Are you an advanced competitive soccer player who is looking for an elite training program over the summer?
Do you want to train in a high-level environment with other advanced players?
If your answer is yes, TST’s Advanced Player Academy is for you.
The TST Advanced Player Academy (APA) is a 6-week program for competitive players aged 12-14 years. Training will have a strong emphasis on developing technical ability, tactical understanding, and overall game IQ.
There are two tiers to the APA and players will be placed accordingly. Group 1 will train at a separate time to Group 2. Both groups will train for 75 minutes at a high intensity.
Entry into the academy is by application only; however, you may receive an invitation directly from Coach Rick which will bypass the application process. This can happen in circumstances where a player is already playing at a high level (e.g. ECNL, high level travel soccer).
We understand that high level players are often multi-sport athletes and aren’t playing year-round soccer. If you are one of those athletes and aren’t playing for a soccer organization, we strongly encourage you to apply if soccer is in your future!
