INTRODUCTION
The Austin Texans Soccer Club believes the development of our youngest players is paramount. We understand that these young players are the future of our club and consequently, the Youth Academy strives to aide each and every player that attends in their development. Every year our competitive division has experienced major success at the state, regional and national levels. In addition, our players individually have gone on to play at the collegiate and professional level both in the US and abroad. We look forward to seeing this success continue and grow with even more players benefiting from our Youth Academy program.

PHILOSOPHY
Our philosophy is to provide all participating players with a positive and fun learning environment with an emphasis on the fundamental aspects of the game.  It is our belief that fun and enjoyment of the game remains the most important element for success.  The developmental age of the participant is taken into consideration with regards to the content and delivery of the sessions. There will be challenges given - but they will be achievable. This guarantees that each player experiences a raised self-esteem and most importantly, experiences the fun and enjoyment of soccer.

GOAL
The academy program provides the developmental bridge between recreational soccer and competitive soccer. In this program we will form teams in the preselect age groups from ages 6 – 10 years old. Our youth academy teams will participate in various leagues and tournaments and ultimately become part of our competitive program.
