This is an introduction to soccer for the younger age groups. For all age groups, the focus is on learning the game, enjoying soccer, and having fun. For the younger players, natural movements (running, jumping, stopping, etc.) are all part of players learning to understand their bodies, help develop balance and agility and begin a love affair with the game. Should be lots of interaction with the ball.

Players in the Jr. Academy are learning to become part of a competitive team. More time is spent on the technical fundamentals and how they are used during game play. Tactical direction is starting to be given along with ideas of how to work together with teammates to achieve desired outcomes.

Continued player development is the focus of Jr. Competitive teams. Mastering techniques and learning when to apply them is key. There is an emphasis on decision-making and speed of play. Players gain an understanding of gamesmanship and different tactics, and the reasons behind different strategies.

Knowing that setting goals and following the process is the key to achieving success, this is when results and finding ways to obtain them become increasingly important. Playing time is earned, not guaranteed. Learning how to get out of groups in a tournament, strategizing for winning a final or shootout, and hanging on to a victory all come into play. The club also focuses on teaching the things that can best prepare a player for competing on the College level and beyond.
