HI-PERFORMANCE SOCCER ACADEMY is a services provider offering a wide range of programs for youth soccer clubs, teams and players. HPSA offers a trusted youth development model -- teaching the game of soccer and providing professional coaching & training services in a similar style to the professional European system of development.

We first and foremost start with the player -- we provide year round daily training opportunities and a comprehensive soccer education program to ensure players of all ages and playing abilities are able to increase proficiency and love of the game. We next focus on soccer teams – teams that are interested in excelling and in performing at the best of individual and collective talents. Our Academy is designed for players and teams with the desire, dedication, and determination to develop their technical skills and tactical knowledge. Finally – we focus on the Soccer Club environment. Most local Club programs are run by volunteers – and often those volunteers have passion, dedication, and desire – but lack both time and knowledge. HPSA can help. We have senior level Directors that can build and run a Club – from a Little Kickers program, to a robust Recreational Club, to a competitive travel structure, with training programs to meet the needs of all players. It is our belief that every player has the potential to develop into an outstanding soccer player.

Our goal at HI-Performance Soccer Academy is to accelerate the learning process by providing youth players an opportunity to receive professional instruction, a 'traditional club environment', a year-round training curriculum, and an appropriate level of competition to ensure fun and success . We strive to instill soccer knowledge and skill – but most importantly to provide a youth sports environment which will allow players to enjoy playing, to develop teamwork skills, mental strength, and a motivation to succeed.

HI-Performance Soccer Academy Key Differentiators: Why select HPSA?:

• Staff Quality and Experience: Nothing distinguishes HPSA from our competitors more than our large and experienced staff. We have coaches and trainers that excel at training top players and teams. Those coaches have proven track records at building teams able to compete at the National level. Many of our Coaches are local University Soccer Coaches or DC United players – and coach because they want to be involved in youth sports. But Nationally and State ranked teams are few and far between – and the vast majority of our coaches and trainers are purely passionate about the game – they love teaching players and teams - including lower Division WAGS, NCSL and ODSL teams, and watching them delight in their own progress. We also have a very large staff of trainers, many that are high school PE teachers, who train SFL and Recreational teams – as many Clubs are not able to staff adequately with volunteer coaches. We are proud of our staff – and they are loyal to HPSA – many have worked for us since the inception of the company.
• Programs: Our program goal is to offer greater breadth and depth than any other local provider. HPSA is proud to offer state-of-the-art programs that meet the interests and playing abilities of all players and teams. Our goal is also to provide Senior Staff that can take on the management of a local Club – from developing training programs, to Directing a Recreational Program, to Directing the Travel Program and overseeing a staff of travel coaches. We offer a broad range of coaching and training plans for travel teams – both seasonal and year round. And finally, we offer a wide spectrum of skills clinics and soccer camps – serving our youngest Little Kickers through specializing in getting high school students ready for spring soccer tryouts and high school seniors counseling advice on college applications and recruiting. All of our program offerings are customizable to meet the specific needs of our customers.
• Philosophy: We believe that developing a soccer player is both science and art. Technical and tactical soccer players are developed through repetition of drills – which we work hard to have players understand. We also believe that players with a passion for the game are developed through the heart – and we emphasize passion, integrity, sportsmanship in equal portions to pure skill development. That passion and integrity are reflected in every aspect of HPSA.
• Experience: We have been doing this for a long time. Some of the players we taught as youngsters are now playing for DC United, local colleges and universities, and many former students are now HPSA coaches. Nothing makes us prouder than to watch a player that started with us as a Little Kicker (at 3, 4 or 5) develop into a player that starts for their high school team and calls us to ask for help with college recruiting! We know soccer – with HPSA you are putting your Club, your teams, and your players into the hands of experienced professionals.
• Development Models: We know how to build and run great soccer clubs. We have models for working to develop and train volunteer coaches. We have models for travel managers; and a framework for Club websites, registration, and other administrative duties. We know how to develop soccer teams that trust each other and work well together. We know how to develop soccer players – changing coaching talent every three years; rotating trainers during one night a week cross training events. We would like the opportunity to help design a program that is right for your needs.
