Position Academy

The Akron Position Academy is designed for elite level players that are looking for position specific training, geared towards what Coach Embick and his staff look for in their players to play The Akron Way. Working with the Akron staff and players, as well as some select college coaches, players attending the Akron Position Academy will experience intense training sessions, off-field video and chalkboard sessions, and small and full sided games.
 

*Space is very limited per position, which must be selected at the time of registration. Please select between DEFENDER, MIDFIELDER, FORWARD, or GOALKEEPER.

Meals
Players will be provided lunch on campus after the first morning session. For those with food allergies, please note that on your registration, and medical staff will confirm with you at check in as well. Dinner will not be provided, however, there are a large number of restaurants within a short walking distance, or you can pack a small meal and bring it with you for between sessions later in the day.
