North Shore Soccer Academy

ABOUT us

​

North Shore Soccer Academy was founded in 2016 as an intentionally small soccer club offering professional coaching to boys and girls. NSSA teams practice year-round at Tower School in Marblehead, Brookwood School in Manchester and Shore Country Day School in Beverly--all of which offer excellent accommodations and field conditions. As a club, we play competitively in the Northeast Soccer League.

OUR MISSION

We believe that the development of foundational soccer skills as young athletes is crucial for further education. As coaches, we are dedicated to creating exceptional experiences for our players and parents.
