Types of Programs

  • Recreational: Recreational programs are for youth players 4U - 19U (see below for explanation of age groups) and are geared towards players who want to play "just for fun." Teams are not selected using tryouts and players are never "cut." Training time is minimal each week and teams are scheduled for one game a week.  Teams are parent volunteer coached.

  • Academy: Academy programs are competitive select soccer programs designed for younger players. Academy programs are for the 9U- 12U age groups (see below for explanation of age groups).  We also offer Junior Academy programs for 7U and 8U players. Teams are formed using tryouts, though the primary objective of these programs is player development.  Training time is greater than recreational programs.  There are more games per season, including tournaments, than recreational teams.  Teams are coached by professional coaches; most with college and/or professional experience.

  • Athena/Classic: Often called "select" soccer, these programs are for the competitive player in age groups 13U to 19U. These teams are formed by tryouts, players are cut, and the focus is split between development and competition. Training time is greater than recreational programs.   There are more games per season, including tournaments, than recreational teams. Teams are coached by professional coaches; most with college and/or professional experience.
