About PCDA
Our mission is simple. We are currently in the process of establishing a network of post high school residential soccer academies across the U.S.A. Our aim is to bridge the gap between youth soccer and YOUR ‘Next Level.’
Whether you aspire to play college soccer in the U.S.A., pursue academy soccer overseas, or embark on a professional career, it is important to remember that you are still at a young age, with much to learn, and likely in need of more time to develop physically. Statistics indicate that you will require additional time to develop and make a significant impact at the collegiate level.
