Unlike other soccer clubs in the Houston area, ZSA Competitive Program does not require a year-round commitment. It encourages your athlete to play multiple sports and other enrichment activities, such as academic excellence, music, and other interests. A multi-sport player and well-rounded individual will learn to manage their time more effectively and prioritize what is most important.

The ZSA Competitive Program is designed for players who want to compete at a high level and play against other Houston-area soccer teams. ZSA competitive teams (U11-U14) will compete in the Texas Youth Super Liga (TYSL) and HTX.  ZSA decided to compete in these leagues for two reasons: 1) Location and Fields; and 2) Friendly Competition. Both leagues encourage sportsmanship and are strict on the types of teams and clubs that play. All games are on Saturdays.

ZSA Coaches will work on both individual and team skills utilizing the Pass and Move approach of Coach Ziad Allan. Pass and Move is a soccer philosophy centered on the skills an individual and a team need to maintain possession. Pass and Move focuses on how you think and what you do with the ball, and how you think and move without it.

ZSA designs its competitive program differently from other clubs. Instead of practicing with just one team, a ZSA player practices within an age group with various players from other ZSA teams, developing the ability to play with others while making more friends and connections. ZSA also rotates its coaches to ensure that the player receives instruction, training, and evaluation from multiple perspectives.

The ZSA Competitive Programs start at U11 for both Boys and Girls.

ZSA U11-U14 Competitive Program:

ZSA competes in TYSL and HTX, starting at U11 through U15, and requires more travel as games are throughout the Houston area and are no longer at a local level.
