Lake Country United will join the Wisconsin Developmental Academy (WDA) for U11 - U18 boys and girls beginning with the 2012-2013 program year.

Purpose of the WDA

The WDA was formed to enhance player, team, coach and club development. The game, the players and the coaches will be the central focus of the league. This game centric approach allows for long-term player development to occur.

Principles of the WDA

The WDA program provides the optimum developmental environment for the top soccer players, coaches and clubs in the state by emphasizing development through quality training and meaningful competition. For this reason, clubs that have the appropriate structure, coaching and administrative personnel, player and team pools were invited to participate in the program.

Features of the Academy

There are a number of unique features adopted by the Academy to promote the ideals of player, coach, and club development. A number of important features include:

• no promotion or relegation of teams
• player identification
• Wisconsin College Showcase Tournament
• standards for best operational practices
• game day competition orchestrated such that all Academy U11-U18 teams at one club will compete against all Academy teams in another club
• roster flexibility 
• transitioning into the larger game 
• coaching education

More details regarding the WDA can be found by clicking here. If you have any immediate questions, you can direct them to Mike Stoy (mikestoy@lcusoccer.org).
