NextUp Competitive
Tier 1
PSC's elite flagship program, one division below MLS Homegrown and the highest level a non-professional academy can compete in the country. Powered by the TOVO Methodology, players train 3–4 days per week in a high-accountability environment where attendance is required and impacts playing time and future invitations. Monthly sessions cover video analysis, tactical development, and sports psychology. All games are recorded on the MLS NEXT platform, giving college coaches direct access to player footage year-round. Regional and national travel is a required commitment. Players take real ownership as 3C players: Cognition, Competence, and Character. Rosters are fluid between Tier 1 and Tier 2 based on readiness and positional need.

Teams compete across Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio in the Texas Academy League, Girls ECNL-RL, STYSA state leagues, and top tournaments.
