This is the introductory program to elite competition and travel. Directly connected to the Jr. Academy program, the Academy teams are trained twice weekly using a curriculum based on age appropriate guidelines outlined by US Soccer. Academy coaching professionals offer technical and tactical sessions formulating the core building blocks essential to higher level competition.
