Black Watch Premier Information

Black Watch Premier's mission is to develop a youth soccer player strong and resilient in character, technically and tactically proficient, and physically able to meet the demands of the modern game of football through a soccer environment that is rich with technical and professional instructors and mentors, highly motivated youth players, supportive families, routine and rigorous training, and competitive contests. The Blackwatch Premier membership includes numerous players who have achieved their goal of playing at the next level. Seven of the Club's members have participated in the US Soccer National Team Program and the majority of members have gone on to play college-level soccer. The Club has graduated over of 250 athletes, both boys and girls, and nearly 230 of them have gone on to play collegiately. Of those graduates, 60 of them played at the NCAA Division I level. In addition, in the past 13 years, Black Watch Premier graduates have garnered significant athletic aid toward their higher education. For many graduates, their Black Watch Premier experience created college educational opportunities that their academic record would not have allowed. The growth and development of these players is supported by the Club's technical staff, which is comprised of professional staff coaches, who are former professional players; National Staff members; collegiate coaches; and nationally-licensed youth coaches. The Black Watch Premier technical staff provides the necessary environment for players to be tested, pushed, assessed, trained, and re-tested over and over again in a variety of environments. The Club is also one of only 32 teams nationwide that are sponsored by Nike and our affiliation has provided our players with the best gear and equipment available. Over the course of 17 years of operation, the Club has developed programming for youth of both genders, ages 6-23 years old. This programming is fluid and ever-changing, allowing the Club to meet the demands of the modern game of football. Through on-going professional development and daily experience in the soccer landscape, the entirety of the technical staff is constantly evaluating Club practices to best enhance the overall training as well as match environments. Driving all of these efforts is a commitment to the Black Watch Premier core principles: Competence, courage and character. As they grow and develop through our program, our players are given every opportunity to maximize their potential in a vibrant and supportive club environment.
