Create an Avila Soccer App Account

An email invite will be sent to set up an Avila App Account after purchasing a program. If you have not received an email invite to the app, please text Avila App support at 512.710.6406 and provide your name and email address.

With the Avila App, parents will be able to have their children’s schedule all in one place, be able to sign-up for skills classes, cancel classes, and check-in to classes.

For instructions on how to set-up an account, reserving and cancelling classes, and checking in, click on the following links.

Reserving Skills Classes

Available to players with the following programs: Summer Camp, Summer Train & Apply (Summer Camp + Scrimmaging + Speed & Agility)

Players can attend up to 1.5 hours or 3 Specialty Skills Classes each day. A Speed & Agility Class can also be scheduled if purchased together with Summer Camp (Speed & Agility is also free with the Summer Train & Apply program). You’ll be able to choose the exact classes you want–location, dates, time, and type of class.

  • Summer Camp starts Tuesday, May 30th
  • Reserving classes is done through the Avila App
  • No crashing of classes, only attend the classes that you reserved for. Players may not be permitted to train if classes aren’t reserved. 
  • Last minute sign-ups can be made an hour before class starts if spots are still available.
  • If you plan to skip a class, please make sure to cancel before the session starts, failure to cancel will result in a $10 fine.

Attending Classes

1. Check-in prior to classes

Two ways to check-in:

  • Check-in through your Avila App
  • Use the computers in the lobby to check-in

2. Players must be dressed according to the mandatory dress code

Wearing your Avila shirt is mandatory. If not in an Avila shirt, players may be allowed to train but dress code violations will be noted and our staff will reach out to parents by phone. See complete dress code below.

Avila shirts are mandatory and available for purchase ONLINE ONLY. Shirts delivered within 2 weeks. (From $10)

3. Players must bring their own wristband

Players will be assigned a wristband on the player’s first day based on their existing level or result of the Baseline Assessment. Wristbands must be worn every time players come to Avila as noted in the dress code. If players forget their wristbands, a new one will be assigned at the cost of $2 (a text confirmation will be sent).

Mandatory Dress Code

Due to some unexpected issues, shirts will be shipping later than expected. We apologize for the inconvenience. Avila Soccer will be suspending the mandatory dress code temporarily for those affected by shipping issues. Until then, players will be provided with training vests.

  • Players must wear an Avila Classic Shirt at all times. Limited edition Avila shirts are also acceptable to wear.
  • Players are expected to have their own Avila Classic Shirt within 10 days of start of training.
  • Players who show up without an Avila shirt will be asked to wear a pinnie, which will be returned at the end of the session.
  • Players must wear an Avila wristband designating their level. Players will be assigned a wristband on the player's first day based on their existing level or result of the Baseline Assessment. If players forget their wristbands, a new one will be assigned at the cost of $2 (a text confirmation will be sent).
  • Goalies are excluded from this dress code but must wear the Avila wristband that corresponds with their level.
  • Use soccer shorts or athletic shorts, any color is fine.
  • Shin guards are required during scrimmage classes but may be removed during skills sessions.
  • Turf shoes are preferred. Cleats and tennis shoes are acceptable. Shooting Mechanics class is done barefoot, cleats should be removed before class.

Tips for Players

  • Bring balls but don’t forget to bring them home when you leave
  • Bring a bag with water and a dry shirt–you will work up a sweat and should stay hydrated and dry.
  • Show up with the attitude that you want to get better, not necessarily the attitude that you want to win.
  • Be process oriented, not results oriented
  • Remember to compliment the other campers who are trying to reproduce the skills we are teaching as best they can. As their approximations get better, and you take notice, do not hesitate to encourage them and tell them good job. Because that means a lot coming from you.
  • Don’t mistake activity for achievement! Slow down and understand the nuts and bolts of the move first before speeding up.
  • Don’t worry if you cannot get a move right away. Sometimes the class is simply designed to introduce the move and its elements and over the summer’s expanse – you begin to master it.
  • Thank your family and friends who bought this camp for you. You are involved in some of the finest training that Texas has to offer, or anywhere in the states for that matter.
