Our Youth Academy was implemented beginning the 2019/2020 Soccer Year to enhance the skills of our youngest players for their future placement on Competitive Teams!

A year-long training program for children with a desire to become competitive soccer players.

Primary Goal of the Academy: Provide Lee County and Surrounding Communities Youth, ages 8-12, with Opportunities for Professional Training by Licensed Academy Coaches. Preparing them for Higher Level Play at ages 12 to 19!

Training Consists of 2-3 Days per Week of Technical Skills, Strengthening & Conditioning.

Unlike Recreation or Competitive teams, Youth Academy players focus on the training aspect of soccer to take players to the next level. It is all about DEVELOPMENT! During the season the Youth Academy teams will play matches against other Youth Academy clubs in the area. They will also enter regional showcases across the state to test their skills.

Mission of the Academy: The Academy is not about Matches & Games. It is about training our young players to get them ready for the Competitive Soccer League. Ultimately we are preparing them for College level or Professional level play such as with our very own...
