Storm's Youth Academy program is the next tier from recreational level soccer. Our Youth Academy is broken into a younger program for our 9U through 14U teams that play in the Fall and Spring, where the primary goal of the program is to provide players with a technical mastery and a basis of tactical understanding.

Our youngest players in the 9U through 12U program play in a club-to-club friendly match schedule where we schedule another club on a matchday and all of our boys and girls teams from our club play matches against our opposition. We typically have 12-14 matchdays. Once a player reaches, 13U, the teams play in a variety of leagues, including USYS National League, Southeastern Clubs Champions League, and Georgia Soccer Leagues where teams results begin to come into play and teams get placed into divisions that they can both gain promotion.

Storm's Youth Academy program for our older players in the 15U through 19U play only a fall league season, though the teams may play a tournament schedule in the spring as well. This is typically dependent on player availability and conflicts with their high school teams, and if a tournament schedule can fit into the busy spring. Our primary goals are to provide the players with a firm tactical basis as they are beginning to play at levels where you play to win vs play to develop, especially with high school, college, and semi-pro as their next levels of play and provide players and their parents with the necessary knowledge to navigate the sometimes confusing college recruiting landscape.

* Tryout times, location, and field assignments are subject to change depending upon the early tryout player registration. We have several age groups that have very high levels of early sign-ups and other age groups that have expected sign-up levels. Those sign-up volumes can dramatically change as we approach tryout dates which can cause us to need to increase field space allocation for specific age groups. We will send out notifications of any changes to all players that have registered for tryouts in advance.

Storm's Player Development Academy (PDA) is geared for more serious players at the U6 through U8 ages. It is the next level from recreational soccer and provides a development platform for players that are looking to enter our Youth Academy Program. Player Development Academy is also a great place to get a jumpstart on your skill development for those that want to play for their school teams eventually. Our program is designed to develop players 6U through 8U. Our goal is to provide a professional and structured training program designed to prepare younger players to transition to the next level of competitive soccer. All PDA age groups practice two nights per week but players may also participate in optional additional supplemental training sessions.
