| US Soccer Development Academy
|
The Development Academy is a partnership between U.S. Soccer and the
top youth clubs around the country to provide the best youth players in
the U.S. with an every day environment designed to produce the next
generation of National Team players. The Academy’s programming
philosophy of increased training, less total games and more competitive
games is based on U.S. Soccer’s Best Practices utilized by the U-17 U.S.
National Team Residency program.
The Academy also connects National Team coaches directly with the
Academy clubs to develop and identify players and coaches for future
Youth National Teams. Each Academy team is evaluated by a National Team
coach at least ten times each year and each Academy club receives two
formal evaluations in over 100 categories each year from National Team
staff.
The Development Academy is also focused on identifying and
developing the next generation of elite referees. U.S. Soccer assigns
up-and-coming officials to participate in Academy games at the local
level and at national events.
