San Antonio FC has expanded its Elite Training Program (ETP) to include the 2000-2003 boys birth year age groups, the club announced today. The club will continue offering ETP for the 2005 and 2006 boys birth year age groups which were established this Fall. The ETP program is a key component of the overall SAFC Pro Academy umbrella, and is designed to be another collaborative effort between San Antonio FC and all greater San Antonio area youth soccer clubs.

The ETP provides additional technical programming for players while they remain with their current clubs. For boys born in 2005 and 2006, the ETP will serve as an identification and development program for future SAFC Pro Academy teams at these age groups. For boys born in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003, the ETP will serve as a college showcase platform with multiple college coaches attending and observing training sessions over the course of the year. In addition, players from the ETP will have the opportunity to represent San Antonio FC when it hosts the USL Experience (USLX) in early April 2017.

All ID events and training sessions will be held at the STAR Soccer complex and be run by the San Antonio FC & SAFC Pro Academy technical staff.
