2024 – Spring Technical Training Academy – Cranberry TWP
We are pleased to announce the opening of our 2024 Spring Technical Training Academy that will take place at the Diesel Sports Complex in Cranberry TWP. After a highly successful Winter in which we worked with over 400 young players, we are excited to open up another site for our comprehensive Spring session.
Each player that takes part in the 6 week program will improve technically on the soccer ball. We are confident that all players will improve comfort levels on the ball and will be a more confident technical player at the conclusion of the program. Our training sessions will be high tempo and players will leave each session feeling challenged. The technical staff will be led by our current RDA (Riverhounds Development Academy) coaches. Our RDA coaches have a wealth of experience in nurturing young players and have a proven track record of developing players. In addition we will also integrate our Pittsburgh Riverhounds professional players into the sessions which will be a great experience for the players.
