Nashville United Soccer Academy (NUSA) is a competitive youth soccer organization established in 2015, focusing on the personal growth and development of its players. NUSA operates with the mission of making competitive soccer more affordable and accessible, regardless of a player's socioeconomic background. They offer financial aid or scholarships to many players and have a strong focus on community outreach.
The academy implements an academy training system, not strictly based on age, but also considering the individual abilities and development of each player. This approach allows players to be placed in environments where they are both challenged and can achieve success, supporting their long-term growth and development in soccer.
NUSA's training model prioritizes long-term individual player development over short-term game results. This includes adopting a "Whole-Part-Whole" method in their training sessions, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the game's principles and phases of play. The academy emphasizes training over gameplay to avoid player burnout and excessive costs for families. For younger players (U12 and below), the focus is on local play, while older teams (U13 and above) may participate in regional and national[1] level competitions and showcases.
Moreover, since its inception, NUSA has made significant strides in youth soccer, with many of its players receiving soccer-based scholarships to colleges[2][3] and universities[4][5], signing with professional clubs[6], and even playing for youth national teams.
NUSA operates in various locations, including Brentwood, Spring Hill, Donelson, and Antioch, offering a range of soccer programs to cater to different age groups and skill levels. The organization's dedicated approach to nurturing young talent in soccer while emphasizing character development has made it a notable institution in the Middle Tennessee soccer community.
