- Provide advanced soccer training and education services to players and families throughout the Spokane area;
- To bridge the divides that club soccer can create, providing an arena where the best players can come together to further develop their abilities with likeminded players;
- To impact the Spokane soccer community by establishing training programs that will benefit all levels of soccer in our area.
In order to continually carry out our mission statement, we will expose our players to:
- Experienced and enthusiastic staff members;
- A progressive and comprehensive training program;
- Academy sponsored indoor and futsal teams (selected from within the Academy programs);
- A peer learning environment where younger players work with and learn from older players.
By placing an emphasis on values such as respect, friendship, and integrity, SSA is dedicated to building character through athletics. In addition, every soccer player who attends our programs will improve his/her technical skill and develop an increased knowledge and appreciation of his/her role in the team game. This synthesis of character and skill building provides attendees with lessons that will benefit them for a lifetime.
:: Academy Philosophy ::
The Spokane Soccer Academy aspires to provide the highest quality soccer training with the objective of maximizing the individual player’s potential. Our focus is on individual skill development, instilling discipline, confidence with the ball, a higher work ethic and greater expectations within the individual.
Understanding that soccer is a game that is meant to be played with spirit and joy, we are committed to providing a structured environment where not only can the player improve but his/her spirit expressed and joy fueled.
We encourage those who attend our sessions to use their imagination and creativity. We also encourage taking risks, explaining that making mistakes is a natural part of the game and assist in improving their decision-making ability under pressure.
While our programs are geared toward individual skill development, we actively work to instill a sense of game application so that participants are able to assimilate what they have learned into their team play.
Players are provided immediate feedback and individualized guidance throughout our sessions, which allows for accelerated learning.
The only demands made of participants are effort and concentration....ideals espoused
