How nice to be 8 and play the 'Chicago Youth World Cup Final' at Soldier Field (in a USA shirt) in front of thousands;
just before the real 'World Cup Final' kicks off and then watch the big game on the jumbotrons
The Develop Pro Soccer Academy is a non-for-profit organization established in 2011 in Illinois. The Academy is committed to the talented and very serious young soccer players of today who are to be the future of soccer domestically and internationally.
The structure within the training sessions demands the most out of each player and will focus on technical attributes put to test against some of the best young talent in the area.
Every session will be run at game speed and involve dribbling, shooting and passing.

We welcome all players (ages 8-13 only) at a tryout with one or more of our 'Students of the Game'.
Because of the level of play of our Students; we are looking for those that have played competitively for at least a year, have good ball control, a solid understanding of the game, give their best effort consistently and
really enjoy the world's 'most popular' game.
The Academy is not a club team and does not wish to interfere with the regular training and game/tournament schedule the player is involved with. The Academy wants to compliment the training that the soccer player receives for quicker development. In Europe and South America players play for many hours every single day which creates an advantage over those that do it minimally as many do in the States.
The Academy is perfect for those who want to become College Level or Professional Players.
