7 Elite Academy’s SABA teams are preparing for a busy winter across the United States, as the College Showcase tournament season continues.

Young people who join 7 Elite Academy’s SABA teams receive weekly coaching from UEFA qualified staff and play exclusively in top-level tournaments.

The SABA curriculum is geared towards the college application process, with regular visits to universities and meetings with recruitment staff throughout the year.

Tournaments start with the 06 Boys’ visit to the Mayor’s Cup in Las Vegas later this month and all teams will play in the 7 Elite Academy International Tournament in February.

Highlights include the 04 Boys’ trip to the prestigious IMG Showcase in December, as well as the BA Cup in Mexico in January.

Wayne Scholes, Chairman of 7 Elite Academy, said: “The SABA program is proven to offer young people an unbeatable step on the ladder throughout the college application process.

“By combining world-class coaching staff with access to the very best recruiters, we are giving players the opportunity to show their full potential.

“We have worked hard to create a program of tournaments that will test the ability of SABA players, but also their personal development ahead of college.

“It is always satisfying to see young people leave 7 Elite Academy and take the next step in their education. SABA is designed to give players opportunities to do just that.”

7 Elite Academy has SABA teams in male and female age groups from 2003 to 2005, with players from across the academy regularly invited to take part.

The full calendar includes:

04 Boys

Bethesda Premier Cup, Maryland - November 18th to 21st, 2021

Raleigh Boys College Showcase, North Carolina - December 10th to 12th, 2021
