Lightning Academy
Program Overview
Lightning Academy, formerly the Advantage Program, uses the pool training concept to ensure your player is consistently in a high quality training environment. Pool training shifts the focus away from team development and prioritizes individual player development. During pool sessions, academy players will be grouped together with players who have similar skill levels with the understanding that players develop at different stages. Increased competition, an improved training environment, and accelerated player development are all by-products of the pool training.
What to Wear – All players should appropriate athlete wear, shin guards, and cleats to each session. Returning Academy participants can wear their previous LSC gear, provided that it still fits. Everyone that has registered 30 days prior to the start of the Academy will receive their shirt at the second week of the Lightning Academy Program.
What to Bring–All players should bring a labeled water bottle to each session. LSC will provide a ball at training.
Lightning Academy Training Kit – Each kit includes a training jersey, a pair of shorts, and a pair of soccer socks. LSC pre-orders Academy training kits from our supplier, so that you do not have to order them online. Lightning Spirit Wear items (LSC sweat pants, training jackets, hats, etc.) can be ordered online from the Lightning Store.
Please see the our LSC Refund Policy, which applies to the Lightning Academy Program.
