East Cherokee Soccer Club

The Advanced Development Program (ADP) is a year-round training initiative designed to elevate the game of high-performing players or players that want to learn more about the game. It is modeled after the European development environment and attempts to eliminate the common “pay to play” US soccer culture. Accepted players train twice weekly during the off-season and once weekly during regular club play, ensuring consistent development across all seasons. The program is open to select boys and girls in the U8-U14 age groups, offering them an opportunity to sharpen their skills while continuing to compete with their home club recreational teams.

 

Players invited to the ADP will remain fully active with their respective recreational teams, representing them in both practices and matches. What sets the ADP apart is its focus on ambition, attitude, and ability and identifying not only natural talent but also the drive to grow and master the game. Participants will commit to a structured training regimen that extends beyond scheduled sessions, including independent work to maximize progress. ADP may also schedule local matches or tournaments against other academy level programs.
