Our Story

I spent the first part of my life in Arizona, where soccer opportunities were abundant. From competitive clubs to specialized training and exposure to scouts, players had clear pathways to advance their skills and careers. When I moved to Idaho at 16, I quickly recognized the difference. While the passion for the game was just as strong, the same level of opportunity simply wasn’t available to young athletes here.

This realization became the foundation for Idaho soccer elite. Our academy was created to bridge that gap by providing professional, structured training that builds not only technical ability but also confidence, discipline, and resilience. We are committed to ensuring that every player in Eastern Idaho has access to the type of development that can prepare them for the next level — whether that’s excelling on their school or club team, earning a spot in showcase events, or pursuing opportunities at the collegiate level.

Soccer is more than a sport; it is a platform for growth. Through the game, players learn leadership, teamwork, focus, and perseverance — qualities that carry far beyond the field and into every area of life.

Looking ahead, our vision is to expand opportunities even further by bringing college scouts and showcase events directly to Idaho. Too often, families are forced to spend significant time and money traveling just so their players can be seen. We believe that talent deserves to be recognized regardless of financial limitations, and our mission is to create those pathways here at home.

At Idaho Soccer Elite, we are dedicated to unlocking potential — helping athletes dream big, work hard, and succeed both on and off the field.

What Makes Elevate Soccer Academy Different

At Idaho Soccer Elite, we go beyond simple drills and fitness. Our unique value lies in combining real playing experience, a structured development pathway, and personalized coaching for every age group. Unlike generic personal training or recreational programs, we focus on preparing players for the specific demands of competitive soccer — technically, tactically, physically, and mentally.

What sets us apart:

  • Semi-Pro Experience – Players learn from someone who has competed at a higher level and understands what it takes to advance.

  • Age-Specific Training – Sessions are tailored to the developmental needs of 6–10, 11–15, and 16–18-year-olds, ensuring steady progress.

  • Pathway to Opportunities – Beyond improving skills, our goal is to prepare athletes for tryouts, showcases, and ultimately, college-level opportunities.

  • Holistic Development – Soccer is used as a tool to teach discipline, confidence, teamwork, and resilience — traits that benefit athletes both on and off the field.

  • Accessible Training – We believe financial barriers shouldn’t stop talent. Our pricing and future plans for local scouting events aim to make high-level training more accessible to Idaho families.

 In short: We’re not just training players to play the game — we’re helping them think the game, grow as individuals, and open doors to their future.
