Academy Open Sessions (Sept. 23 – 28)

As the PCSA Soccer Academy kicks off its 5th year, all returning and prospective new players born between 2008 (U10) and 2003 (U15) are invited to attend a series of open sessions starting September 23 at Eastgate. There is no cost or obligation to participate in these open sessions, so if you are interested in learning more about the high level training offered by the Academy program this will be an excellent opportunity.

The Academy Coaches will also be present at Eastgate 1 on Saturday, Sep. 23 between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. during Orientation for the U10-U12 age groups to speak with interested parents and players.

These open sessions will be an opportunity to meet, interact, and play with current players. Our Academy technical team, led by the Head Coach Gergin Naoumov, will be there to lead the training sessions and answer any questions you may have. This will also give new players a chance to sample the Academy experience before fully committing to the program.
Please go to the Academy Training Schedule page to see the full schedule.

While there is no cost, you are asked to pre-register in PowerUp so that we have an idea of how many players will be in attendance. Select “2017/18 Academy Programs » 2018 Academy Orientation” on the PowerUp registration page.
