Fall New England Skill Academies Announced
The New England Skills Academies, which debuted in the spring of 2009, were designed specifically for serious high school players hoping to take their game to the next level.
This fall the Academies are returning with three locations across New England: New Britain, Connecticut; Trumbull, Connecticut; and Lexington, Massachusetts.
New England Skills Academies are not your normal camp or clinic. They are very intense group training sessions, aimed at providing players with premier instruction and skill development.
Five things set the New England Skills Academies apart.
Coaching: The lead instructor at every Skill Academy is a former college coach, guaranteeing that each player receives instruction from a highly qualified and experienced coach.
Curriculum: All Academies follow the same building block approach by which we will teach individual skills first and foremost and then progress towards team based skills and concepts with two-man game, three-man game, and four-man game action.
Competition: Although 5 on 5 games are not a part of the Academies’ curriculum, some of our drill work is done in a competitive style in order to simulate game conditions. Because enrollment is limited to a small number and because all players are hopeful college prospects, there is a correlating high level of competition that forces each player to be at their best.
Evaluation: The New England Recruiting Report will visit each of the Academies throughout the duration of their program. At the conclusion of the program, each player will receive a detailed written scouting report about their game including what they need to work on to reach the next level.
Education: Each Academy will also include a one time informational session on the NCAA Clearinghouse so that players and parents both know exactly what it takes academically to make themselves eligible for an athletic scholarship.
