College-Bound Student-Athletes Can Now Apply for PCDA's Transitional Year Program Based at Xavier University's Corcoran Field
CINCINNATI - Pre College Development Academy (PCDA), one of the nation's premier transitional year soccer programs, is excited to announce that applications are now open for its Xavier University location in Cincinnati, Ohio. Student-athletes will train and compete at Corcoran Field, the home of Xavier's BIG EAST Conference men's and women's soccer programs.
The PCDA Xavier location offers college-bound soccer players a structured transitional year that combines elite-level training in a Division I environment with continued academic progression through college coursework. The program is designed for motivated players seeking additional time to develop physically, technically, and academically before entering the collegiate game.
Corcoran Field, located on Xavier University's campus in the heart of Cincinnati, provides a true collegiate training and competition atmosphere. Student-athletes will have access to top-tier facilities, professional coaching, competitive match play, and direct recruitment exposure — all within a BIG EAST Conference environment.
PCDA's model goes beyond traditional gap year programs by integrating college coursework into the student-athlete's schedule. Players don't just train — they continue earning academic credits, ensuring they arrive at their future college or university ahead of schedule both on and off the field.
The Xavier location joins PCDA's growing national network, which includes its Naples, Florida site at Paradise Sports Complex, PCDA Charlotte, and PCDA St. Louis. Together, these locations provide student-athletes with year-round options for elite development in world-class environments.
As PCDA continues expanding its national footprint, the Xavier University location reinforces the program's commitment to offering a defined pathway between high school and college soccer — one that prioritizes athletic readiness, recruitment exposure, academic advancement, and personal development.
