Developing the Next Generation
SC Academy program is driven by the game and its players, coaches and referees. This game-centric approach allows for long-term development to occur through a deep understanding of what makes players successful around the country and around the world. As the sport of soccer grows in the United States, young players in our country need the proper environment to compete against the world’s elite. The SC Academy program provides the optimum developmental environment for the state’s top youth soccer players, coaches and referees by emphasizing development through quality training and limited, meaningful competition.
Meaningful Training
Academy teams spend a greater amount of time focused on training to improve as individuals and as a team. To round-out the complete training environment, they also receive a training curriculum for soccer-specific athletic training and Nutrition and Hydration. Each athlete then gains a greater understanding of how they compare physically against their peers and what they need to do to achieve their optimal performance levels.
Competitive Environment
The Academy program match schedules feature teams from the top youth clubs from around the country. Each Academy team plays approximately 12 regular season games to ensure all games are meaningful.

The Academy emphasizes player development and creating maximum opportunities for the best players in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin through participation in and performance at Regional and National Events. Our emphasis upon maintaining the best coaches and facilities will ensure our players have the best resources and environment as they strive to reach their potential.
