Academy Soccer

Osceola Youth Soccer Association’s Academy Soccer Program offers an alternative development and play opportunity geared toward players and families who are dedicated to soccer, and have a passion for the game which is "beyond recreational." The program is open to all U9 and U10 Girls and Boys. Players will train twice per week with qualified and experienced trainers.

The program is open to any individual who desires the commitment, enjoyment, and interest to develop the fundamental skills of the game of soccer. There are no tryouts. Games will be played against other Academy teams throughout the Tampa Bay Area.

The focus of the OYSA Academy Program is on

Development of individual player skills
Ensuring that players continue to evolve a love of the game
Expanding technical ball skills followed by development of tactical abilities
Preparation of older players for Club Soccer

The program's emphasis is on the development of the player first and performance of the team second rather than wins and losses. Focusing on wins at the younger ages does not translate into success at the older ages unless players learn and understand more of the game through age-appropriate training sessions that focus on player development.
