The Hammerheads Youth Academy is a collaborative effort between four clubs from a vast demographic area bringing you the best that our region has to offer. We are a developmental academy priding ourselves on the quality of the training. We will be playing in US Club Soccer’s Southeast Regional League and at least one tournament this summer. You may be invited to travel with us to play in one of these games, but what you are paying for is the training. We are also planning a trip to Bermuda in December.
The training will officially start the first week of June and end the last week in July. There will be two training sessions a week…one at a local training facility in Myrtle Beach, Jacksonville and Wilmington and the other will be a group training session in Wilmington. The local training will primarily be a technical session while the group session will involve both technique and tactics.
The cost to participate in the summer program is $400. Everyone who attends the combine will be notified of their standing within a week and may be invited back for another tryout along with those that were not able to attend the combine. This will be at the first training session. The plan is to have at least two training sessions in Wilmington during the spring before the official start in June. If you are selected to participate in the academy you will be asked to make a $50 down payment to hold your spot. The entire $400 balance must be paid prior to June 1st to participate. Special considerations for payment plans will be made upon request and need.
