SDS Testimonials


Take a look at what people have to say about the USA Summer Development Soccer Program:

My son has enjoyed the USA Summer Development Soccer Program this summer. Coach Dave has been terrific and Ethan really enjoys playing for him, and the team has really progressed in their short time together. Well done to the whole USA Staff.

I want to thank you for all of your hard work with the Fusion. My daughter Caroline absolutely loved her experience in the Summer Development Program. She always looked forward to the practices and games as well as the new techniques she would learn from you. She could not wait to try them out in game situations.
She has always had talent but lacked the confidence & aggressiveness to play consistently throughout the whole game. She really showed tremendous growth & improvement. She seems very confident in her skills now and that is a testament to your good coaching.
Thank you for making this a great experience for Caroline and the Fusion.

My son participated in the 2009 USA Summer Development Program and in many ways, it was a great experience for him. USA were extremely organized and the trainers were first class. The level of competion and caliber of the team, chosen by USA, was outstanding. The USA Summer Development Program got my son, and 4 other teamates from our Travel Team, ready for full sided play.  In addition, the boys were incredibly fit for their upcoming Fall season. By the end of the program, my son not only had formed great friendships with kids from all over the area but had also improved his tactical play. Without any reservations, I would highly recommend the USA Summer Development Program for player's continued development.

Both my children played on USA Soccer Summer Development teams and are the better for it. My initial thinking was it would be a good bridge between spring and fall seasons, but it proved to be much more. My U-11 son competed against top-ranked players and teams, focusing him and preparing him for his club soccer season. Through fun and instructive drills carried out by USA's dedicated trainers, my U-9 daughter sharpened fundamentals and picked up her game. There was just the right mix of fun and competition to keep her interested and excited, and the advances she made were on display throughout her latest flight-winning season for our town club.

The USA Summer Development Program provided a great opportunity for my daughter to capitalize on her Spring season in an age appropriate,  fun, focused coaching environment.  Playing with other girls from outside of our home town in a more competitive environment was a great experience and we plan to repeat the session in 2010.  A first class experience.  I would recommend this program.

The summer development program has been a wonderful experience for my son and his teamates. Moving from small sided to the full field can require an adjustment for some players. USA's caring and knowledgeable staff made this a smooth transition which allowed the boys to improve in their skills and love for the game. I would recommend this fun program to anyone committed to making a difference in their game.

William had a very positive experience with the Summer Development Soccer Program in 2009.  He found it very challenging in that it consistently demanded a high level of play.  In particular, he feels it taught him to play faster, both on the ball and off the ball, and it helped him tremendously in improving his overall degree of aggressiveness, especially with winning the ball in midfield.  It provided the additional benefit of keeping him fit in anticipation of the first year of high school soccer.  He greatly appreciates having had the opportunity to participate in the program.

The USA Summer Development Program is an outstanding opportunity for soccer players soon making the transition to high school soccer.  Excellent coaching and a competitive environment helped our son improve his skills and prepared him for the rigor of varsity soccer. The USA Summer Development Program proved to be not only beneficial for our son,  but also a lot fun.
J.Sweeney. Child participating with USA SDS U14 Boys Best 2009.

 In the USA Summer Development Program, our son had the opportunity to play with players who were more advanced than he was used to playing with in his regular travel team. Participating in the SDS program gave him more confidence in his skills - and he was actually made captain of his team when they resumed in the fall. He has always enjoyed the many USA camps he participated on in the past, and he liked participating in the Summer Development Program even more.
 Additionally, he was one of a handful of students who made the Middle School soccer team as a 6th grader, which hasn't happened in the last couple years. Usually only the 7th and 8th grade students make it. The SDS program gave him the confidence to play with older kids.
He came away from the program with nothing but good things to say.
