U9/U10 Academy

How it works: The DMSC Academy Program is a professionally managed developmental "pre-select" program for young players that are ready for the next step beyond rec soccer. At DMSC, we have developed a season curriculum, coaching methodology, and long term developmental plan, which is executed by US Soccer grassroots licensed coaches under the guidance of our Academy Director, Matt Lamale.

​

Those participating in the Academy will train in one group 2-3 times per week and will be placed on game rosters for weekend games. Emphasis is learning to train, learning to be a good person and teammate, and HAVE FUN!

Who is it for?

The Academy Program is the bridge between recreational soccer and select soccer for 9U & 10U players. There are no try-outs. Anyone who signs up can play. However, this tends to be a program for kids who like to play soccer at a higher level.
