JR Academy Information

We are excited to announce our JR Academy for U5–U8 players this  season. Our training curriculum is designed in alignment with the U.S. Soccer Federation development model, ensuring age-appropriate training that supports each player’s growth and enjoyment of the game.

The program will run for eight weeks, consisting of six weeks of training sessions and two weeks of games. This structure allows players to develop their skills and then apply what they have learned in a fun game environment.

Each week, players will train on small-sided fields to maximize touches on the ball and increase game involvement. Every session will begin and end with small-sided games, and all activities are designed to be fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. Players will each have a ball throughout practice and will be introduced to a variety of moves during the training sessions.

A strong emphasis will be placed on dribbling and ball control to help players become confident and creative on the ball. Our program also includes developmental targets that provide coaches, parents, and players with helpful reference points for skills players can achieve at different ages. These benchmarks support a learning environment that is enriching, challenging, and enjoyable for all participants.
