The MASA Academy program is designed for U9+ Pre Travel, U10 Travel, and U11 Travel.
The MASA academy session are held on Monday nights at the Discovery Field in Moon Parks. Training is usually performed by MASA coaches as well as designated coaches from three (3) local clubs (Riverhounds, FC Pittsburgh and Century West). It is a great opportunity for your child to work with other coaches and develop their technical skills.
For parents, this it is an introduction to the clubs, however please note that MASA is not affiliated with any of them. For MASA
coaches, an opportunity to share knowledge about the game with coaches outside of our organization.
