Jr. Academy: Ages 11 – 16

This program is designed for boys ages 12-16, focusing on player development, ball mastery, spacing, angles, and skills repetition. An ideal program for beginners and intermediate players who want to learn and improve their fundamental skills and tactics, and have fun during active practice sessions led by Competitive team coaches. Gradually, more advanced training sessions are integrated with higher-level competitive drills for players who want to transition to a Competitive program. JR. Academy incorporates Competitive team drills and training sessions in a learning atmosphere so players can develop at their own pace. We focus on building soccer knowledge, but also address self-esteem, team unity, and confidence-building. This program creates a bridge between the Recreational and the Competitive programs.

We ask parents to provide player encouragement based on each player’s goals. Parents should expect to see progress in their level of play.
