Training Sessions Break down

Jr. Academy players will participate in a technical group training session led by Coach Chris Levan - every Monday from 5:45-6:45.


All players will select their team training day and time slot during registration.


Currently those options are -  Wednesdays or Thursdays at either the 4:30-5:30 time slot or the 5:45-6:45 time slot.


Teams will be formed based on your selection for your team training time.  If you want to be with a friend, please make sure you sign up for the same team training session.  (Just a reminder, teammate and coach requests are not guaranteed.

The ASG Jr. Academy is based on five pillars of success.

1.  Age appropriate developmental curriculum, including 20 foundation skills that young players must acquire.


2. Dynamic HEADS UP training which focuses on movement education, balance, agility and coordination.


3. Fundamental introduction to partner training and 1v1 transition play, the building blocks for teaching soccer tactics (decision making).


4. Introduction to positional play through small sided games. Introduction to tactics and playing experience for all positions on the field.


5. Creation of a fun, challenging, learning environment where players are introduced to the rules of the game and develop friendships both on and off the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

1) DOES MY CHILD NEED TO TRY OUT FOR Jr. Academy?

There are no try outs for Jr. Academy. If you are not sure whether your child is ready to participate just contact Coach Chris.

2) HOW ARE THE TEAMS DIVIDED?

Teams are divided by gender and birth year (use this age chart for clarification) we do our best to fulfill your registration requests (training day, time, player and coach request)

3) WHAT EQUIPMENT DOES MY PLAYER NEED?

All players need a water bottle, shinguards and a soccer ball 

(5v5 games use a size 3 ball and 7v7 games use a size 4)

4) When can I expect the game schedule?

Games schedules for the first game day are usually released the first week of each season. The rest of the season schedule will not be released until after the first game day (This helps us ensure that teams are matched against appropriate competition).


A few important things to keep in mind regarding game schedules: 

a) Schedules are subject to change, sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances (teams dropping out, weather etc.) we have to alter your opponent or even game time. We will email you and post the updated schedule on our website.


b) Sometimes game days/times are inconvenient, but please keep in mind this is often due to something out of our control. We share the meadows complex with multiple other organizations and are only allotted certain fields at specific times. Games are also dependent on coaching conflicts (some of our coaches have many teams) and Referee availability.

5) What does the game uniform come with and how do I order one?

Junior Academy uses the same game uniform as the  D1 and Classic programs (this way you don't have to buy a new one when you move up). The package comes with a red jersey, a white jersey, black shorts and black socks. We don't require you to purchase any of the add ons so these uniform packages are generally around $90.


These are ordered through soccer.com. All you need to do is contact coach Chris, either by calling the office or emailing him at  Coach Chris. Let him know your child's name and the program they play in (Junior Academy). He will then send you a link from soccer.com - from there you just input your player's size and your shipping address!

6) What are Jr. Academy 7v7 teams and how do I get my child on one?

The U.S. Soccer Federation suggests that players at the U7-U8 age groups play small sided games in the 4v4 format. We completely agree, however there are always exceptions.

Players are invited to 7v7 teams by the program director upon meeting certain criteria:

1) Players must be in the U8 or U9 age groups.

2) Players must have been in the Jr. Academy program for at least one season

3) The program director must see the player and talk with the team coach and parents.


*If your child does not meet these criteria and you think they should be considered please contact Coach Chris.

7) My training/game was cancelled last minute. Why?

At Warner/ASG we believe soccer is an all-weather sport. If it were up to us we'd play  through rain every time. However, the Meadows complex is owned by the City of Tallahassee and they are responsible for deciding when the fields are playable. We do our absolute best to relay information regarding field closures to our families in a timely manner.

8) My training/game was cancelled due to weather; Will there be a makeup?

We ensure that each team gets a minimum of 6 regular season games and based on availability of fields, coaches open days during the season make up trainings are scheduled whenever possible. 


Based on availability of coaches and fields Jr. Academy will often have Friday evening make-up training.
