PREPARES YOU FOR THE HIGH LEVEL
01
ABOUT PROTOUCH
Protouch Academy's main objective is to serve and care. We understand the importance of sports in a child's life and how they can positively impact their physical and mental health.
​
In the United States, only 1.4% of soccer players who participate in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) end up becoming professional soccer players. Given this small margin for success, our aim is to support boys and girls in all aspects of life. Even those who do not aspire to become professional soccer players will have the opportunity to build a successful career and become honest, characterful, and disciplined adults.
02
PURPOSE
Our purpose is to prepare players for high level (college/ professional) the sooner the players starts to prepare the better. Our team wants to be a facilitator, we will create a bridge to help players achieve their dreams.
