WHEN DOES THIS START?
The Pitch Residency begins August 12, 2026.
IS THIS JUST A PROGRAM WITH MORE DRILLS?
No. The Pitch Residency takes a holistic approach to development – not just drills. We will also incorporate studying game film, mental performance training, strength and conditioning, nutrition education, and other tools that build the complete player.
DOES THIS REPLACE CLUB SOCCER?
No – this is a program designed to supplement club play.
CAN MY HIGH SCHOOLER PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROGRAM AND STILL PLAY SOCCER FOR HIS LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL?
Absolutely. Your child can participate in The Residency and still play for their local high school.
DOES MY CHILD NEED THIS MUCH SOCCER?
Yes and no. Depends on your player. Around major cities in the US, and in ALL soccer countries, combining soccer and school is reserved for players hand-picked by professional clubs. It is a a dream come true for most kids in these places to be in an environment like that. We are offering something similar in the Treasure Valley for those dreamers here. If that is your player, this is definitely the program for them.
WHY GEM PREP?
Their online program is Idaho’s premier virtual school with academic results that rank far above all other virtual schools with accredited classes and NCAA approved courses. You can learn more at: https://gemprep.org/learningsocieties/
WILL THERE BE A CLASSROOM?
Yes. At The Pitch we have an entire section upstairs of office space that will become classroom space for our Residency program. The space has both AC and heat. Your child will have their own desk and receive other materials needed for their education including a laptop provided on loan from Gem Prep.
WILL THERE BE A TEACHER ONSITE?
Yes. Gem Prep will provide a teacher to oversee your child’s online education and provide instruction and tutoring when needed.
IS THIS YEAR-ROUND?
No. The Pitch Residency will follow the academic calendar of local school districts. However, we will offer several summer soccer training options so players don’t lose the residency “feel.”
WHAT IF I STILL HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?
