Kids Classes

JUNIOR SOCCER ACADEMY

The highly successful Junior Academy has been changed to Junior Soccer Academy. The program will be overseen by our USSF A Licensed coach and Director of Coaching, Nick Mulvaney. This program is set up to teach players the basic fundamentals of soccer. We encourage our players to be creative and express themselves freely. There is a combination of fun soccer games but also a strong emphasis on player development through higher level exercises. Your son/daughter will be challenged in this program as the coaches will prepare the young players from an early age to try new skills and techniques along with key coaching points in 3v3 scrimmages.

Our players will learn to be comfortable on the ball and be confident to dribble. Kick ball is strongly discouraged and scrimmaging in practice is essential to teach our players how to play the GAME. The element of competition is introduced to improve positioning and decision-making.
