a living and learning community. As a coeducational, college
preparatory boarding and day school for students in grades 6

we call the “& experience”and is what makes SSM unique.
What does this mean? Integrated into our academic program
are the possibilities to branch out and excel in a number of
areas, such as hockey, figure skating, soccer, and the arts.

20 countries. With an average class size of 15, and a student
to teacher ratio of 7 to 1, our primary goal is to prepare each
student not just for college but for a confident life beyond
our doors. Founded in 1858, Shattuck-St. Mary’s is one of
the oldest college preparatory schools in the Midwest.

Soccer at Shattuck-Saint Mary’s

Soccer at Shattuck-Saint Mary’s
The soccer program at Shattuck-St. Mary’s School provides
a unique developmental approach for young, aspiring
players who are passionate about their sport and want a
greater challenge than what is available to them in their local
community. A fulltime residency program and a part-time
youth academy are available for players to choose from based
on their age, ability and interest. Inclusion in our school’s
fulltime residency program is based on both an academic
admissions process and an evaluation of playing ability.
Residency Program
Our fulltime residential program is the cornerstone of
our curriculum and provides a full nine months of
soccer development and training. This sport-specific program
is part of the Center of Excellence programming offered by
Shattuck-St. Mary’s and provides boys and girls with an
outstanding college preparatory education while allowing
them to be totally immersed in their sport. Players within our
residency program train and compete on teams that are based
on age and ability. This comprehensive program provides an
environment similar to those found in youth academies at
professional clubs world-wide.
Adaily regimen of individual and team training, soccer-
specific conditioning, match competition, strength
training and ongoing player evaluation is included in our
fulltime program. Starting in September when school begins,
players train daily following their classes and compete on
weekends, afternoons or evenings throughout the school
year. A program of competition providing 50-60 games
against school, club, ODP or senior amateur teams is
customized to meet the ever-changing needs of each age
group team. In addition, every year our oldest teams attend
two or more nationally recognized college showcase events
that provide exposure for our college-bound athletes.
Outstanding facilities provide perfect training conditions
year round, regardless of weather. Players have access
to some of the finest soccer facilities in the country. The Dane
Family Field House provides our players with a full-sized
state-of-the-art indoor synthetic field. In addition, an irrigated
natural grass field and a second outdoor synthetic field are
also available for training and games. All fields provide for
a minimum playing dimension of 115x70 yards and are fully
equipped with both full and small-sided goals for training
and games.
Helping athletes to stay injury free and healthy is an
important aspect of our program. Our health and sport
medicine center provides two fulltime athletic trainers, three
fulltime nurses and a part-time nutritionist. These individuals
provide daily treatment and care for the athlete as well as
coordinating and overseeing any rehabilitation program for
an injured player. Backing up our sports medicine staff are
several area physicians who specialize in the treatment and
care of sports injuries.
1155
Another vital component of our program that keeps
players in competition and enhances their performance
is the School’s strength and conditioning center. A fully
equipped strength training facility is utilized by all our
teams throughout the school year. Supplementing this is
the soccer-specific performance training that is integrated
into the on-field training sessions. Focusing on the athletic
qualities necessary for an elite athlete, players receive
training to improve agility, balance, endurance, flexibility,
starting speed and power.
Perhaps the most significant factor of our residency
program is the existing culture of Shattuck-St. Mary’s
that allows for a fulltime program. Providing the ingredients
described above on a consistent, long-term basis greatly
accelerates a player’s individual development and game
maturity. Integrating an academic and soccer development
program under one roof allows the athlete to experience
many other important aspects of school life during their
time at Shattuck-St. Mary’s.
Youth Academy
Apart-time soccer development program for young boys
and girls from Southern Minnesota is provided by our
youth academy. Players in the Youth Academy utilize the
same facilities and coaches as our fulltime program as well
as selected college and youth coaches from the community.
Players are provided a superior learning experience that
enhances their overall soccer experience.
Academy programming provides age-appropriate training
for boys and girls through three distinct developmental
programs. These programs—Soccer Start, Academy Player
Development Program, and Academy Select Teams—provide
a supplemental training environment for over 300 young
boys and girls.
The Soccer Start program provides beginning players
and their youth coaches with an introductory skill
development curriculum. The Player Development Program
offers competitive players, age 8-16, a program of technical
and tactical training aimed at improving their understanding
of soccer through small-sided games. Our final academy
program provides players age 11 and up, with the
opportunity to train and compete as a member of an
Academy Select Team.
In addition our Youth Academy organizes and schedules
several youth tournaments and friendly games throughout
the year. These tournaments and games provide each player
with additional game exposure which greatly aids in their
overall development.
For news about these developing programs, check out the
Shattuck-St. Mary’s School Web site at www.s-sm.org.
More information can be obtained by contacting our Youth
Academy manager at [email protected] or 507-333-1609.

Student-athletes participating in the soccer program at
Shattuck-St. Mary’s School have the opportunity to
benefit from working with coaches who have an extensive
network of collegiate contacts and working with college
advisors who have significant experience working with the
full spectrum of colleges and universities available in the
United States.
Beginning in the winter of the junior year, coaches and
college advisors work together to help each student-
athlete develop a potential list of colleges and universities
with particular attention paid to the athletic/academic
interface. While coaches assist student-athletes in identifying
a range of schools appropriate for a young person’s particular
skill/talent level, college advisors assist students in identifying
a range of schools appropriate for a young person’s interests
and academic preparation. While coaches assist student-
athletes in preparing for contact with collegiate coaches and
official/unofficial visits, college advisors assist with NCAA
Clearinghouse registration, test registration, and application
preparation.
Shattuck-St. Mary’s School has more than a decade of
experience in working with student-athletes who seek to
continue their athletic participation at the highest level
possible during their college years while also pursuing an
academic career in preparation for graduate and/or
professional school. We, as an institution, take great pride in
providing students with the counsel of skilled professionals
who have made working with motivated young people their
life’s work.
