The St. James FC Virginia celebrates 26 seniors moving on to play college soccer

The St. James FC Virginia, an elite youth soccer program geared towards girls and boys U-9 through U-19, has announced that 26 of their student-athletes will be going on to play college soccer in Fall 2020.

Like many clubs around the country, TSJ FC Virginia has been honoring its graduates virtually, in order to maintain social distancing guidelines. As players faced the negative effects of COVID-19 lockdowns at home, especially for those who have dedicated themselves to the sport, TSJ FC Virginia worked to ensure that their players would not succumb to the challenges of quarantine.

Emphasizing the well-being of players, TSJ FC Virginia teams were able to keep up with online tools to complete assigned workouts, time trials, game scenario questionnaires via SportsLab360, tactics analysis programs on YouTube, and other activities that brought a sense of community off the field.

In addition to at-home programming, TSJ FC Virginia players were able to interact with college scouts through the efforts of the coaches, who developed a virtual scouting program.

Girls Academy Director Bobby Puppione stated: “This class not only represents talented players on the field, but first class women and men off the field; and we are looking forward to following their journey at the next level.” With places secured at the University of Virginia, College of William and Mary, Virginia Tech, Duke and Wake Forest, TSJ FC Virginia is proud to be developing athletes that are able to face adversity head on.”
