The Competitive Academy has two programs: Junior Academy (U11-U14) and Senior Academy (U15-U19). All Competitive Academy teams compete in OYSA Premier or Division I Leagues, in addition to summer tournaments and either Presidents or State Cup.
Our Competitive Academy represents the highest standard of play and expectation for U11-U19 players. Tryouts are held annually in May to identify and select the top local players in our community. Teams train 2-3 times per week to constantly develop their technical, tactical, physical, and mental skills. Our goal is that our players develop to be well-rounded athletes, as well as community members and leaders.
Our staff represents a variety of both grassroots and high-level playing experience, having competed as players for local & elite youth programs, as well as collegiate, semi-pro, and professional teams throughout the United States and abroad. Many SSC coaches have earned USSF National Licenses, United Soccer Coaches Diplomas, and also coach for local high schools (NFHS Certificate) and elite state programs. This diverse combination of playing and coaching experience adds unique perspectives to the culture of our club.
