The Sports Academy's soccer program is focused on players 8-18 years old. Our goal is to help young players improve their skills and increase their enjoyment of the game, while enhancing their importance to their team. Players will be grouped according to age and skill level. Participants will receive individual and group instruction on footwork, passing skills, dribbling, defense, and game strategies. Instruction will also be offered for those interested in goalkeeping. Players can expect plenty of game action.
