The Junior Academy program is for players between the ages of 6-10 who are ready for a greater challenge than recreational soccer. It is their first opportunity to be trained by our professional coaches.

For each practice and game, players need soccer specific shoes (cleats or turf shoes), a size 4 soccer ball, shinguards (worn under the socks), and a water bottle.

Yes, for a player’s first season as a U7 player. If the two players are at the same level of play they may remain together; however, if the players are at different playing levels, they may be moved to different teams in future seasons.

Yes, if it is a full team. Recreational teams are allowed to come into the Academy and may stay together for the first season (if that is the desire of the families). Beyond that first season, those players will be placed on teams in the same manner as all other players.

All Junior Academy teams are coached by our professional staff. All coaches are KidSafe and SafeSport certified.

There are no tryouts, but we use the first two weeks of the season as a player evaluation period. Our staff will use these evaluations to place players on teams based on birth year and ability. Each family will receive an email at the end of the second week of the season notifying them of their team name and the coach/es that will be assigned to the team.

Teams will have 8-12 games per season.

There is a $35 admin fee for all refunds processed prior to the first date of training. After these dates there are no refunds.
