Juniors
Success
Starts Here
Our Juniors program is the combination of our previous Micros and Junior Academy programs along with a newly-minted 4 year-old (5U) program.
Led by our Juniors Program Coordinator, Melissa Loretto, the program has been retooled from the ground up to better support each player’s enjoyment and development in the game. Like all of our programs, our Juniors program incorporates the advice of our experts to establish fundamentals, instill a passion for the game, and set a basis for future success. Players from 4 to 7 years old (5U to 8U) learn the sport through a fun, nurturing, and engaging progression of activities that improves coordination, soccer skill, and knowledge of the game.
If your son or daughter is 3 to 7 years old, this is the program for you.
4U Juniors
Our youngest Juniors
are introduced to the sport through different soccer games and activities that
help them develop essential skills and coordination to begin their soccer
journey. Practices are conducted once per week in a positive, encouraging
group setting, led by our Age Level Coordinator and supported by parents. The majority of activities involve the
use of a smaller, age-appropriate soccer ball, allowing them to develop a
muscle memory for proper technique and provide a natural way to develop
familiarity with the feeling of the ball on their feet.
5U & 6U Juniors
Our 5U/6U Juniors continue the development of their soccer skills by playing mini-games and other soccer-related activities that introduce them to the fundamentals of dribbling, passing, and shooting. Players participate in one practice per week led by our Age Level Coordinator in a group setting that gets the players moving and having fun right from the start. Parents assist during practices, guiding the players through each game and activity, combining fun with enrichment and skill development.
U7 & U8 Juniors
Our oldest Juniors are placed on teams coached by parent-coaches. Instruction is provided in a group setting led by our Age Level Coordinator one day per week, supported by their coaches. Coaches then lead their teams through one practice a second day of the week and they coach their teams’ games on weekends in our in-house league. This approach of two practices and one game each week facilitates the development of soccer skills quickly while introducing players to elements of tactics and competition – all while having a great time along the way.
Our U7 & U8 program is available for full-year registration, and in most cases, it’s available for half-season play as well (fall or spring). Given that players are placed on teams, we need to have space on a team to support our half-season players. However we do all we can to provide players with an opportunity to play – including forming new teams when we have enough players to do so.
