What is the Player Pathway Program?

The Player Pathway Program (PPP) is an invite-only, club-neutral supplemental training program for identified talented players to practice under the Philadelphia Union player development methodology and principles.

Who is the PPP for?

The Player Pathway Program is for dedicated travel players U8 - U14. These athletes seek high-quality, supplemental training and competition that complements their existing club training schedule.

PPP Pathway

What is the "Pathway" in the Player Pathway Program?

The Philadelphia Union is dedicated to developing young talent into the best versions of themselves on and off the field. Our dedicated pathway is here to help those players thrive in the right environment.

We want to prepare our players for any path that fits their needs and development, whether for their club environment, our academy, high school, college, semi-pro, etc. As players develop, so will their exposure to high-performance environments within our program.

PPP Methodology

All training is grounded in the Philadelphia Union’s methodology and core principles. Every term, concept, and session reflects what the Union values and applies in its success.

Exercises are designed to challenge players’ perspectives on the game, introducing complex and thought-provoking ideas aligned with our methodology.

Each session integrates Technical, Tactical, Physical, and Mental components to support well-rounded development.

PPP Selection

What is the selection process?

Every player must be identified or recommended through Philadelphia Union Youth programs or our Open ID Events. Selected players will be invited to join the PPP and placed into their age group Training Pool.

Training pools are designed to be adaptable to the players’ individual needs, allowing movement within groups throughout the year to maximize their growth and to challenge their development.
