About the U.S. Soccer Development Program

10-Month Season
Previously, U.S. Soccer asked that all Development Academy clubs make the move to a 10-month season to ensure their players are building skills and fitness while establishing continuity in their training.  This policy will continue for 2016-17 and beyond.  Essentially, all clubs will start their pre-season in September and finish with a Playoff/Showcase event in June, hence the 10-month season.  To that end, we want to give each of you enough information concerning this change to make an honest and forthright decision concerning your son’s soccer future as the high school soccer season will no longer be an option should you make the Academy roster.  I have attached a document from US Soccer (Embracing the Challenge) which discusses the move along with a link to a video.  Please, if you have any questions concerning the 10-Month Season do not hesitate to call us prior to the tryout.

Addition of the U12 and U13 age groups -
Beginning with the 2016-17 the USSDA season, 56 youth clubs from across the country will join 78 existing Academy member clubs at the U-12 level to create a total of 134 clubs that will develop players in key markets throughout the United States. The expansion of the Development Academy at the U-12 level is intended to reduce travel distances between clubs, while also allowing clubs to cast a wider net for committed players in existing and new markets that have the potential to develop into elite soccer players. The Under-12 age group is the youngest age group at which clubs will participate in Development Academy markets. "Expanding to the U-12 age group and the addition of 56 new member clubs will improve the overall environment at an earlier development stage and help clubs create a more positive step-by-step learning pathway for players," said US Soccer Director of Scouting Tony Lepore.  Splitting the U13-14 group into separate teams will also help the development and identification of those players.


Mid-America Division / Central Conference (U13 - U18)
ISC Academy plays 22 games (11 home and 11 away) in the Mid-America Division:

Chicago Area:    Sockers FC, Chicago Fire, Chicago Magic
Michigan Area:  Wolves, Vardar
St Louis Area:  Scott Gallagher Metro, Scott Gallagher Missouri
Minneapolis Area:  Minnesota Thunder, Shattuck-St.Marys Soccer Academy
Ohio/Indiana Area:  Columbus Crew, Indiana Fire, Internationals

U12 Mid-America Division (# of games TBD)

Indiana:  Indiana Fire, Fort Wayne United, Indiana Elite
Michigan: Wolves, Vardar
Ohio:  Columbus Crew, Internationals


Competition will never get any better than this !


Showcases -
College coaches regularly visit regular season Academy games and there are US Soccer scouts evaluating clubs, players, and referees throughout the season.  There are 2 main showcase events for the U16 and U18 teams.  The Winter Showcase is a three game/four day event played at the beginning of December traditionally held in Sarasota, FL.  The annual Summer Playoffs/Showcase will again be held this June using the same 3 game/4 day format.  Teams that make it through the initial playoff phase move on to the Academy Finals, this July in Carson, CA.  U12, U13 and U14 teams will play in Winter Futsal events, U13 and U14 will play in a Fall Regional event and the U14 team will play in a National Showcase within the June timeframe.

Player Designations


Full Roster

The U14/U16/U18 Full Rosters will consist of players who can only participate on their designated Academy team (or an older age group Academy team if needed), with only 1 exception:  National Team duty.   All Academy team players must forego playing for their high school team as they will participate in a 10 month Academy season.  Each player is assured a 25% minimum start requirement so long as they maintain Internationals Academy standards for training and game availability.
 

Development Player (DP)
 
A Development Player is registered with the Academy (uniform required) and can play a maximum of 6 games for his team.  He will participate in all practices but is eligible to play NPL and his high school soccer season.  His status is similar to Pre-Academy except that he is immediately eligible to play in games and there is more training available.

Pre-Academy
 
All Pre-Academy players will train with their respective Academy team once a week. U14 players will be split into 3 rotating groups while U16/U18 Pre-As can choose the day they train with the Full rosters.  They also MAY be moved up at some point to a Developmental Player (DP) status within the Academy which allows them to participate in Academy games so long as those are limited to a maximum of 6 appearances - there is no minimum.  A Pre-Academy player will also be placed on an NPL team and play against the same clubs as the Full Academy.  They may be asked to participate in leagues other than NPL, tournaments, and State Cup competitions (see below) and, individually, choose to play in such organizations as ODP, ID2, and All Star events.  They may also participate in the high school soccer season and come back to Academy training in November.  If Pre-Academy players choose not to play high school their training with the Academy will encompass the entire 10 month time period.
 

NPL

NPL players are Internationals Soccer Club players who are training at a high training and competition level working toward future advancement to the Academy either through a Full or Pre-Academy.  They may be asked to participate in leagues other than NPL, tournaments, and State Cup competitions and, individually, choose to play in such organizations as ODP, ID2, and All Star events.  They may also participate in the high school soccer season.  The main thrust, however, will be development and training within a team framework so as to better prepare them for the Development Academy program.

For Internationals, the main focus of teams U13 and above is the National Premier League, a unified, league-based national developmental platform with the highest level of competition in its geographic areas.  Created to elevate and change the competitive youth soccer landscape based upon US Club Soccer’s fundamental principles, the NPL extends developmental principals espoused by the U.S. Soccer Development Academy into younger age groups and additional clubs, providing a platform for long-term player development.  It has become the gateway for youth soccer players into the Developmental Academy program.
Internationals is a member of the Midwest Developmental League which includes ONLY USSDA clubs within the Mid-America Division of the Central Conference.  Beginning in 2014, competition within the NPL will include:  Michigan Wolves, Vardar, St Louis Scott Gallagher(2), Minnesota Thunder, Chicago Fire, Magic, and Sockers along with the Columbus Crew and Indiana Fire.

The culminating event each year is the NPL Champions Cup, where national championships are awarded. The NPL Champions Cup features qualifiers from every NPL across the country in a true “champions league” competition.  www.nationalpremierleagues.com

With the training and activities listed above, the NPL player comes well-prepared for the next step in their development - the Internationals Development Academy.


Club

They may be asked to participate in leagues other than NPL, tournaments, and State Cup competitions and, individually, choose to play in such organizations as ODP, ID2, and All Star events.  They may also participate in the high school soccer season.

Locally, and through all age groups, Internationals Club players will play in the Alliance Premier Soccer League which recently joined the US Club Soccer’s Premier Leagues platform, a network of leagues in local, statewide and similar geographic regions for competitive clubs and teams.  Based in Northeast Ohio, teams compete in a divisional format as well as in many tournament competitions.  


The Premier Leagues platform builds on the success of the National Premier Leagues (NPL) and the principle that league-based competition is the primary means for long-term player development and growth of the game.  www.clevelandalliancesoccer.com
