IT'S TIME TO PUT SAN FRANCISCO ON THE SOCCER MAP

The San Francisco Elite Academy is proud to offer a
U-12 U.S. Soccer Development Academy in the heart of San Francisco.

Boys born in 2006 & 2007 are encouraged to tryout for our 2017-2018 U12 Boys U.S. Soccer Development Academy team in January.

The tryout will be held from 8am-9.30am at USF, Negoesco Stadium, on Saturday January 7, 2017

DID YOU KNOW...

• U.S. Soccer Development Academy is the highest level of youth soccer play in the United States?
• There are only 152 U.S. Soccer Development Academies in the U.S. while there are nearly 9,000 youth soccer clubs?
• The vast majority (an estimated 80-90%) of Development Academy players go on to college and/or professional play?
• Every aspect of U.S. Soccer Development Academy play is guided by U.S. Soccer to leverage a proven player development model and promote a generation of elite players?

AND THAT YOU CAN TRYOUT AND POSSIBLY PLAY FOR A U.S. SOCCER DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY TEAM WITHOUT LEAVING SAN FRANCISCO?
