Patriot FC

Youth Academy

The Youth Academy is designed as an opportunity for players just starting their soccer journey in our Fall Intramural Program to get more training that can prepare them to succeed as they grow, at either the Intramural or Travel soccer levels. The primary goal of the program is to develop the technical skills of the individual player and for them to continue to enjoy playing soccer, by playing more soccer!. Participating players must be a 2012 or 2013 birthyear and enroll in The Youth Academy as either 'FALL ONLY' or 'FULL YEAR'.
Their enrollment in The Youth Academy (YA) covers BOTH the Intramural registration fee and the extra YA charge.

Details of our Fall Intramural Program be found here as they apply to our Youth Academy players including our Volunteer Commitment Policy & Opt-Out-Option.

Schedule

During the Fall season, the program is an extension of our Intramural program. Youth Academy players will participate in one YA practice session per week that will focus on technical skills, in addition to attending their regular Intramural practice and games. In the event of a conflict, Intramural practices should take priority. The practice sessions will be boys an girls working together, with the number of sessions dependent upon participation.

Players who enroll in "Full Year" will participate in one indoor practice session per week through the winter. During the Spring these players will participate in one to two practice sessions per week and will play in local festivals on weekends. The festivals will feature the same size fields and teams as our 2012-2013 Intramural program and will be structured in a similar fashion. Each festival will feature two to three games where players are encouraged to try new ideas and express themselves in a pressure free environment. Practice sessions for Academy players will be coached by Patriot FC training staff in accordance with our curriculum throughout the year.

Registration

If your child is a 2012-2013 birth year and wishes to participate in the Youth Academy, they will need to be registered for the Youth Academy Program.
