Ryan Henry founded Academies United after bringing his boys’ team to Costa Rica and seeing an instant shift – faster, more physical play against premier clubs like LD Alajuelense and Deportivo Saprissa, where soccer pulses through every street and field.
They’ve stayed connected to these powerhouses ever since, and when players and parents begged for the same chance to test their grit, Ryan knew he had to act – he partnered with local clubs, top soccer pros, and travel experts to build elite tours that deliver.
Our programs plunge competitive players, teams, clubs, and schools from North America into Costa Rica’s soccer heart – facing off against the country’s best, training with seasoned coaches, and soaking in a culture where the game is king, leaving you with sharper skills, tighter bonds, and international cred that turns heads.
It’s a seamless blend of high-performance soccer and eye-opening cultural immersion, all dialed in by a team who’s done this for years – unlocking doors to new opportunities, from college scholarships to pro tryouts or simply a deeper love for the game.
Join us to play the best, grow stronger, and walk away with a soccer story that sets you apart – because Ryan’s vision was clear: every kid with that competitive spark deserves this shot.
