Girls Academy: Leading Youth Soccer
The Girls Academy stands as the premier platform for fostering the growth of elite female soccer players in the United States. It prioritizes active engagement from the players to have genuine league ownership. The academy respects the ambition of club members and players to uphold an unparalleled level of excellence in coaching, competition, and yearly regional and national showcase events.
As a founding member, the Salvo SC Girls Academy provides a program that challenges young women to be and become their best selves as soccer players and people, and our coaches, staff, and parents are committed to elevating the young person on and off the field. We are devoted to creating an environment that enables every player to achieve their maximum potential by celebrating the player’s journey with a lifelong passion for the game through tough competition, showcases, and camaraderie.
GA Overview
Girls Academy is a national competition platform with teams for girls ages 13-19, and is used for college, US Youth National team, and international soccer recruiting. The GA is the most demanding soccer league Salvo SC offers, with 10-month programming for players not participating in high school soccer and 8-month programming for those who are.
Once in Salvo’s GA, players meet four or more times a week and participate in additional training throughout the seasons. As a nationally competitive league, travel can be extensive, so players and families should expect an intensive commitment level.
