Academy Staff

Our diverse staff is composed of qualified coaches chosen from around the country and abroad, many of whom are college coaches. Each possess the teaching ability and sincere passion for conveying their love for the game. College players are hired as counselors and are used to demonstrate proper soccer technique and supervise the campers off the field. The character of the staff members is equally considered to ensure they also serve as excellent role models off the field. Each staff member clears a background check before being hired.
