Smithsonian Soccer Academy is offering the most comprehensive Summer soccer training program in the Hampton Roads region.
This Summer soccer training program is open to all players from any club. We provide age-appropriate training for 6-8 year old players as well as intensive skills based training for 9-18 year olds. Our program is a great value and includes as many as 8 training sessions run by professional coaches.
The 2025 Smithsonian Summer Soccer Academy features a stations based format which utilizes small-sided games, intensive technical training, cognitive soccer exercises, and fitness training. We believe that great players are developed in a game like environment where they learn the technical skills, tactical insight, cognitive decision-making skills, and athleticism required to play at the highest levels. Players will develop quickly and return to their teams as impact players in the Fall.

My girls started here at ages 8 &10, just beginning to play advanced soccer. They are now 14 & 16, and play at the State and Region 1 level with the Olympic Development Program, along with elite club teams. Smithsonian Soccer Academy’s training has helped my girls grow and learn how to play real soccer. I would recommend this training to everyone!! — Deanna Rowe Hammond
“The Smithsonian Soccer Program has helped me improve my game mentally and physically. My vision of the game has improved dramatically along with my physical strength and agility. With the help of all the trainers in the program my technical skills with the ball have also improved. I have seen a major improvement with how much more comfortable and confident I am on the game field.” -Megan Rinderer“
My daughters participated in the summer program and we were surprised with their development. As a result of that training, we noticed improvement in their game speed, decision making, and ball skill. The mix of conditioning, skills training and small sided games made them each a better player. The format balanced fun with hard work, and the level of competition kept them motivated and challenged. We look forward to their continued development, and thank you again for the training opportunity with some of the best coaches and players in the area.” — John Wilson
