Earthquakes U.S. Developmental Academy
2010-2011 Structure & Overview:
Purpose: The San Jose Earthquakes U16 and U18 development teams will serve as youth development for the professional environment. Players selected for the program will be selected based on their ability as players to develop in a current environment while looking to find players that can join and stay as a part of the San Jose Earthquakes professionally in later years. This will become the spring board for a much broader youth development program all the way to the U8 level administered to Northern California as a whole through the San Jose Earthquakes youth development model and academy program. Following is a breakdown of the U16 and U18 Development Academy
U18 Boys
1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995 birthdates will be considered for the U18 team depending on a player's ability
U16 Boys

U14 Boys
1996 and 1997 players. These will be set up with training pools around Northern California at various clubs and in various regions of Northern California to act as a development system for young players that will eventually be considered for inclusion into the U16 and U18 teams
