The De Anza Force Pre-Academy Clinic Series is a free, training experience for boys and girls born in 2012, 2013, and 2014. The sessions will be led by the Club’s senior coaching from MLS Next and ECNL Girls, the highest competition platforms for boys and girls soccer in the U.S. The coaching staff includes Jeff Baicher, Paul Bravo, Eric Yamamoto, Cameron Rast, Nick Blanco, Matheus Menezes, Facundo Dipasquale, and Joe O’Hehir.

Each clinic will give both players and parents the opportunity to experience The Force Way, our unique curriculum and methodology created and evolved over 25 years of successful player development. De Anza Force is unparalleled in Northern California, with hundreds of our student-athletes currently competing in college soccer programs across the U.S. The Force Pro Pathway provides our players a platform to trial with both domestic and European professional leagues. Currently, we have Force alumni on contract in MLS, USL, NWSL, WPSL, Liga F, Damallsvenskan, Scottish League One, Bundesliga, and Belgian Pro League.

Clinic players experience a positive and dynamic environment that focuses on our pre-academy curriculum:

• Psychomotor development
• Master the ball, to dominate possession
• Individual and small group attacking and defending
• Individual player actions to facilitate decision-making
• Foundational position play - rondo and the position game
