The Developmental Academy is at the very core of what makes our Club so special and effective. It's our foundation and the starting point of Glen Celtic America FC player development pathway. This is where it all happens. This is where youth soccer players learn technique, masterful control of the ball, a possession-based style of play and, most importantly, speed of thought. In short, the Developmental Academy is a learning center for players who want to be grow in the game the right way.
Because we believe these are the critical years of our children's long term development and growth, we offer a combined Fall, Winter and Spring program for our kids using a Street Soccer style inspired curriculum designed to develop each player's technical and tactical skill. We are certain that our best players will be the players that start with us at this young age and will continue to develop over the important years to follow.
The GCA FC Developmental Academy is open to all kids that want to become better soccer players yet understand that this is not a recreational program. It is an instructional program based on teaching the fundamentals of the game, we understand that all players learn at a different pace, so we have exceptional patience with our young players.
