Menace Academy Overview
 

Academy Player Development:  Beginning at the age of 10, players are eligible to tryout for the Menace Academy which consists of boys and girls teams formed at age levels U11-U12, U13-U14, U15-U16 and U17-U18.  Academy members will develop by learning skills and strategies at age-appropriate levels. Youth will be exposed to the very best coaching and training on a consistent basis as they grow and mature. 

Coaching:
  Each team is provided with a USSF licensed soccer coach.  We offer the highest level of training with no parent coaches. 

Academy Expenses:
  Fees and costs to play for the Des Moines Menace are comparable to other select programs in the metro area.  The cost ranges from about $900 at the younger age groups to $1200 at the older age groups.  This annual cost covers a full-year of soccer, including speed and agility training in the winter months.  Not included in this amount is the cost of uniforms, travel, and tournament expenses which can vary per team.  As a non-profit organization we do our best to keep costs minimal and believe the long term result will be worth the expense. 



 
U9/U10 Development Program

The Des Moines Menace partners with Soccer West and Dallas-Center Grimes Soccer Clubs to provide professional coaching in their U9/U10 Academy Programs.  The U9/U10 Academy Program is designed to provide a more structured playing environment and direction under professionally-licensed coaches.  Please visit our recreational club partner links below for more information and to register for this program.
