What Makes BSA Different?
There is no program in the region that is like BSA or have a more proven track record of player development. BSA offers a unique academy training style that focuses on players developing under the guidance of multiple trainers using core development curriculum. In an academy, session players are exposed to challenge drills that test the skills being taught under match like conditions. This style allows for the proper progression of the technical skill development and the placement of the skill in actual game conditions.
The Blake Soccer Academy is a soccer school, which all BSA coaches and trainers closely follow the same successful BSA player development program. We have designed this player development program from various educational sources to include US Youth Soccer, USSF, NSCAA, UEFA and various youth academies. This blended and customized program is very progressive and constantly evolving. BSA is independent and not affiliated with any local soccer associations, thus making our services available to any interested player. The independence of BSA allows the training to be unbiased and geared towards total player development and not team advancement.
We at BSA, like many other clubs, strive to keep the training fees low as possible, so that this unique soccer opportunity is affordable for all. Therefore, BSA offers scholarships to players with financial need. BSA works actively to raise funds for scholarships primarily through sponsorships and partnerships.
History
After coaching youth soccer in Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia, Blake Soccer Academy Founder and Director Billy Blake, decided to expand their services to northeastern Ohio. We have already conducted the Ohio Blast Summer Camp soccer camps for the past 7 years in northeastern Ohio. The success of the soccer camps and continued interest from players and their families led him to create the Blake Soccer Academy here in Ohio. The academy is modeled after soccer schools in Europe. Thus, the Blake Soccer Academy (OH) was born in 2008.

This is open to all players regardless of skill level. The Academy training is designed based on US & UK age group training curriculums. We focus on individual technical skill development with basic tactical understanding.
Tier II, Academy Pride Team Membership
This is the next progression, where players enter into our 360o Training program as members of the Pride teams. The Pride Team members participate in year-long advance academy style training in addition to competitive match play such as winter indoor soccer leagues, futsal, and regional competitive tournaments. The Pride members participate in academy training, team training, invitation scrimmages, league play and tournaments. Pride members are selected during competitive tryouts every June and remain on the team’s roster until the following June.
FAQ: What are Academy Teams?

Tier III, Premiere Academy
This is the elite division of BSA, where Pride teams from Tier II have progressed in their team and individual skill level to an elite competition level. This tier is composed of Pride members that have proven success at Tier II (competitive). Once a Pride member or team reach Tier III they will participate in elite and premiere tournament play both in Ohio (i.e. State League and State Cup) and nationally.
