No, each athlete is required to undergo evaluation by our head coach at the prospective location. Currently, we prioritize intermediate to advanced players. If an athlete is not accepted, the family receives a formal evaluation outlining areas for improvement in preparation for a future evaluation, if desired.

We aim for a maximum training ratio of 12 athletes per coach. This allows us to focus on optimizing development and addressing the individual needs of each athlete effectively.

Yes, we offer a Soccer Only program at all of our open enrollment locations.

Athletes are typically grouped based on both age and ability level to ensure appropriate training and development for each individual.

Athletes undergo regular evaluations tailored to their individual needs and goals. Our coaching staff creates Individual Development Plans for each athlete during every 9-week cycle. Parents are typically informed of these evaluations and corresponding plans during scheduled meetings or through periodic updates provided by the coaching staff.

We are accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, ensuring it meets rigorous standards for integrity and performance. Additionally, the curriculum has full accreditation from Cognia™, the world’s largest network of education professionals.

Our middle school curriculum is based on Edmentum, a Cognia-accredited education platform that offers flexible access for students. It includes seven courses per quarter: Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, Physical Education, Advisory, and an elective.

Although courses are online and self-paced, a licensed teacher is available daily to support students through email, phone calls, or Google Meet sessions. Students also have the option to visit a physical classroom for additional help or social activities.

Yes, students have the opportunity to earn a U.S. High School diploma via the Edmentum platform. The program includes a broad range of courses, including AP®, World Languages, and electives tailored for college and career preparation.

We offer NCAA-approved programs that provide a flexible college preparatory curriculum to accommodate the unique schedules of student-athletes, helping them balance their academic and athletic commitments.

Starting from freshman year, our students are prepared for college with SAT/ACT assessment tests, comprehensive Exam Prep courses, and guidance in selecting competitive courses to enhance their college and career prospects.

The student-athletes decide!  They do their own research and vote as a group to determine the place in their community that would best benefit from those items that month.

We do! Once a month we get all of our cohorts together virtually to meet with a current or former professional athlete or coach, an employee from one of our valued sponsors, or one of our own staff members to discuss their pathways to success.

We host monthly workshops that introduce social media etiquette, public speaking, debate, financial freedom, contracts, etc. to help our student-athletes make the best choices for themselves after they graduate.
