The Development Academy is a partnershp between US Soccer and the top youth clubs around the country to provide the best youth players in the US with an everyday environment designed to produce the next generation of male National Team players. The Academy's programming philosophy is based on increased training, less total games, and more competitive games.
The Academy also connects National Team coaches directly with the Academy clubs to develop and identify players and coaches for future Youth National Teams. Each Academy team is evaluated by a member of the US Soccer Men's Scouting Network at least 10 times each year and each Academy club receives two formal evaluations in over 100 categories each year from US Soccer Technical Staff.
