The Stafford Area Soccer Association (SASA) is proud to announce starting Fall of 2011 the inaugural season of the Revolution Academy.
The Revolution Academy will replace the Classic Division expanding upon the mission focus of player and coaching development.
The Revolution Academy is an advanced recreational program that seeks to bridge the gap between SASA’s Recreational division and Revolution Travel providing players an environment in which they can develop and hone their skills. The Revolution Academy strives to teach a greater understanding of the game of soccer, improve technical development, and to instill self-confidence in players who demonstrate the potential for development to Revolution Travel. This is accomplished through advanced skills training by certified and licensed coaches, dedicated professional training sessions, competitive in house game play, and end of year tournament play with other clubs.
The Revolution Academy will consist of the following age programs:
U-7 Academy style development program
U-8 Academy style development program
U-10 Development Team Program
U-12 Development Team Program
U-14 Development Team Program
The U-7 and U-8 programs are limited in number and available by sign up process. There will be no try-outs for the U-7 and U-8 programs. Additionally, the current U-8 Academy program will still be offered as a separate enhanced development program and will become the SASA U-8 Skills Clinics. Players may sign up for the SASA U-8 Skills Clinics separately.
The U-10, U-12, & U-14 Development Team Programs will select players through a try-out process.
U-10, U-12, and U-14 Development Team Program players will attend multiple enhanced Professional Training Sessions lead by experienced licensed coaches that will focus on technical skills demonstration integrated with small sided game play while offering coaching development as well.
While still a recreational program, the Revolution Academy is focused on providing a venue for players to develop their skills and become accomplished players able to move on to Revolution Travel. The Revolution Academy requires a larger commitment than recreational soccer on the part of the interested families, but the rewards are numerous in player development.
If your child is seeking to develop to the next level and grow in a life long love of soccer, Revolution Academy is for you.
