Our Elite Academy team is set for the New York State West Youth Soccer Association (NYSWYSA) Thruway league and State Cup for 2014.
Elite have been pioneers in Academy development for the past 5 years in the Niagara region. In our first year in the SAAC Academy we won the U16 Division (Under Shooting Stars). In 2013, our current team won the U13 Elite Challenge Cup in Erie PA, after only being together 9 months.
It has been a challenge changing the mindset of Niagara region players to invest in year-round training and to commit full-time, but we are finally making a break through. Our move into the US league structure takes our program to another level.
FIFA World Rankings have USA ranked 14th in the World compared to Canada at 112th. Canada has not been in a World Cup since 1986. That is 26 years. Canada’s league structure gets worse every year.
To develop into a top player you have to train and play at a high level.
Elite Soccer Development now offers top level training and competition year round which will maximize a player’s individual development. Also, exposure to USA soccer on a regular basis keeps players faces in front of USA college coaches. A full scholarship is worth $50,000 per year and over 4 years $200,000. I think it is worth the sacrifice to gain a full 4 year ride.
Elite is the only full time soccer academy in the Niagara region with paid professional coaches and own full time training centre. If you are male or female interested in being part of a full time academy program contact Clayton Rosario 289-214-1414 or claytonelitesoccerdevelopment@gmail.com
Stay tuned for the unveiling of our new USA Academy kits for 2014 and the signing of our new players from USA and Canada.
