Bulverde Youth Soccer Association in conjunction with the San Antonio Texans, a division of the Dallas Texans Soccer Club, is committed to home-growing our future select players and are placing an emphasis on expanding our Academy program to help the recreational player make a smooth transition to select soccer.

Academy, also known as “developmental soccer,” offers advanced training and play opportunities geared towards players and parents who are dedicated to soccer and have a passion for the game. The program is a great opportunity for the player interested in refining their individual and team skills and techniques under the instruction of professional trainers while preparing for future development in select soccer with the San Antonio Texans when players reach the U11 age group.

The Academy program is open to U9 and U10 girls and boys who have the commitment and interest in continuing to improve and develop as a player. Also, advanced U8 players will be allowed to play up with a U9 team. Boys and girls on separate squads. There are no tryouts and 50% play per half is strictly enforced.

Players will train twice per week with their professional trainer and team manager. The games are played 6v6 including a goalkeeper and will be against other Academy teams throughout the San Antonio area.

The cost for each player to participate in the Developmental Program is $299.00 per season, which includes the player’s premium Nike uniform package and training fees.

The age matrix below lists the qualified age groups for the upcoming 20010-2011 season:
