Club Soccer Is Evolving—Is Your Program Ready?
Across the country, leading club soccer programs are beginning to rethink what development really looks like.
Yes, technical training and tactical reps matter. But ask any experienced coach what separates their top athletes, and they’ll tell you:
“It’s what they do in between practices.”
Sleep. Recovery. Hydration. Nutrition. Mental focus. These are the difference-makers. And they’ve been nearly impossible to track—until now.
Daily Check-Ins Change Everything
XA Score gives club coaches a clear window into how each athlete is doing before they step on the field. A quick, daily check-in (sleep, soreness, how they’re feeling) creates a culture of awareness, accountability, and ownership.
It doesn’t replace coaching—it enhances it.
“One of the most important things we can do as coaches is help athletes navigate adversity,” says Brad McCaslin, founder of XA Score. “But we have to know what they’re going through first. XA Score helps us ask that question every single day.”
What XA Score Brings to Club Soccer
XA Score gives club directors, coaches, and athletes a simple, daily system for measuring what matters most, without adding tech clutter, spreadsheets, or more apps for parents to download.
✅ Daily Self-Check-ins: Athletes log how they feel, how they slept, and how their body is responding to training on their phone.
✅ Coach Dashboard: Real-time alerts let you know who’s off-track, so you can intervene before it leads to burnout or injury.
✅ Culture Tracking: XA Score quantifies accountability and discipline with team-wide scoring.
✅ Weight Management: For programs that track weight (especially with multi-sport athletes), XA Score provides trendlines, not pressure.
Why It Matters for Clubs
For clubs that only see athletes 2–3 times per week, XA Score fills the gaps between sessions with actionable insight and accountability systems that build trust, routine, and next-level results.
It helps athletes take ownership while helping coaches and directors become better guides.
“This is what college programs are already tracking. If we can teach it now, our players will be more prepared—and healthier.”
What’s Next
We’re seeing club programs implement XA Score in multiple ways:
- As a club-wide system to reinforce discipline and connection.
- As a support tool for competitive athletes with college potential.
- As a year-round resource, athletes can take with them, especially when they’re out of season.
The next wave of club soccer success won’t just be built on touches and tournaments—it will be built on daily ownership.
XA Score is proud to support that mission.
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
- ffghfgh
- sfghsfghs
- fghh
- sdfhsfghsdfghsgf
- sghsfgh
- sfghsfgh
- sgfh
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
