Player Progression Academy

Our mission is to be the most impactful and respected youth sports academy in our community.

Our Company:

The Player Progression Academy (PPA) is a premier youth sports academy, a leading club in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. PPA offers athletic programs for players aged 2 - 18 in the DC and Maryland region in basketball, soccer, and futsal. With over 3000 players and over 100 coaches, we pride ourselves on developing players between the lines, and outside them.

The Position:

Have you ever thought about coaching soccer? Becoming a youth sports coach can be a rewarding experience. By becoming a coach with PPA we'll train you to coach the PPA way; to develop players between the lines and outside them. When you're ready to start, we'll assign you teams where you'll manage your team's practices and coach their games, compete in tournaments and watch your players grow and learn to love their sport.

​

The benefit of coaching with PPA is that we have teams at all levels. So whether you come to us with lots of coaching experience or none at all, we can find a team that fits your level. We also offer flexible scheduling. This means you can tell us which weekdays your available, and we'll try to match you with teams with aligning schedules.

Our programs range from Kindergarten rec teams to elite level, nationally ranked travel teams. We also have a range of coaches on staff, from elite level professionally licensed coaches who compete at the highest levels, to recreational coaches who work with teams to inspire fun and play.
