Youth Academy

Summit Valley United Academy is now part of the Virginia Youth Soccer Association as we build toward Fall 2026 academy teams and expand our player pathway.

Summit Valley United and Summit Valley United Academy are proud to welcome ProForm Training as our official strength, conditioning, and agility partner, supporting player development at every level of the club.

Summit Valley United marks the next chapter in our club’s journey, expanding beyond Berryville while honoring the identity that built us. Rooted in the strength of the Shenandoah Valley and the resilience of our region, Summit Valley United brings players together under one united banner with a vision for growth, community, and competitive ambition. Berryville FC remains our foundation; Summit Valley United is our evolution.

Players love to play — and that’s fine. But there’s a difference between playing and practicing. Scrimmages test what you’ve learned; they don’t teach it. They’re the product, not the process. Players who only want to scrimmage are chasing comfort, not growth.

Coaches have an impact on players that often isn’t visible on game day. Think back: which coaches do you most remember from your youth? Probably the ones who listened, pushed you when you thought you couldn’t go on, who believed in you when you doubted yourself. Their words, their belief in you, often mattered more than the wins or losses.
