Elk Grove Soccer announces a unique strategic partnership with FC Sporting. We are honored to be recognized as one of the top clubs in the country by The Elite Academy League. Everyone involved in the club has worked extremely hard over the years to take our club to the next level. We value having a level of play for every kid in our community. Being a part of the Elite Academy League only adds to that. The opportunity to play in National Showcases, gain more exposure to colleges, and play against top-level clubs such as LA Galaxy Academy and LAFC, to name a couple, is exciting. Being a part of The Elite Academy League is an incredible opportunity for any player in the Elk Grove and Sacramento area who aspires to play at the next level.
The Elite Academy League is a national league composed of 55 top soccer clubs nationwide grouped into conferences based on their location. We will be joining the Northwest NorCal Conference, which consists of six other elite clubs here in Northern California. We will be entering teams in the U13-U19 boy’s levels while also creating Pre-EAL teams at U11 & U12.
Our U13 and U14 will compete in two regional showcases on the West Coast. In comparison, our U15-U19 teams will compete in two National Showcases. All our teams will also have the opportunity to qualify for the National Championship.
Each game will be filmed, analyzed by HUDL, and shared with our players to help them excel in their development.
Joining the Elite Academy League will offer our players a level of play that sits atop the youth landscape. It will help elevate our club’s level while allowing our players to go against the top talent regionally & nationally.
While many clubs struggle with meeting the needs of their soccer community, Elk Grove continues to impress. Elk Grove Soccer added 28 new competitive teams for the spring season. If you feel your child’s development is stalled, time is ticking, contact us today to reach the heights you know your child can achieve.

High School Soccer
Should I play, yes or no? Read on....
As many of you enter high school you now have the option to play High School Sports.
Hopefully, the following information will help give you a clearer understanding of high school soccer. We also have a few families on the team that have older children that have played in high school. They would be a great resource.
Plus, chat to those players that have played high school. It is important to chat to the high school players that have played college.
For the last 20 years club and high school coaches have debated who should have priority and what is important. Here are a few of those questions and debates.
The 2006/2005 EA team will continue to train during the high school season. Your training schedule has always been about maximizing your true potential.
The answer to this question is no (this is a California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) rule not a club rule).
This year, high school soccer is scheduled to begin around Thanksgiving and end at the end of February.
The 98% (top 1-2% reserved for Division 1 and 2 college players) of soccer players in the US that are unable to play in college or go professional you should play high school. If your current trajectory is leaning towards this, then High School should be considered. (article click here – https://www.soccerwire.com/news/should-development-academy-players-be-allowed-to-play-high-school-soccer/)
The Men’s DA (since disbanded) strongly discouraged any of the players playing High School. The common thought by many involved high up in youth soccer is, High School Soccer serves its purpose, but does it help with development, not really.
Will try my best to remain objective here. From my experience high school soccer coaching can be OK. Training may not be what you are used to, but some may not realize the difference as it depends on your current training.
The vast majority of college coaches don’t watch high school games. The main reason is there is a large difference in levels when you watch high school. As a college coach, I can go to a Surf, Vegas Showcase etc. and watch teams with players of all similar levels. I know the CRC assistant coaches (Junior College) watched some high school games last year, hence the reason I say the “vast majority of college coaches”. For more information on the college process, please click here
It goes back to the answers above. My son aspires to play professional and due to this, high school soccer was never going to be an option.
You can always ask the coaching staff for their opinion and I would chat with other families about their high school experience and talk with your son. I have talked to most of you regarding this already. There are a couple of players on the team that playing high school would be a very good fit. It is a great way to gain status in your high school and everyone loves a star high school athlete!
Technically, no. There is a slight issue here. Our teams train a little different than most. There is also periodization – here is a great video to explain what periodization is – https://youtu.be/aaL80_VT-uU
This coming year you have to choose – player club during the high school season or play high school.
The 2006/2005 are scheduled to go to a college showcase in North Carolina December 9, 10 & 11.
The EA rosters are fluid and while you are gone, your place will be filled by another player. It is your job to win it back on your return.
