ID Session Process
At Michigan Development Academy, we believe the best way to identify players is by seeing them in a real training environment, either with a team or at one of our open training days. Our identification process is designed to give players and families a true understanding of the MDA experience while allowing our coaching staff to evaluate how players learn, compete, and interact within our training model. Please reach out to the relevant age group directors, listed below.
