Mission, Vision, & Values
Welcome to A.C.T. Soccer Academy!
The A.C.T. Soccer Academy was created by Alan to provide a place for like-minded elite student-athletes in the Lower Mainland to become better students, athletes and human beings. Our program allows some of the top U8-U15 boys and girls to compete in a safe and positive environment. We focus on the individual aspects of soccer - technical, physical, and psychological needs of girls and boys who have dedicated themselves to becoming elite student-athletes. ACT Soccer Academy was developed by coaches who know what it takes to succeed in athletics and academics. We aim to get student-athletes to play at the highest level of soccer in British Columbia, Canada and the United States:
