Our U7 – U9 program is designed to introduce younger players to the game of soccer. These years are crucial for players to build a strong foundation, upon which they can build for years to come. Our program will challenge players through fun games while helping to build a technical foundation that will best prepare them for competitive soccer. Players will build confidence and learn to love the game through their skills.
Philosophy: We believe all players at this age need to be creative on the pitch. Players are individualistic, so allowing them to express themselves on the field will better prepare them for premier level soccer. At these age groups we focus on 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 technical training with a strong focus on dribbling, learning new moves and most importantly having fun. Expectations at this age are minimal as this is the time most players are initially introduced to the game. It is important to note that winning is not our top priority, but rather making sure players are learning proper technical skills appropriate for their age and learning to play and love the game the way it is meant to be played. Our training program is based on the methodologies that have been developed and refined for years through our Futeboltraining skills Academy. These methodologies draw heavily on our coaching staff’s extensive playing and coaching experience, as well as on close relationships with top professional soccer clubs around the world.
The program consists of training 2 times a week, optional summer tournaments, fall league, optional winter program and spring league.
Leagues and tournaments will be determined based on the teams skill level once formed.
