What's Happening In And Around Stars Academy

Your Stars Academy Player Of The Month
Kallie Sapienza scored 5 goals, recorded 2 assists this month, and led her team with over a third of all goal contributions this season. Kallie and the 2014 Girls Red finished their league campaign with just one loss, securing a second-place finish in their second-ever attempt in the league. Kallie's development this season has been impressive and is in huge part due to her commitment and determination. Keep it up, Kallie!
"Kallie has always scored goals, but this season she’s added more assists to her game as well. The biggest growth I've seen for her this season is her being a leader and her tireless work rate in this past month. She’s vocal, she pushes her teammates, and is encouraging them on and off the field."
- Coach Conner
Congratulations, Kallie Sapienza!

A Look Back At Trials Week
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in Trials Week. It was incredible to see how much growth and development our players have shown over the past year.
As we look ahead to the fall season, we want to lay out our approach to trials, team placements, and the Academy as a whole: Our number one goal is development. That means placing each player where they’ll grow most — both in their development as a soccer player and in their love for the game.
We’re excited for the final two weeks of our season and looking forward to our Academy-wide tournament in Tallahassee this weekend!

Spring Season Recap
Our GCF season wrapped up two weeks ago — and we’re proud to say that every single one of our teams had their most successful league campaign yet, in just our second competitive season ever.
2016 Boys White
\In their first ever competitive season, this group finished with a winning record and tons of momentum heading into the fall.
2016 Boys Black
Took on the Gold Division for the first time and finished with just two losses!
2016 Boys Red
Wrapped up the season with six wins and only one loss in the Gold Division!
2015 Boys Black
Found the back of the net 23 times — their most ever in a season — and showed serious growth across the board.
2015 Boys Red
Ran the table. Undefeated season. Gold Division champs. Enough said.
2014 Girls Red
One loss all season and a second-place finish. Big things ahead for this group.
2014 Boys Red
Matched the girls with one loss and a second-place finish — a strong campaign in their first season in this division after earning promotion last season.
2013 Red
In their first season together, this team posted the fourth-best defensive record in the league. A strong foundation to build on!
It was a fantastic second GCF campaign — but more important than the results was the development of every single player. Across all age groups, we saw our Stars Academy teams truly begin to embrace our identity and style of play — and we can’t wait to keep building on that throughout the rest of the year.

The Best Soccer Family!
Community Day was amazing!
Despite the rain, the turnout was amazing — and we can’t thank you enough for that.
We had nearly 200 family members, friends, and athletes join us for a day full of fun. The parent vs. kid games were the most competitive they’ve ever been; let’s just say, some of the parents are still recovering. 😅
We’re truly grateful for the community you’ve helped build. Stars Academy and this soccer community wouldn’t be what it is without all of you!
