NATIONAL PLATFORM SOCCER IS HERE
We are delighted to announce that effective immediately SA United has joined the prestigious Elite Academy League (EA).
This is applicable to all top level U13-U19 Boys teams and provides a top-level national platform to showcase our fantastic boys’ teams.
In addition to a comprehensive and high-level league schedule competing with top clubs across Texas and Oklahoma, the EA also provides National Showcase Events. These events will draw in teams such as LAFC, Surf, Chicago Fire, etc. from all over the country to participate which are attended by hundreds of collegiate coaches.
These various showcase events, that take place in the Fall and the Spring, will provide us with more exposure to a higher level and provide our players with an additional chance to get in front of college coaches.
As a club we have been working tirelessly to provide these opportunities for our players and we are excited for them to now have this platform to showcase their ability and play in a quality environment against very good clubs, which is only going to aid in their overall development.
Over the last 19 years we have formed a wonderful base of fully qualified full-time staff, backed up by our excellent part-time developmental coaches. Our club excels in producing not only skillful, intelligent, technical soccer players, but also fantastic human beings, ready for life's challenges as they complete our programs and venture out into the world.
The EA experience
In addition, many of our competitors are part of the MLS Next Development Program (Major League Soccer) which is the highest player development program in North America.
