What is Academy and who are the coaches?
The academy program is led by our experienced, paid coaching staff who teach the fundamentals of soccer through fun and engaging practices. Players develop their skills through game like activities and often work in a 1:1 ball to player ratio allowing them to get more touches each session.
In addition, you can look out for some of the University of Mary women’s soccer players who are there most weeks coaching too!
In this program we aspire to:
- Improve and develop skills through activities and small sided games
- Provide a positive learning environment
- Promote health, exercise, and good character
- Stimulate teamwork and communication
- Focus on player development specific to each age group
