The Juniors Program serves as our intermediate phase for players ages 11U-14U focused on continued development of technical skills while introducing the idea of tactics and the responsibilities and roles of different positions. The major emphasis in the Juniors program will be teaching players how to train effectively to be successfully on the field. Utilization of small-sided activities will be very important as we want players involved and on the ball throughout training as much as possible. The 11U-12U age groups will be experiencing true Classic or "travel" soccer for the first time as they will be playing in divisions with other regional teams and results will be kept to determine league champions. These two age groups will play in a 9v9 game format and we will encourage players to play in multiple positions in each game to enhance their soccer experience. Players in age groups 13U-14U will transition to play in a true 11v11 full-field format and the emphasis on learning the tactics of playing will increase. The Juniors program serves to prepare players to progress to the Seniors level by providing quality, age-appropriate instruction.
