Fun and Learning
This program is the next level after Academy for players to continue participation & development.
This level of soccer includes a balance of fun, learning, and competitiveness. Training will be fun but also challenge players to learn and grow technically, tactically, physically, mentally, and socially. Playing time for games may vary some but each player should get at least half across each game.
New and existing technical skills will still be introduced and refined, but players will be equipped and challenged to take more responsibility to work on some of that on their own as training will shift to a more holistic approach to developing technique with tactical intelligence for in-game realistic contexts.
Coaching Support
Recreational soccer is not possible without the use of volunteer parent coaches. If you are interested in coaching we would love to have you and you will not be alone. The only thing you need is a heart for helping kids discover and develop a love for soccer. Club staff will provide you with what to do and how to do it and be here to support, guide, and collaborate with you along the way for success.
