Orlando-based Florida Virtual School is the nation's largest fully-certified online state public school. FLVS has served more than 600,000 students throughout Florida and boasts an award-winning, fully customizable K to 12 curriculum taught by highly qualified Florida-certified teachers.
The Academy of Soccer program was specifically developed to address the deficiencies in the "club model" long utilized for player development throughout the U.S. The core tenet of the approach is fundamental instruction and training done correctly, coupled with the development of the soccer mind – a concept widely recognized throughout Europe and South America.
The Academy provides youth players with a full nine months of consistent, high level development, training and education. The training program includes a daily regimen of individual and group training, soccer-specific conditioning, speed and strength training, nutrition and an on-going individualized assessment and feedback process. Instruction is carried out by a highly qualified coaching staff trained and experienced in the European academy system.
"We provide youth players here the closest thing they can realistically experience comparable to a professional environment," offers Bryn Lloyd, president and director. "What we offer is a truly unique approach to fundamental development and a comprehensive soccer education – critical elements that are sadly not made available elsewhere for developing U.S. youth players." Lloyd is a well-known club director in Florida youth soccer who previously played and coached professionally in England and is an alum of the renowned Chelsea FC Academy.
To assist and ensure proper funding of this first-of-its-kind endeavor, The Academy has a full array of sponsorship packages available and has planned a number of fundraising events, including the Golf Four A Goal TAOS Inaugural Golf Tournament set for October 2nd at the Summerfield Crossings Golf Course.
