Register a player for the U14 Pre-Academy
Roster
The team roster is limited to 18 primary and 12 secondary players. Our initial roster will be due prior to our first league match in November and finalized roster isn’t due until 2010. We anticipate that we will give playing opportunities to as many rostered players (primary and secondary) as possible.
Cost
The program cost will vary based on the number of competitions in which each player competes.
- Base fee ($200 per player) - covers league and player registration, game fees, practice charges and other club costs.
- Travel Fee (approx. $250 per player) - required for bus/hotel/food when team travels with US Development Academy U16 / U18 teams.
- Refunds will be given to players based on their game participation.
You will be able to make on-line payments for the Pre-Academy base fee at our web site this week. We will notify you of the web status and instructions via e-mail.
Practices
The team will practice on the weekends prior to game weekends. Practices will be in Rochester unless otherwise noted.
Schedules
We expect that all Empire USA coaches will schedule around the Pre-Academy game dates whenever possible.
Uniforms
Players will wear current Empire USA apparel. Players that are with other clubs will need to purchase jerseys, shorts and socks (approx. $125).
Kick Off Meeting
In the next few weeks, we plan on conducting a training session and mandatory player/ parent meeting. We will schedule this activity on a Sunday so that we will alleviate conflicts with high school commitments.
