In June of last year, Minnesota United’s Development Academy held its first trials as it worked to build its U13 and U14 rosters for its first year of competition. A year in, much has happened already with the Development Academy, which has grown from a plan to provide a superior soccer education within a professional club environment and a pathway to pro soccer into a fully-fledged program with a bright future. Among other achievements in their first year, Academy Director Tim Carter and his still growing staff started a Pre-Development Academy for U11s and U12s, established a daily training environment that fosters player growth, and connected with directors of coaching in the community.
