What is Development Academy?

U.S. Soccer started the Development Academy Program to improve long-term player and coach development. After studying player development models domestically and internationally, U.S. Soccer collaborated with elite soccer clubs across the nation to create a program to provide the proper environment by emphasizing quality training and limited meaningful competition.

U.S. Soccer wants to provide a player centered program that is focused on the development of the individual without bias, distractions, self-interests and financial gains that compromise the optimal everyday environment. We also believe this is needed so we continue to set the standard for world-class players.

  • We innovate the learning experience on game days by implementing tasks such as pregame focus worksheets and video analysis of the opposition
  • Every game is filmed and tape reviewed with the team as a whole as well as players and blocks of players
  • Post game recovery techniques are also be implemented
  • In addition to the head coach, there is an athletic trainer and goalkeeper coach at each game
  • The focus on game day is NOT to win
