Academy Juniors Programming

 

All Academy Juniors programs are designed with development and fun in mind and are considered recreational. Our co-ed programs focus on nurturing a love for the game while helping players build skills and confidence as they prepare for future Academy opportunities.

Players of all skill levels and a wide range of ages are welcome and encouraged to join! Be sure to review each program description carefully for specific details on pricing, age groups, schedules, and more.

Academy Juniors Playmaker Technical Skills - Ages 4-14

This is a standalone program, separate from the recreational Academy Juniors League. It does not involve team formation or Saturday games. Instead, this six-week training series is designed for young players who want to sharpen their skills and get more touches on the ball in a focused, supportive setting.

 

Training takes place in small groups to maximize individual attention and player development. Each 50-minute session combines fun, age-appropriate soccer activities with small-sided games to build both technical ability and tactical awareness.
