Pittsburgh Riverhounds Academy
http://riverhounds.com/academy/index_E.html
The Riverhounds Academy Premier Training Program (est 2007) has a tiered structure that promotes the development of our players depending on an individuals skill level and age. As a program, the journey for a player begins at an age early of four and continues through hanging up the cleats. The training groups are instructed by current Riverhound professional players and coaches, who are responsible for the development of all boys and girls in the Academy. A major positive of the program is the ability of the instructor to show the Academy players the correct methods of performing each technical aspect of the game. This is strictly a training program. No league games are included. Some friendlies and/or tournament participation may be included.
Olympic Development Program (ODP):
