Southern Maryland's Pro/Collegiate Player Development Academy

 

Maryland-Elite SC's Elite Travel Academy is a developmental academy.  This means that we focus on providing consistent, high quality training which fosters an effective learning environment for each individual player within our Academy program.  Our focus is on turning individual players into the best possible version of themselves; we train our players with the goal of promoting them to and developing them into successful collegiate and professional players.  Maryland-Elite strives to provide the region's most talented, driven, and dedicated youth soccer players with an unparalleled soccer program; designed with a "pro player development" mindset and operated by a full-time Professional Technical Staff. 

​

          We are a year-round program, having three to four practices in the Spring and Fall months, and two to three practices in the Summer and Winter months.  A season will consist of any combination of league games, tournaments, showcases, etc. However, elite, developmental training is Maryland-Elite SC’s primary focus. Scheduling and programming are left to the discretion of the Technical Staff. The opportunities for each player will be dictated by the Technical Staff and determined by the current developmental needs of the membership. Once again, PLAYERS are given these opportunities, never specific and named Maryland-Elite SC teams with set, concrete rosters.  Since the MESC Academy Program is a developmental academy, groups of players who will be combined for participation in seasonal opportunities (I.e. a league, tournament, showcase, etc.,) are chosen by individual player’s ability and developmental level.  Our Academy players train and play as a Club, not as a team.  Our Academy is not a recreational based travel program, which focuses on team specifics.  We are an academy, which focuses on elite, individual player development. 

​

          The sole focus of a member of the Maryland-Elite SC Academy should be their development as an individual player in lieu of participation in set leagues or events. 

All MESC Academy programs are staffed by Professional Coaches and Trainers

 

All MESC Academy programs follow MESC's Elite Player Curriculum & Elite Player Pathway
