Grove Soccer Expands to the Valley, Introducing Grove Academy West

Grove Soccer is proud to announce the launch of Grove Academy West, bringing our high-performance training environment, individualized development model, and proven player pathway to the Shenandoah Valley.

Building on our success in Richmond, Virginia, and our international programs in Paarl and Cape Town, South Africa, this expansion marks the next step in Grove Soccer’s commitment to identifying, developing, and elevating young soccer talent in communities across the globe.

⁠“Every Grove location shares one vision — to provide a professional environment where players can reach their full potential,” said Justin Grove, Founder & President of Grove United. “We’re excited to bring that same culture of excellence to Harrisonburg and create new opportunities for players to train, compete, and grow within a clear pathway to the next level.”

Grove Academy West will begin competition in the UPSL Academy League starting January 2026, offering advanced technical training, tactical development, and personalized growth plans modeled after professional club standards for players U13–U20.

With locations now in Richmond (VA), Harrisonburg (VA), Paarl (South Africa), and Cape Town (South Africa), Grove Soccer continues to expand its development network — providing players with meaningful pathways to success right here in Virginia and around the world.
