radius of Charlotte.


The Pre-Girls Academy session is being held in conjunction with the U11 and U12 Girls State sessions.


Players must complete the Player Placement Process and attend ID sessions to be selected for these programs.
