PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Riverhounds have announced plans for a new stadium in Station Square that will be the home field for its soccer games, as well as other local sports teams.  

Renderings of the yet-to-be-named stadium were shown Tuesday morning at a news conference at the Greentree SportsPlex. The $7 million project will be privately financed by local investors.

About 3,500 people will be able to fit in the stadium. It will be built on the Trib Total Media Amphitheater site and a nearby parking area, with a completion date of summer 2012.

The Academy program includes: fall & spring outdoor training sessions twice per week with weekend matches, tournaments, winter training and 24 winter indoor league games.   

Academy teams are comprised of U9-U10 players. The Academy program emphasizes technical and physical development while encouraging individual creativity and expression.   In addition to regular team practices, Stars United provides all players with year-round training opportunities and camps conducted by our Director of Coaching and staff of trainers. 

Stars United is based in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania just 20 miles north of Pittsburgh. Interested players should contact the Director of Coaching, Mark Perry or the respective team coach for information.  director@starsunited.org  

Academy U9 & U10 teams participate in local friendlies with other clubs in the GLA and attend tournaments for additional competition.  

The Academy program’s focus is not on winning but on developing each player to his or her fullest potential, preparing the players for success in the future.

Stars United Academy is designed to develop soccer players’ technical skills, with an age appropriate program.  The vision of this program is to not only prepare our young players how to play soccer technically, but do so in a safe and constructive environment. Stars United coaching philosophy has a strong emphasis on player development. Our experienced coaching staff is dedicated to ensuring that Stars players develop individual skills and understanding of the game, in an enjoyable format. And players are positively encouraged to participate in the game in a fair and competitive manner.      

Leading the way were the Stars United U-10 Girls (Champions), Stars United U-11 Girls (Champions), Stars United U-14 Boys (Finalists).
