Our Pre-Academy teams train three times per week in a structured, high-level environment led by qualified, experienced coaches. Players will compete in the NorCal Regional Leagues, Pre-NPL, State Cup, and select elite-level tournaments over a ten-month program.

The Napa United Pre-Academy program aims to mirror the development models of top professional academies worldwide. Through a clear, professional training pathway, the program aims to prepare players for the next levels of the game while fostering a strong passion for soccer and daily development.

Our Pre-Academy program is the pipeline for players to progress to our MLS Next & Girls Academy as they move through the age-group pathway.
