YOUTH ACADEMY OVERVIEW

The Youth Academy is a developmental program, designed to improve foot skills, tactical and technical game skills, shooting, passing, and dribbling. The Academy is designed for 7u-10u soccer players.

The Academy uses a combination of skills sessions and small-sided games to teach the players the skills needed to move on to competitive programs. Our philosophy is simple, develop soccer players using fun and exciting drills, skills sessions, and games.

2025-2026 YOUTH ACADEMY FEES

Our philosophy is that we want all kids who have the ability to play regardless of their ability to pay. We keep our fees as low as possible, and in fact they are some of the lowest in the state for a full service club. Depending on the age of the player, the family will save between $700 and $1,700 playing for our club vs. the big clubs in the area. We are proud of that!

Description of Fees

An Acceptance Fee Payment is a non-refundable payment due at the time of initial team registration. The Acceptance Fee is $140 and is part of the annual Club Fee and not an additional fee due to the club. This payment will act as your team acceptance for the year securing your spot with the team in which you have been selected. Your spot is not guaranteed until the full Acceptance Fee amount is received by the Club.
