90 Lady Impact Player, Martha Hall, Enrolls in the IMG Soccer Academy
Starting in the coming school year, Martha Hall of the 90 Impact will
attend the IMG Soccer Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
An A/AA All-State forward with Knoxville Catholic High as a sophomore,
Martha is entering her junior year.
A Region III ODP team player, she made the 90 National Team Camp in

The IMG Soccer Academy is the United States Soccer Federation's (USSF)
full-time residency program. Started in 1999, it has become integral in
developing the United State's top youth soccer prospects. The residency
program gives elite players the opportunity to train in a professional
environment as MLS does not have a youth academy system currently in
place.
The IMG Soccer Academy is part of the IMG Academies located in
Bradenton, Florida. A typical day for the student/athelete at Bradenton
is classes in the morning followed by athletic training in the
afternoon. Students at the academy take accelerated courses and graduate
high school a year early, making the players who do not turn pro
immediately some of the most heavily recruited prospects in college
soccer.
The academy can trace its roots back to Project 2010 which highlighted
ways the USSF could make the men's national team a legitimate threat to
win the World Cup by the end of the decade. Two programs that were born
from Project 2010 were Generation adidas (previously called Project-40)
and the Bradenton academy. The academy was started in January of 1999
with backing of International Management Group (IMG) and Nike. |
