Our Premier program includes boys teams from U13-U18. The Premier path allows players to continue to develop their soccer skills while playing in a competitive league (NEP) and competing in MA State Cup. The players will be put in the most professional and competitive environment available as they continue to develop and prepare for the college game.

For those players and families who cannot commit to the time and travel requirements of the Pre-Academy and Development Academy, we provide this option to pursue the Premier path. In some cases, our Premier players may be called up to play on our Academy teams. Younger teams compete in the New England Premiership League in the fall and spring while the older teams play in top Showcase tournaments after their high school seasons conclude in the NEP spring league.

Teams practice twice per week and play one or two games on weekends. Practices are held in Newton and at Harvard in Cambridge. In addition to practices and games, these teams may play in up to three tournaments per year. The Premier teams will have the Bolts coaching staff to guide them through the college search process.

By playing a full NEP schedule, participating in MA State Cup as well as attending several of the top recruiting tournaments in the country, players will showcase themselves to college coaches everywhere. Recently our Premier teams attended the Disney Showcase, PDA Thanksgiving Showcase, Jefferson Cup and Potomac Showcase tournaments.

Club fees for 2011-12 seasons are $2600 per player which includes the home and away uniform kits, a Bolts bag, warm-ups, sox, and training gear. Any questions about our Premier teams, please contact Gabe Margolis.
