2024 Girls Accelerator: FAQs
Why should I choose this event over so many other clinics?
The 2024 SIG High School Accelerator is unlike any other soccer training event in the world. The coaches on our staff have experience at the highest levels of professional soccer in the U.S. and Europe. Only this clinic offers a super-low ratio of 12 coaches to 50 players and provides each player a personal evaluation from the pro coaches. Only this clinic includes an optional 6 months of continuing virtual education and personalized instruction in key areas like sports financial literacy, biohacking for advantage, and set-piece strategy.

Apply today by clicking here. The cost is $2,500 and partial scholarships are available for those who need them.
Am I guaranteed a tryout with a professional club after the event?
We can’t say for sure that any participant will get a tryout with any particular club or team. We can guarantee, however, that you will be trained by some of the best coaches in the world, and that if you show well and they have a need with their team or club, the possibilities are endless.
What should I bring?
You will be provided with a new kit and ball from our sponsor, Puma, that you should plan to wear on Saturday and Sunday. On Friday, wear any solid-color short and t-shirt. Turf cleats and shin guards are required. Bring a full water bottle. Phones will be left in your kit bag except during breaks. The fields we will be training on are a rubberized sports turf field.
Can goalkeepers attend?
Yes! We will enroll only 10 keepers, to be trained by one of the world’s all-time greats, Brad Friedel. Other pro goalies will also be on hand to train with our enrolled players. Keepers will receive a new Puma goalkeepers’ kit, ball, and gloves.
How will training groups be arranged?
Training groups and small-sided teams will mostly be arranged according by position. Groups will be balanced with defending and attacking players to ensure competitive play and competition throughout.
Will I be with the same coach the entire time?
No. Each participant will be trained by every coach on the staff, other than goalkeepers, who will be trained mostly by their specialized coaches. One of our main objectives is to give each player access to evaluation and instruction by as many of our coaches as possible. Coaches will know your name by the end of the event.
Will medical care be available?
Professional medical staff will be on hand at all times, with a defibrillator available. The medical information provided about a participant will be on-hand and available to those professionals at all times. Our procedure is to contact parents/guardians immediately in the event any medical care is indicated. Even if we can’t immediately reach a parent/guardian, we will have obtained your prior permission to authorize any necessary, emergency medical care.
What if a parent/guardian needs to contact a participant?
Each player’s parent or guardian will be provided with multiple contact numbers for our administrative staff.
Can dietary restrictions be accommodated?
Yes, as long as we know about them by October 1, 2024. We cannot guarantee accommodations for players with life-threatening food allergies, which must be disclosed in required paperwork.
Can you help my son/daughter with their medications?
No, we cannot store, handle or dispense any medication.
