Academy

Tryouts

Players who want to be considered for the U16 and U18 San Jose Earthquakes academy for 2011-2012 need to submit a player inventory and fill out the online form.  Players will also need to provide a letter of reference from a Director of coaching in their current youth club to state their ability to participate at the top youth level in the United States.  Once we have this information, the San Jose academy staff will have to see players in a club game to consider the player for training with the academy program.

All further tryouts must be arranged by appointment. In order to be considered for the Earthquakes Youth Academy, players must download this PDF, fill it out and return it to: fwilson@sjearthquakes.com. Please make sure you have faxed or emailed the posted form to be considered.
