Triumph ACADEMY Program Information

   Age Group: The Academy Level Program is offered for the U9, U10, U11 & U12 (in the fall, 2004) age groups only. It is a stepping-stone to the select program.  The commitment level is more than that required in the recreational program, but less than that required of the select program.  Similar to the recreational level program, it is open to players of all skill levels. 

   Coaches: The program is run by the Coaching Director and to keep the training cost down, a combination of paid trainers and volunteer parent coaches are used who rotate through all the player training groups during the season.  There are no fixed teams in the fall for U9, U10 & U11. Fixed teams are assigned for the spring season. The player is part of the group and teams will be put together each week to play against each other and against similar teams from other associations.

   All Games:  Games will be at home (the Granite Drive Complex) and based on this current year, other metro Atlanta area associations, so travel is very limited.  The player commitment requirements (and associated parents’ commitments) are for the player to participate in two practices a week (both at TYSA facilities) and to participate in the 8 to 10 game sessions each season. 

   Duration: The commitment to the program is for one year (fall and spring season) similar to the select program. 

  Email : Nancy Marsden for questions.

Program fees in addition to player registration fees are in the neighborhood of $275 per season to cover training costs and tournament costs. 

   Mandatory: There will be at least two mandatory tournaments during the playing year.  Team summer camp is mandatory.
