The Youth Academy Program at United Soccer Alliance is intended to act as a bridge/pathway to our premier program. The emphasis in this program is on creating technically proficient players that have an understanding of small sided tactics by the time they move forward into the premier program. The use of various small sided games to teach various aspects of the game are heavily used. Ball mastery, 1v1 attacking & defending, running with the ball, back to pressure and numbers up and numbers down activities are just a few examples of the topics we cover in our curriculum. Players progress at different rates and as such our staff ensures to train everybody in a manner that is best for the individual’s needs. United Soccer Alliance embraces a positive environment that nurtures the development of young soccer players both on and off the field. Youth Academy Staff are licensed and experienced coaches that specialize in working with Academy aged soccer players. The Youth Academy program is a yearlong program that offers a higher level of training than that of our Recreational program.
