Little Warriors Pre-Academy Program
Little Warriors is a fun, beginner-friendly program for young players (U6-U7) to learn basic skills, build confidence, and develop a love for the game.
Youth Academy
The Academy program acts as a bridge between recreation soccer and competitive classic soccer, focused on player development with emphasis on individual technical training. We introduce the travel element of playing against other clubs, however there are no leagues and scores are not kept. We are heavily focused on the development of our players, with the aim of getting them ready to play competitive classic soccer at U11.
Academy is for those who have played recreation soccer and are ready for a more competitive environment focused on player development, with emphasis on technical training, and coached by experienced parent volunteers under the guidance of our Director of Coaching.
Academy is a year-round program with practice two nights per week.
Classic Teams
