Sting East Texas proudly presents the Emerging Talent Academy (ETA)!

The Emerging Talent Academy is an exclusive Sting program designed to provide players with supplemental training that sharpens technical skills, tactical understanding, and overall game awareness. Created by our ETA committee, this program serves as a powerful extension of the Sting Soccer Club curriculum—pushing players to reach new heights in their development journey.

ETA places a strong emphasis on individual player development, with a curriculum centered around three core principles:

1. Repetition – Players get maximum reps with the technical focus of the day. For example, if the focus is on shooting, we ensure each player takes a high volume of quality shots throughout the session.

2. Expert Instruction – Our experienced coaching staff provides detailed, actionable feedback to help players elevate their execution and soccer IQ.

3. Inspiration – We create a positive, high-energy environment that motivates players to fall in love with the game and continue working on their skills beyond training.

With offerings throughout the year—from 3-day camps to multi-week programs—ETA is perfect for players who are serious about improvement and passionate about the game.

This program is designed for players who:

▪️ Are in an age group we don’t currently have a full team or coach for

▪️ May need a little extra development before joining a competitive roster

▪️ Aren’t quite ready to commit to travel for league play, but still want to train like a Sting athlete

💪 ETA athletes will train twice a week (Tuesdays & Thursdays) and will have the option to participate in all Sting activities including tournaments, special events, and club challenges. While they won’t compete in weekly league games, they may enter tournaments or even extra leagues that may become available during off season

🔹 They’ll receive a Sting practice uniform with a numbered jersey that can double as a tournament kit!
