The academy program at college park is designed for players (u8-u12) who are ready to progress from recreational soccer to a more competitive level. The program is a center of soccer excellence with practices two times a week after school including league play on weekends against other Metro Atlanta academy clubs (10-12 academy game days and 2-3 tournaments per season). Academy members have a third weekly option of practice with the Resurgens Futsal program.

“The role of the coach is to enable the player to explore. By allowing that player to explore they can gain a better understanding to become more aware and from that place to make a better decision than he or she would have made previously .”
