PROGRAM:
Our Winter Indoor Academy curriculum is specifically designed to meet the needs of a potential or serious soccer player. This comprehensive program will emphasize individual skills, small-sided games, passing and shooting, and creativity on a futsal hard court (100 x 50 ft). Students will be challenged each week through top-class instruction from D.C. United's Academy Staff in training sessions and physical testing while being evaluated for the Academy youth teams. Our goal is to provide a challenging environment that will replicate the training habits of D.C. United players and youth Academy team players. Our elite age groups on Sundays are being offered specifically for players who feel they may have the potential to play on our Academy youth teams.

Due to the size of the facility, space is limited to the first 25 players in each group so register now!

GOAL:
Our goal is to provide a challenging environment that demands good training habits. Ultimately, this will encourage a passion for the game by showing players how to accelerate their own progress through self-teaching. Everyone will leave our training sessions with renewed energy, improved self-confidence and motivation. Our progressive winter training program is a fun and rewarding experience that will prepare each player for the Spring 2009 season.

COST:

Saturdays $160 U6 - U12 boys & girls
Sundays $240 U14 & U16 elite boys only

*Discounts for siblings and multiple sessions are available. D.C. United Academy staff will credit all discounts prior to the first day of training.
