About Me
My Experience, My Passion
The game of soccer is full of life lessons and requires much when reaching a high level. After 20 years of falling in love with the beautiful game and playing at the Division 1 collegiate level at Longwood University, playing for Wilmington Hammerheads Youth FC, and Coastal Christian High School. I have learned much as a player who has strived to craft their game. Yet, my experience also as a Coach for CCHS Varsity boys soccer, Wilmington Hammerheads Youth FC, and personal coach, I have learned lessons and skills to help you reach the next level on your journey and help you chase your dreams!
​
Here at Matt Ward Soccer Academy the goal is to use the integral combination of both player and personal development to help athletes reach their dreams and join them and their families on this exciting journey!
If you would like to improve your game and take it to the next level, come and train with Matt Ward Soccer Academy Networks.
​
God Bless!
Services
Here at MWSA we have many services to help you along your soccer journey. In terms of on field options we offer One on One Private Training Sessions, Sports Psych & Leadership Coaching Sessions, Small Group Sessions, and Weight/Cardio Training. These sessions will be fully intensive and encompass ball mastery, proper technique in shooting and passing, challenge game IQ, defensive principles, goalkeeper training, and more that is position or player specific.
For our off the field options we have College Recruiting Aid & Consulting and Game Film Review. The College Recruiting Aid & Consulting can be a great resource to help you primarily understand how recruiting works, rules and regulations, finding a college that is right for you, and what you can control in your recruiting process to give you the best chance. While Game Film Review is a great option to take a deeper look into your game and have a experienced player and coach help you study areas to grow through your personal game film.

“I have truly enjoyed training with Matt because I am receiving high level instructions on my micro movements that have already improved my game. It has also been fruitful to discuss how to manage the highs and lows of college soccer with someone who has been there too."
