Goalkeepers
Goalkeepers are welcome to come to the Academy- however there will not be a separate goalkeeper program. We believe that having basic soccer skills is essential even for goalkeepers. When matches are played goalkeepers may be used in the nets depending on the circumstances.
Shalrie’s Availability
Shalrie is the director of the Academy. The training program is personally designed by Shalrie with the goal to maximize skill training and fundamentals while having fun. Shalrie will attempt to be at as many sessions as possible. After his professional obligations, the PROformance Soccer Academy is his #1 commitment. Since 2009, Shalrie has made over 70% of the sessions. Shalrie will miss full day Academy morning sessions because of MLS practice, but will be available for the afternoon portions.
In addition to Shalrie, we have expanded our professional player coaching staff to include: Matt Reis, Avery John, Khano Smith, Kevin Alston, and Leslie Osborne. All of these players will be working at programs throughout the summer.
Staff
The staff to player ratio at all programs will be no greater than 10:1. In addition to Shalrie, the other coaches all possess a comprehensive knowledge of the game. Our experienced staff includes other current/former professional players, along with local college and high school coaches. Please email for a more comprehensive description of the coaches for certain programs.
Team Discounts
For team’s registering six or more players, all players will receive a $15 discount. For team discounts all players must submit sign-ups together via mail. Please contact us with questions or for further details. *Offer only available for sign-ups through PSA, not if program registration goes through a recreation department.
Sibling Discounts
For households registering multiple siblings, there will be a $10 discount per player. *Offer only available for sign-ups through PSA, not if program registration goes through a recreation department. Please contact us with questions or for further details.
Inclement Weather
In the case of rain, the Academy will continue at the discretion of the head coach. If there is heavy rain, and/or inclement weather (hail, thunder/lightning, extreme heat, high winds) the Academy will be stopped and all players/coaches will seek cover. Some sites have onsite indoor facilities; other sites will have indoor facilities in the surrounding area. If indoor space is available, it will be utilized. If there is no indoor facility, we will make every possible effort to make up lost time (either by starting earlier or ending later on a subsequent day, adding additional days, or allowing missed days to be made up at a program later in the summer).
Refund Policy
Due to staffing and facility costs there is a no refund policy, with the exception of a medical problem. If you need to cancel, an account credit will be issued that can be applied towards any future program.
