Frequently Asked Questions
Who can participate?
The Academy is available for both boys and girls from 3 to 17 years old. Team play or weekly training.
Can a player participating in the Academy play for other teams or academies?
The main purpose of the school is to develop players individually. Players can play for any team or academy that they choose to play for in their free time. Players in the Syracuse Soccer Academy are in no way obligated to play on the SSA teams.
What is the difference between club soccer and the Syracuse Soccer Academy?
Soccer clubs are designed to form teams 1st, so the players are evaluated and trained in a team environment. SSA is designed to focus on each individual player 1st rather than on the team. All SSA students must undergo 1-5 of our curriculum before they are introduced to team play. Team and games at a young age are simply to apply the correct techniques and encourage combination play.
Who will conduct the training?
Coach Tony Epifani, Ed Barnard, Dave Bove, Gino Epifani, Gino Barbuto, Penny Powers, Chloe Zmolek, Fred Sharky, Len Montreal, Rony Febres, Marcello Vitale, Rudy Sapp, Sergio Palucci and Paul Waszkiewicz.
What should the players wear and bring?
Training gear, shin guards, soccer ball and water
