THE FOX SOCCER ACADEMY VISION
Fox Soccer Academy was started in 2014 by current English Premier League player, Christian Fuchs.
Christian has played over 500 professional games across the Austrian and German Bundesliga, Premier League, Champions League and Europa League spanning over 17 seasons. He also captained and played 78 games for the Austrian National Team, which include UEFA EUROS and FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
Christian created Fox Soccer Academy to provide youth soccer players the opportunity to develop their game through a world class Premier League Curriculum with UEFA/USSF licensed coaches. The idea came from his own experience at the youth level, after being rejected by Austrian academies himself. He decided to do additional training to help him achieve his dream of playing professionally in the top fight.
His dedication to these extra trainings is what helped him achieve his dream. In 2016, he won the English Premier League with Leicester City FC, as the starting left-back. Christian wants to help the next generation of players reach for their goals by offering supplemental training.
FSA offers advanced soccer players the opportunity to develop their game year round. The program is for boys and girls, ages 3 to 20. It is intended solely for competitive and elite travel level soccer players, as our Premier League Curriculum is specifically designed to teach players the European method.

WHERE SOCCER MEETS SPORTS SCIENCE
At FSA we are keen on implementing our own proprietary sports science research that uses the testing perimeters as used in European top academies.
FSA will implement this scientific research and, through our proprietary methodology, implement all our sports science research findings into our daily training. All of our players, through every age group, will be periodically tested and thus earn scores that indicate their momentary levels of fitness, quickness, technique, and tactical process.
According to these attained scores and levels, all players and their families will always know where they stand. The coaching staff will also design workloads to correct deficiencies found during testing and bring all players to the acceptable levels.
FSA is the only academy in our region applying sports scientific testing methods to create better and happier soccer players within our extended soccer family.
ACADEMIC SERVICES
Together with College Station of the Hudson Valley, we are helping our players and their families prepare for college recruiting and academic achievement in two areas.

We will support you in creating a list of schools that are a good fit for student-athletes' interest and abilities (eg. choose a Division and a Sports Conference).
