Advanced Academy+ (Select): Further Player Development
Academy+ Approach
Stellar Football Club's philosophy at the Select level is continues the focus on individual player development and tactical team development. This means incorporating the appropriate developmental techniques at the right developmental stages tailored to individual needs. Most importantly travel is limited in favor of more opportunity to develop players and compete locally. The select teams are competitive and strive to be their best individually and as a team.
Coaching and Training
Stellar Coaches are composed of experienced players, technical trainers and on field leaders. Our coaches are unique in the sense that all Stellar Coaches are current or former high level players, highly technical trainers and are tactical leaders.
All clubs and levels of play have coaches but not all coaches are qualified to train technical skills, manage games tactically and lead young players with confidence.
If you are evaluating clubs and notice your potential coach is not leading technical sessions, it should be a question. Technical coaches create technical players. There's no substitute. It's how we know our coaches are truly are Stellar.
Competition
At the Academy level we focus our competition internally for the majority of a season and plan to compete monthly in external tournaments. This equates to less weekly travel, more time to develop individually and more flexibility on scaling external competition as needed. We can increase or decrease competition levels regularly. This is also dependent on where our players are and how their team dynamic is developing.
This is where Stellar takes a stand to focus on the player versus the club and registration numbers.
Teams and Tournaments
Spring 2026 Approach: Teams are selected to create the most challenging competition levels and minimizing players in the sideline. Players will compete regularly in our Training + Tournaments mode. There will be limited league play and heavy emphasis on tournament play. This is another feature that differentiator and another concept Stellar is confidently pioneering.
Tournament teams are assembled monthly to provide opportunity for player competition engagement and levels.
External Friendlies and Tournaments may be planned for the Central Texas region. (Withing an hour and a half from Austin Metro Area.
