Our Goal: To fix U.S. Soccer and remove the sitting 10,000 lb. Elephant and her standing 10,000 lb. brother, the “Gorilla” from the Room!
Purpose: Soccer Up America™ is designed to teach International and Brazilian Technical Skills in a national competitive system supporting the developmental needs of players within Individual, Team and Camp based platforms for aspiring soccer players in order to advance both their Athletic Prowess (Speed and Agility) and Mental Toughness (Confidence and Passion). Nothing like the Soccer Up America (Tm) Technical Skills Training System has ever been imagined or implemented in this country to date and I must note that there are many camp and club systems out there. Our Technical Skills System is currently rated as “Game Changing”.
