The RDA Connellsville is a year-round, full-service professional youth academy located in Connellsville, Pennsylvania. Led by Academy East Director James Meara, the RDA East program fields boys and girls teams from U-8 through U-19.
RDA Connellsville competes in the Great Lakes Alliance league, which brings another element of consistent competition for the growing program.
The year-round calendar includes twice per week training, weekly speed and strength sessions, high-level regional tournaments, an internal Professional Principles League, indoor winter league and local games.
All RDA Connellsville players have the benefit of earning opportunities with the highly successful RDA City program. These opportunities include ECNL play, id2 identification camps and U.S. National Training Centers.
The RDA Connellsville also boasts some of the best training facilities in western Pennsylvania. Our home training facility includes 11v11, 9v9 and 7v7-sized fields and a soon-to-be completed indoor facility on site. We also have another indoor facility located in nearby Scottdale, Pennsylvania.
