We are excited to move forward with the second year of our Winter Development Academy. The Development Academy is geared towards players who want additional competitive soccer training during the months of November 2024 to February 2025.

Our Academy will offer ALL registered players advanced coaching with a combined technical and tactical focus. These intensive skill building sessions will be offered on Saturdays for our U9-U12 players and Tuesdays and Saturdays for our U13+ players. The Academy will focus on ongoing skills development for players who are seeking more of a year-round opportunity. To create a positive experience for everyone, participants who register should be committed to attending a majority of these sessions.
