Elite Soccer Academy

Elite Soccer Academy runs competitive youth soccer programming out of Lincoln Park in West Palm Beach, with practices and administrative operations based at 5444 Haverhill Road and games and additional training spread across Howard Park and South Olive Park elsewhere in the city. The academy is led by President and Director of Player Development Dusko Piljic, and it operates as an independent club rather than a franchised outpost of a larger regional soccer brand.

The program is built around a competitive travel soccer structure covering age groups from under-8 through under-18, supplemented by a pre-academy track for younger players who are not quite ready for the travel team commitment. Coaching is handled by a staff that includes USSF C-licensed instructors, and the academy points to alumni who have gone on to Inter Miami’s MLS academy pipeline as evidence of the level of play it produces, a meaningful credential in a part of Florida where youth soccer competition for talent is intense given the number of clubs operating in Palm Beach County.

Beyond the regular season travel program, Elite Soccer Academy runs summer, spring, and winter camps that give players outside the core travel roster a chance to train with the club’s coaching staff on a short-term basis, which is a common entry point for families trying out the program before committing to a full travel season. Registration for tryouts typically opens in the spring for the following season, a rhythm that mirrors most competitive youth soccer clubs in the region.

The academy’s use of three different West Palm Beach park facilities, South Olive Park, Lincoln Park, and Howard Park, reflects a common reality for club soccer programs in built-out coastal cities: field space is scarce, so clubs stitch together training and game-day locations across multiple municipal parks rather than operating out of a single dedicated campus. For parents, that means checking the specific location tied to a given practice or game rather than assuming every session happens at one address, and it is worth confirming the current park assignment before a first visit.

Elite Soccer Academy can be reached directly through its president at 561-628-3344 or by email, and it maintains Facebook and Instagram accounts under the Elite Soccer Academy Lions name where it posts tryout announcements, camp registration windows, and game results. Because the club does not publish its full hours, season pricing, or a founding year on its website, and because Florida’s corporate registry lists several similarly named soccer entities that could not be conclusively matched to this specific program, families interested in exact program costs or the organization’s history should plan to contact the academy directly rather than relying on published rates or an assumed founding date.
