The Buffalo Academy
of Soccer
A place where youth from all corners of Buffalo come together to enjoy the world's most Beautiful Game.
In partnership with:
A True Collage of Buffalo Soccer
Buffalo Sports Project has teamed up with Buffalo United, The Buffalo Maendeleo SC, and The Buffalo Stallions to form The Buffalo Academy of Soccer — a place where youth from all corners of the City of Buffalo can come together and enjoy the world's most Beautiful Game!
Players in The Academy have the opportunity to train and play up to 5 days a week at various fields and facilities around the City of Buffalo. Each of the partner clubs will act as hosts for the day at their locations. Every player has at least one night of play a week in their neighborhood and can travel to another neighborhood to play on the other nights.
Each partner club in The Academy has a different cultural feel and style of play, creating a true collage of experiences for players looking to advance their skills and play in a really fun and diverse soccer community.
How The Academy Works
Season & Flexibility
- The Academy season runs August 1st – July 31st, but players can join any time they want.
- One central registration covers all play with each of the partner clubs and an academy uniform.
- Players are not required to attend all sessions — but the more they play, the better they become and the more fun they'll have!
TeamSnap App
- Once registration is complete, players receive an email invite to join the Academy TeamSnap App.
- Players and family members can see the complete schedule and receive important updates from the coaching staff.
- We ask that each player marks their availability in TeamSnap for each event — this helps our staff plan the best possible experience.
What Happens Each Session
Warm-Up
Stretching and an individual athletic activity led by our junior coaches.
Skills Training
Fun, developmentally appropriate soccer drills designed to build individual skill and player confidence with the ball.
Competitive Games
Players divide into teams and play toward a daily champion. Younger ages play similar games at their own pace.
TeamSnap App
After registration, players receive an invite to the Academy TeamSnap App to view the full schedule and receive updates from the coaching staff.
