Naperville Soccer Academy - Tradition of excellence
Youth Academy - Ages 10-14
Youth Academy Program (U11-U14)
NSA's Youth Academy program introduces players to more complex topics while continuing to reinforce technical aptitude and excellence. Players will learn new ways to manage space in both attack and defense, learn more complex combination play and develop a deeper understanding of team concepts.
Players at this stage should show increased commitment and a desire to learn and grow as a player. All training sessions will be run by licensed, professional coaches and will challenge players to play outside their comfort zone while making sessions fun at the same time.
Coaches will also encourage players to take responsibility for their development and performance. As a club we will continue to promote excellence both on and off the field.
Teams will play in both tournament and league play. Academy teams also train three times per week to accelerate development.
