Welcome to McBride’s Attacking Soccer Academy, where we are committed to developing the next generation of elite soccer players. Founded by former U.S. Men’s National Team captain and Premier League striker Brian McBride, our academy is driven by a passion for excellence and a commitment to nurturing attacking talent. With a foundation built on Brian McBride’s 17-year professional career, our training philosophy bridges the gap between American and European methodologies, focusing on precision, creativity, and confidence in the attacking third. Our curriculum emphasizes five core areas essential for attacking players:

1. Thought Processing at Pace: Players develop quick decision-making skills and accuracy under pressure.
2. Dynamic Movement: Training enhances agile, purposeful off-the-ball runs to create scoring opportunities.
3. Technical Proficiency: Players refine ball control, dribbling, and passing skills crucial for attackers.
4. Heading Techniques: Mastery of offensive and defensive heading both inside and outside the box.
5. Pure Shooting: Players gain confidence and consistency in finishing through targeted drills.

In today’s soccer the little details are what can change things for you and your team. Having a deeper understanding of what run the athlete should make, proper footwork and body shape will help each player to reach their full potential. The training will incorporate an abundance of shooting inside the penalty area, crossing, and adjustments to runs will help each individual understand his or her roles in each position.
