THE ACADEMY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA
A complete player-development environment—and a real second chance.
Second Chance Academy is the campaign nickname for The Academy of Central Florida. The Academy connects intensive training, performance, residence, meals, education, player care, competition, and next-step planning instead of treating soccer as a stand-alone activity.
16–20 Training Hours
A weekly rhythm for technical, tactical, positional, and team development.
Strength, Speed & Agility
Physical preparation supporting movement quality, athletic development, durability, and performance.
Residency, Meals & Support
A structured environment connecting daily accountability, nutrition, recovery, and community.
Competition & Exposure
Competition, video, evaluation, player profiles, and college-facing pathway support.
Individual Development
Player evaluation, positional priorities, feedback, match analysis, and next-step planning.
Character & Leadership
Standards, discipline, responsibility, coachability, communication, and life skills.
MEDICAL & PLAYER CARE
Support the whole player.
The intended care framework is built around availability, safety, recovery, and informed return to play.
- Pre-participation health and emergency documentation
- Injury reporting and parent/guardian communication
- Assessment, referral, rehabilitation, and return-to-play coordination
- Concussion recognition and return-to-learn/return-to-play procedures
- Strength, mobility, hydration, recovery, and load-management education
- Player-wellness and mental-performance resources
Enrollment confirmation: Specific providers, on-site coverage, schedules, insurance responsibilities, and included costs will be confirmed in final enrollment materials.
SCHOLASTIC SUPPORT
Education remains part of the pathway.
A player’s education plan should preserve future options while working realistically with training and travel demands.
- Academic intake and transcript review
- Graduation-progress and assignment monitoring
- Structured study time and academic-support referrals
- College admissions and recruiting-calendar coordination
- NCAA Eligibility Center guidance when applicable
- Parent, guardian, school, and provider communication
Enrollment confirmation: School provider, accreditation, diploma authority, courses, tuition inclusion, tutoring, and NCAA course approval will be confirmed before enrollment.
