Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel continues to give back to young people in America with his Premier Soccer Academies. Located in Lorain, Ohio, Brad Friedel's Premier Soccer Academies, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, is the first of its kind soccer academy offering training scholarships to athletes in an effort to develop the next generation of professional soccer players.

Premier Soccer Academies have just announced four more camps for 2009 that are available for all ages as well as hosting the World Youth Tournament in August.

Training and tournament programs are available for all ages and skill levels. Players selected for the U16 and U18 Academy League Teams are chosen on ability and skill level, not the parents' ability to pay.

Additional athletic, academic, and health/nutrition programs, along with an assortment of different level coaching clinics and in-house programs, are offered throughout the year, targeting all ages and skill levels. Facilities are state-of-the-art and include three-and-a-half soccer fields, indoor fieldhouse, 5,000-square-foot workout facility and a housing and academic learning center.
