RECOMMENDED: GET EVALUATED

To help our coaches get an idea of where to place your player during Open ID Sessions we recommend an evaluation prior.

During our evaluation process, we assess a player’s level technically, tactically, physically, and mentally as well as grade their performance in 1v1, rondo, & 4v4 situations. Kind of sounds like a tryout, huh?

Next Level does not require an evaluation to be chosen for one of our academy groups but since we are constantly tracking player performance and progress, an evaluation is a good place to start. 

NEXT LEVEL ACADEMY TEAMS

Next Level treats teams a little differently than most clubs in the U.S. in that you are offered a spot in an academy group and are not necessarily guaranteed a spot on a specific team. Though there is generally some consistency, Next Level team rosters are fluid and based on game reviews and player performance. Once they are offered a spot in a Next Level academy group, they will be evaluated on not only a game to game but a session to session basis. 

Next Level literally has some of the best youth soccer players and highest ranked youth teams in the entire country training inside our facility. Generally, players who play on a Next Level Academy team have ratings that put them on or above the blue “Europe” line on the Next Level Track graph. 

What if you don’t make a Next Level team? You will still be able to train at Next Level in any “NL Training” session and continue to raise your game!
