The UPSL Youth Academy operates as a promotion-relegation league with a focus on player development and will include top-level clubs in the region.
Beginning in the upcoming fall season, ODFC Cesena USA will field a UPSL Academy team in the 2013/14 boys age group. The UPSL Academy presents competitive regional and national fixtures, serving as valuable recruitment platforms for professional clubs and collegiate programs. ODFC Cesena USA will participate in the UPSL Academy DMV Conference. Tryouts for our ODFC Cesena UPSL Academy teams will be held each fall and late winter/spring season with the following division structures; U17 (2009 & 2010), U15 (2011 & 2012), U13 (2013 & 2014).
The fall season takes place from September to November, followed by playoffs in December and January. The spring season will run either March-June or May-June for different divisions, with playoffs scheduled for June-July.
The UPSL Academy program is designed to complement existing club teams that compete in other sanctioned state and regional leagues, offering an enhanced level of competition and showcase opportunities.
