Athens United has been developing youth soccer talent for over 20 years. Located out of Athens, GA, this club is four tiered in nature, offering developmental programs for boys and girls U5-U12, boys and girls academy programs are available for ages U9-U12. Athens United has select programs for guys and girls from U13 ” U17 and also a college experience program at the U16 ” U19 levels.

The developmental program is geared primarily towards providing youth with a fun and laid back environment to learn the game. Academy programs are for accelerated development and intended for youths who are looking to play the game at a higher level. The select level is a continuation of the academy program and designed to challenge players and push them to compete at their highest ability level.

The Athens United program hosts two tournaments annually to showcase their talent and also help out in the community, by tying their tournament to a community charity.

Athens United has had eleven club members named to the Olympic Developmental Program in the last few years and one player named to the U14 USSF National Team Pool. Other recent program successes include eleven players from the class of 2011 signing letters of intent to play at the collegiate level.

Athens United-s European development approach and dedicated coaches makes this a club to watch at every tournament they enter.
