Your Chance to Be Seen: COPA Soccer Training Center’s Free Assessments for Young Players

For most players, the path to professional soccer feels like a long shot—one that’s often out of reach unless you have the resources to break into the system. But what if there were a way to be seen purely based on your skills and potential? That’s exactly what COPA Soccer Training Center (COPA STC) is offering.

Located in Northern California, COPA STC is a state-of-the-art soccer training and assessment facility dedicated to revolutionizing how talent is identified. With cutting-edge technology and a data-driven approach, COPA STC’s mission is to give every player, regardless of their background, a fair chance to be noticed by top teams. At the heart of their process is the COPA Score, an objective evaluation of a player’s physical, technical, and cognitive abilities—plus insights into their skeletal development. This unique system provides a complete picture of a player’s long-term potential, setting a new global standard for soccer talent identification.

Breaking Barriers: COPA’s Mission to Democratize Soccer

Let’s face it: the pay-to-play system in U.S. soccer has kept many talented players from getting the opportunities they deserve. But COPA Soccer Training Center is here to level the playing field. Their goal? To make sure every player, regardless of background, has a fair shot at being seen, scouted, and recruited.

With their data-driven COPA Score, COPA has redefined how talent is evaluated. This isn’t just about how fast you can run or how sharp your footwork is—though that’s part of it. The COPA Score measures your physical, technical, and cognitive abilities, plus your skeletal development, giving a comprehensive look at your long-term potential. It’s a game-changing tool that puts every player on an even playing field.

The COPA Score

The COPA Score is a comprehensive evaluation of a player’s abilities and potential. Here’s what it measures:

Physical Abilities

• Speed, agility, strength, and endurance are tested to determine how well a player performs athletically on the field.
• Tests: The Speedcourt, The Speedtrack, The Forceplate

Technical Skills

• Ball control, passing, shooting, and dribbling are analyzed to showcase a player’s technical proficiency.
• Test: The COPA Cube

Cognitive Abilities

• Decision-making, spatial awareness, and reaction time are assessed to understand how players think and react in high-pressure situations.
• Test: The Vienna Test System

Skeletal Development

• By evaluating skeletal age, COPA offers insights into a player’s physical growth and long-term potential—key factors for developing athletes.
• Test: SonicBone

These facets combine to give a detailed picture of who you are as a player today and your potential to grow into a pro-level athlete.
