While National Coaching staff recommends ratio of 1 instructor to 16 players, the Academy will

strive to maintain a ratio of 1 instructor to 12 players. This will permit each instructor to maximize

time devoted to each player

Each player must supply his/her own #3 or #4 ball and wear age appropriate shin Guards.

The field is a carpet like surface - gym shoes or turf shoes are acceptable - avoid cleats

In order to maximize space there will only be 3 groups of 12 players accepted

(If additional registrations are received, we will consider adding up to 3 groups on Wednesday nights)

The Magic Academy will accept players based on earliest submission of complete application.

Application may be e-mailed (stmsoccer@aol.com), faxed (412-835-2277), or mailed.

No applicant will be accepted until copy of birth certificate, small picture (wallet size),

and registration fee are received.

The Magic Academy is not simply a winter indoor training/league to keep players in shape - it

is a dedicated full year training program. All participants agree to continue in the spring session;

fees will not be pro-rated for participants who decide not to continue with the next session.
