ABOUT CINCINNATI DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY
The Cincinnati Development Academy is excited to kick off the first season as part of the US Soccer Girls’ Development Academy in the Fall of 2017. The US Soccer Development Academy will be the top program for girls’ soccer in the country and will serve as the primary pathway to the Youth National Teams, while also helping players best prepare themselves for college soccer. The Development Academy’s Key Principles center on more training (min. 4x sessions/week), less total games, more meaningful competition, international rules/standards, and better coaching + accountability over a 10-month season in one soccer environment.
WHY DID CUP AND KHA COME TOGETHER?
Cincinnati United and Kings Hammer wanted to create the most competitive environment for elite players in Cincinnati. We felt that two clubs aligned in vision and philosophies could come together at the highest level to bring something great to the city!

CDA STRUCTURE
CDA is comprised of ten teams. Six of these teams will compete in USYS/US Club and four of these teams will compete in the US Soccer Development Academy in the following age groups.

WHAT DOES THE SCHEDULE LOOK LIKE?
Regular Season Conference Games The Development Academy will feature more than 68 of the top clubs in the country. These clubs come from US Youth Soccer and the National League, the ECNL, US Club Soccer, and other competitive environments. Cincinnati Development Academy will be part of the Mid-America conference. Teams in this conference will come from Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, and Indiana. We anticipate there will be more neighboring states included in this conference to grow the quality of competition. The DA will have around 27-30 games throughout the 10-month season, where half of these games will be home games played in Cincinnati. These games will be evenly distributed through these 10 months so there is a major focus on quality weekly training to prepare for the weekend matches. With this game distribution, it will allow players proper rest and recovery breaks. This is very similar to the travel for regional competition all other clubs in this area currently face.

Showcases/College Coaches The DA will also feature three showcases throughout the year, allowing player exposure to US National team scouts and college coaches in a showcase format. The Winter Showcase will be held in early December in Florida. The Spring and Summer Showcase (June) locations are still being finalized. Along with the Showcases, the depth of talent inside the Development Academy will lead to college coaches coming to watch these high-level regular season matches. We have spoken to many college coaches across all levels of play — they are excited about the DA.
Competition Rules and Player Pool The Development Academy requires all ages play 11v11, game-day rosters have maximum of 18 players, and all players must start 25% of games.
