In line with many of the world’s elite clubs, Lexington Soccer Academy introduced a new player model for use in player selection for all Lexington Soccer Academy teams. Using the acronym P.A.C.E, this model reflects the key player qualities that Lexington Soccer Academy looks for in all its players regardless of their age.

Creativity
• We want players to be technically excellent and have the confidence to take risks in difficult situations.
• In order to compete at the highest levels; players must be able to solve problems in pressure situations.

Confidence (For Goalkeepers)
• We want our Goalkeepers to develop a positive presence on the field that is conveyed to the entire team.
• We are looking for Goalkeepers who believe in themselves and who are not afraid to make mistakes.

Excellence
• The underlying motivation for the Lexington Soccer Academy model is that all our players will push themselves to excel in everything that they do on and off the field.
• We want to create an environment where players are constantly challenged and are pushed to reach their full potential.

Players must be able to perform technically and tactically at speed in order to be successful. To achieve this, our players need to develop physically and increase their speed of thought on the field. This will develop intelligent players who can solve problems quickly on the soccer field. This is the backbone of what Lexington Soccer Academy looks for in players who are interested in joining the club at either the Junior Academy, or Select level. The Lexington Soccer Academy coaching staff is committed to promoting and developing these qualities in all our current players as well as players who will join us in the future.
