Smithsonian Soccer Academy WILL Take Your Technical Skills To The Next Level

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!!

“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
