About the U.S. Soccer Development Program

10-Month Season
Previously, U.S. Soccer asked that all Development Academy clubs make the move to a 10-month season to ensure their players are building skills and fitness while establishing continuity in their training.  This policy will continue for 2018-19 and beyond.  Essentially, all clubs will start their pre-season in September and finish with a Playoff/Showcase event in June, hence the 10-month season.  To that end, we want to give each of you enough information concerning this change to make an honest and forthright decision concerning your son’s soccer future as the high school soccer season will no longer be an option should you make the Academy roster.  Please, if you have any questions concerning the 10-Month Season do not hesitate to call us prior to the tryout.
