April 30, 2009
CHICAGO (April 30, 2009) – Weston Soccer Club will join five other teams as new members of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy for the 2009-10 season.
The Weston, Fla., club joins California Development Academy (Sacramento, Calif.), Houston Dynamo (Houston, Texas), Kansas City Wizards Juniors (Kansas City, Mo.), McLean Youth Soccer (McLean, Va.) and NJSA 04 (Holmdel, N.J.) as new Academy members, bringing the total to 79 clubs that will participate in the national team training program next year.
WESTON FURY SOCCER CLUB JOINS U.S. SOCCER DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY PROGRAM FOR 2009-10 SEASON
April 10, 2009
- Five clubs admitted after most competitive application process in short history of Academy program
- Weston Fury Soccer Club joins 79 other elite clubs in national team training program
CHICAGO (April 7, 2009) – Weston Fury Soccer Club will join the U.S. Soccer Development Academy for the 2009-10 season after the most competitive application process in the young history of the Academy program. With the addition of the five new clubs, eighty total clubs are slated to begin the 2009-10 Academy season.
Joining Weston Fury Soccer Club in the Academy in 2009-10 will be California Development Academy (Sacramento, Calif.), Houston Dynamo (Houston, Texas), Kansas City Wizards Juniors (Kansas City, Mo.), and McLean Youth Soccer (McLean, Va.)
The five Academy clubs were selected from a pool of 250 applicants. Clubs were selected based on their potential to generate future national team players as determined by geographic location, coaching staff, administrative capabilities and national team coach site visits and evaluations. U.S. Soccer has limited the number of clubs admitted into the Academy each year to maintain the highest quality of competition in the program.
Weston Fury Soccer Club Director of Coaching, Carlos Parra, who himself was a member of the U.S. Youth National team and the first Project 40 player to be signed by Major League Soccer, feels the U.S. Soccer Best Practices align perfectly with his Club’s philosophy which focuses on total player development through age appropriate quality training and competition. “We always strive to provide the best opportunities and training for our members and look forward to the increased exposure and level of competition that being a part of the Academy will provide our players.”
Weston Fury Soccer Club’s admittance into the U.S. Soccer Development Academy at the conclusion of its tenth year is quite an accomplishment for such a young club and right in line with the organization’s goals. The club’s vision has been to be a nationally recognized premier soccer program, dedicated to providing its members with experiences to maximize their potential. Weston’s focus will continue to be on player and team development in an atmosphere of high standards, utilizing the first class facilities provided by the City of Weston. Weston Fury Soccer Club is committed to dedicating its time and resources to the long term technical, tactical, physical and psychological development of all its players. Being a part of the Academy will provide pinnacle programming challenging players and staff to continue to develop and excel.
The Academy program was created to enhance the player development environment for elite youth players in the United States, according to U.S. Soccer Best Practices, with specific focus on increasing the number of training sessions, decreasing the total number of games while increasing the number of quality games and maintaining the highest level of coaching, refereeing and competition available in an everyday environment.
Aside from providing clubs with a soccer-centric environment, the Academy program also provides a platform to systematically improve the player identification and development processes. Over half of the Academy matches are attended by a national team scout, resulting in a comprehensive system to evaluate player, coach and referee talent. Academy coaches and athletes also receive video analysis from ProZone, a soccer-specific athletic training curriculum from SPARQ and Nutrition and Hydration recommendations from Gatorade’s Sports Science Institute. The physical capabilities of Academy athletes are measured using SPARQ’s soccer-specific tests and Gatorade’s fluid loss tests.
In its second year, the Academy program has already dramatically impacted the player development process in the United States. In 2008, more than 100 players from Academy clubs were included in U.S. Youth National Teams and almost 800 graduates from the inaugural Academy class participated in college soccer the following fall. Virtually all college programs use the Academy program as a scouting vehicle and the program has received increased attention from professional scouts representing domestic and international clubs.
