Purpose of the Youth Academy

Youth Academy (YA) is for players just starting their soccer journey.  The goal of the program is to develop age-appropriate individual technical skills and for players to learn to love the game of soccer. How do you get better at playing soccer? By playing more soccer, of course!  Training sessions are coached by our highly qualified training staff and will follow our player development curriculum. Players must be a 2013 or 2014 birth year.

Schedule & Seasons

Youth Academy has 3 separate seasons, Fall, Winter & Spring.  Players can register for individual seasons or enroll for the full year at a discounted price.  Players who enroll for the ‘Full Year’ will participate in the Fall, Winter and Spring seasons as described below.

During the 8-week Winter season, Youth Academy players will have one outdoor training session per week that will focus on technical skills and small-sided games. These sessions are coached by our professional training staff.

During the 10-week Spring season, Youth Academy players will have one training sessions per week.  These sessions are coached by our professional training staff.  On the weekends they will play in local festivals.  The festivals will feature two to three 20 minute games where players are encouraged to try new ideas and express themselves in a pressure free environment.
