Soccer

Providing Elite Training for Youth Soccer Players

We offer a club-neutral training environment that allows the athletes to increase their time on the ball, all while being monitored to ensure they are improving optimally. Led by a team of highly credentialed and experienced coaches, our soccer development program aims to maximize the development of each individual player.

Complete Soccer Development

Individualized player development is an often-overlooked component in today’s competitive youth soccer environment.

Technical Training

These will be sessions led by our soccer coaches predominantly working on ball skills, gameplay, and techniques to be used during a game. We think of this as the traditional soccer training element of our day.

Tactical Development

The coaches instruct the athletes in position-specific tactical knowledge and game situations. We cover formations, proactive and reactive changes through on-field instruction and film analysis.

Performance Training

Athletic ability is an important part of the modern game. Performance coaches design a sport-specific program to develop attributes like speed, agility, coordination, strength, mobility, and conditioning.

Efficient

Traditional School

In a traditional school schedule, students typically attend classes from 7:30am to 3:30pm, followed by homework, snacks, preparation for extracurricular activities, and commuting until around 5:30pm. Afterward, training sessions often run from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, with dinner, shower, and bedtime following in the evening.

SAI Academy

In contrast, the SAI Academy on-site schedule involves arriving at the training facility each morning for a day structured around training and academics. This includes performance and technical soccer training sessions, followed by time for lunch and showering. The afternoon is dedicated to academic study blocks until 4:00pm, with dismissal at 4:15pm – having completed the bulk of training and schooling with time in the evening free to spend how the student-athlete wishes.

Influence

Our students are not only conditioned to be the best on the soccer field, but also to demonstrate strong character and self-development off the field.
