Syracuse Development Academy

Congratulations to our very own Lexie Fragnito on being named the Gatorade Player of the Year!

"I am super excited to receive such a prestigious award. Thank you Gatorade!"

We are so proud of everything you've accomplished, Lexie.

This recognition is well deserved! 👏

Three SDA teams are heading to the Girls Academy Playoffs & Summer Showcase on Norco, CA!

2009 GA – Defending National Champions
2010 GA
2011 GA

Coach Brooke Barbuto:
"I am so proud of our 2011, 2010, and 2009 girls for this incredible achievement. This is an opportunity that not every player gets to experience, and they should be extremely proud of themselves and enjoy every minute of it. Their hard work, dedication, and commitment have not gone unnoticed. They have earned this opportunity through their perseverance and passion for the game, and we couldn't be happier for them. Congratulations, girls—represent yourselves, your families, and your club with pride, and make the most of this amazing experience!"

Coach Tommy Tanner:
"The success of SDA at the Girls Academy is a testament to the commitment, hard work, and resilience of our players, coaches, and families. To have multiple teams competing at the highest level in the GA playoffs reflects the strength of our club culture and player development pathway. We are proud of the way our teams represent SDA and wish them all the best of luck."

SDA Tryouts are underway — we want to see you on the field!

Good luck to all players — we can't wait to see what you've got!

Leaders aren't born — they're developed. Kaylee Lockwood walked through SDA and walked out a player AND a leader, now competing at Buffalo State and setting the standard for her entire team. That's no coincidence. At SDA, we don't just develop technical skills — we build character, accountability, and the mentality it takes to thrive at the college level.

Want your daughter to grow into that kind of player? This is what we do. This is SDA.

We’re in the thick of SDA Tryouts!

Please note that the tryout schedules and locations are occasionally updated.

The best way to know your field and time/dates is to visit the Tryout page on our website for any updates. Here’s the link:

We’re excited to see you there!!

Syracuse Development Academy is excited to welcome Vittorio Petrera to its girls coaching staff for the 2026-27 season. Vittorio’s lifetime of experience in the game from youth to professional level will bring a wealth of knowledge to our young players. After his successful playing career with the Syracuse Silver Knights and Utica City FC, Petrera’s focus is now on developing a new generation.

We’re proud to add another well known coach and member of the Syracuse soccer community to the SDA family.

We are very excited to announce the return of Micah's Mission for year 3. Our 3rd annual 3v3 soccer tournament will take place on Saturday August 8th, 2026 at CNY Family Sports Centre. It's an exciting opportunity to benefit the Toby family and the special needs of their son, Micah. Darren has been an integral part of Bourdeau's Skill School and the soccer community in CNY.

From now, until July 2nd we will be offering an EARLY BIRD discount to all that register. You will find in the registration more information on the tournament and Micah's Mission.

As most of you remember, we are looking forward to making this a fun day full of soccer, food, music and community. To register, scan the QR code or click the link below.

Can't wait to see you all there!

Thank you in advance for your support,

This past weekend at NAC, the boys and Coach Casey caught the USA game at Apex, hit mini golf, and made the most of it — because it was their last time together before the coaching switch. Grateful for everything, Coach Casey. 🙌
