At age 5, we begin our Player Development Academies. Our Academies prepare participants for the potential to play on one of our travel-select (Green Wave) teams in future seasons. At this age level, we begin to introduce boundaries, rules of the game, target and body awareness concepts, and basic soccer SAQ (Speed, Agility, & Quickness) movements. Our curriculum is tailored around instruction that encourages social interaction and speaks to the concept of team, as well as a strong emphasis on familiarity and confidence with the ball.

A step up from our Little Kicks Clinic, our Junior Kicks Clinic provides an introduction to the sport of soccer via fun, social and active games, which focus on instilling a basic sense of soccer balance, motor skills, teamwork and game fundamentals. We begin to touch on the mechanics associated with some of the more basic soccer skills--dribbling, shooting, passing and receiving as well as an introduction to the rules of the game. Our focus is to provide an atmosphere in which an early love of the game can be nurtured and realized.
