Practice Info & Schedule

At United Soccer Academies, our practices are meticulously designed to teach players the fundamental principles of soccer in an engaging and effective manner. We utilize a series of skill development exercises and small sided games with constraints. This approach ensures that players learn within the context of the game, enhancing their understanding and application of skills in real match scenarios. 

Through these activities, players develop crucial individual skills such as receiving, dribbling, passing, and shooting. By integrating these skills into game-like situations, we move away from outdated methods of isolated drills, which do not effectively translate to improved performance on the field. 

Every other session is a game based sessions session where players play for the full hour in a variety of different formats making sure they get to try and use the skills and knowledge they are learning.

Who Is The Academy For

Our Fall Junior Program is for boys 2016 – 2018 and Girls 2015 – 2018 

Parents Who Prioritize High-Quality Coaching
We cater to parents seeking a professional educational environment where their children receive top-tier coaching. Our emphasis is on fair treatment and providing equal opportunities for success and inclusion.

Investment In Coaching
Focus on Coaching and Experience: We prioritize the quality of coaching and the overall player experience over expensive kits and indoor turf training, which only increase costs and create an illusion of superiority. Our emphasis is on delivering exceptional coaching and a meaningful soccer experience for every player. All of our coaches are paid coaches who must complete our Academy training and are enrolled in ongoing coach training sessions

Players Seeking Advanced Instruction
United Soccer Academies is designed for players who are looking for a higher quality of coaching and instruction than what is typically found in House leagues or parent-run Travel teams. We are not designed for players that want to improve their game for House League once you join us you will surpass that level of play.

Soccer-Focused Families
Our academy is the perfect choice for families who love soccer and want to be part of a community that shares their passion. Here, players, families, and coaches come together to create a supportive and enthusiastic soccer culture. At United Soccer Academies, we believe in fostering a love for soccer while ensuring every player has the opportunity to grow and succeed in a structured, professional, and inclusive environment.

Our Coaches

United Soccer Academy is proud of its skilled coaching staff, all held to consistent high standards and fully equipped to deliver our curriculum to all players. Unlike other programs, we don’t outsource coach training but have developed our own coach training programs, ensuring our coaches are well-versed in our philosophy and methods. All of our coaches are paid coaches which ensures a higher level of quality and accountability. The coaching you will get at the Academy is on the whole a higher level than almost all local travel soccer programs in the area.

Our Philosophy & Approach

We’ve replaced the stress of tryouts with an open-door policy. We believe in giving every child the chance to improve and enjoy the game, not excluding them based on early performance. After all, development is a journey, not a race.

We understand that planning is crucial for families. Our training sessions run at consistent days and times throughout the year, and schedules are shared far in advance. This includes all sessions and league matches, making it easy to manage soccer commitments alongside other activities.

We welcome players of all abilities. Everyone will find their perfect spot in our program, where they are appropriately challenged and allowed to grow at their own pace. Plus, players can move groups throughout the year based on their progress and current needs.

Our curriculum focuses on teaching players the universal principles of soccer. We also provide technical skills training, which is integrated into game situations wherever possible. We believe that learning soccer should happen through playing soccer, not isolated drills.

The quality of our coaches is unmatched. All of our coaches complete the same ongoing training and deliver a principle-based curriculum with full support. We firmly believe in equipping our coaches with the tools they need to provide the best soccer education.

Our approach focuses on unity and equality. We don’t attach labels to groups or players; everyone is considered an essential part of our team. Our philosophy emphasizes player development over early talent identification.
