Academy teams are normally selected from those players that are currently participating in our spring, summer, or fall recreational league. The U8 academy teams are meant to be gender specific but if we do not get enough players for the program we will have a co-ed team. The teams are normally selected over the summer. This team will train once per week from November to July, and will play occasional friendly small sided games throughout the year.
The philosophy of this program is player development. Coaches place a strong emphasis on not only the development of soccer skills, but also the development of each player from a cognitive, social, and psychomotor standpoint. Locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills will also be developed, as players improve soccer skills.
