This conclusive review proved changes must be made for US Soccer to advance to the next level of world play. The US Development Academy’s philosophy is based on creating an environment for the correct mode of player development, in the right every day environment, with less total games, and more high quality competitive games based on US Soccer’s Best Practices. Furthermore, the US Development Academy creates a network of National Team coaches and Academy clubs to identify players early for the National Team and guide those players properly to their future long term success.
