SA UNITED HAS BEEN DEVELOPING THE COMPLETE SOCCER PLAYER FOR OVER 15 YEARS
We are extremely proud to have so many players develop their soccer education within our club and then transitioning to the professional or pro academy level. Working their way through our programs and following our club curriculum is paramount to their education. Developing the very core fundamentals before moving on to more technical movements, and advancing to more tactical and dynamic possession based approach to the beautiful game.
It is always sad to see our athletes move on from our club, but it makes us very proud when they move to the highest level they can attain to. They represent our club, our philosophies, they mirror our developmental coaches appreciation and understanding of the game and above all else, when a player leaves SA United, they leave as wonderful human beings, prepared and ready to take on the world.
FORMER SA UNITED PLAYERS.
